They were both young men, one

a little over that. The older gave the
name of Fred Morton and said he
hailed from Duluth. The other said
his name was William Craig and that
he came from Detroit Mich. They said
they had been here several days,

what they said that before the hold

the robbers had their faces concealed

After completing their robbery, the
masked men closed and fastened both
the car doors, leaving their victims
inside. However. the latter managed
to work the doors open and hurried
to the police station, where they told
their story There seemed to be no
way OF establishing the identity of the
thieves.
