old building on the outskirts of

the first person approaching, but
when the authorities set fire TO
the structure he came out into the

Perrine last week walked into
the local bank, and pointing re-
volver at the cashier ordered him
to hand over the cash. The latter
did as directed and when he had
counted out $3.50 the youth told
him that that was all he wanted,

to get back home to St. Louis.
After his arrest Perrine would
say nothing about the robbery ex-
cept that he would give the money
back if they would let him go
