Gladys Moffat who sang "Silver

USED SAME METHODS IN OTHER PLACES

Altoona, Pa, December 17.-Methods pursued by Frank G. Hohl when he robbed the Union Bank of Altoona on March g last were almost identical with those that cost him his life at Cincinnati today. Driving up to theNbank in stolen taxicab the bandit forced the paying tel Ter from his cage and wounded the cashier. He took nearly s3000 in bills from the safe, wounding a depositors he met at the door as he left Scattering the crowd on the street with fusillade of shots, he disappeared in the taxicab. The machine was found abandoned sew eral hours later.
 Hohl was arrested at Salem, O., April f. He made a desperate attempt to es- cape in Pittsburg while being conveyed here. While eating at a restaurant with a detective he threw a cup of coffee in the officers face but was caught as he dashed from the room.
 Hohl escaped from the Hollidaysburg Jail in a sensational manner April 12 Making a rope from the mattress cover in his cell he removed his clothing and slipped through the bars of a window eight feet above the koor. The bars which he had covered with soap, were less than six inches apart. He then drew himself up to the roof and lowered himself to the ground with the inpro- vised rope attached to a chimney.
 Hohl began his career of crime in Harrisburg, his home city, when boy.
