Intellectual Search for Those
Who Robbed Manufacturing
Firm in Detroit.
GET AWAY WITH $4,000
AFTER WOUNDING A MAN
Search Extended to All Points
Within One Hundred Miles
of the City.

DETROIT August 5.-Search was be-
ing vigorously prosecuted today in
every county surrounding Detroit for
the five automobile bandits who, arm
ed with rifles and automatic pistols,
yesterday afternoon held up the motor
pay car of the Burroughs Adding Ma
chine Company and made off with be-
tween $4,000 and $4,000, after shoot
ing and slightly wounding one man.
The robbery, which occurred within
half block of the Burroughs plant.
is declared to have been the most dar-
ing in the history of Detroit.
Did Their Work Swiftly.
1t was accomplished so quickly that
pants Of the pay car. a number Of
guards in a car following and the ban
dts themselves realized what was hap
pening. the robbers had transferred five
cash bags to their own machine and
were out of sight. Hundreds of per-
sons who saw the hold-up smiled in the
belief that they were witnessing the
scenario of a photoplay.
One of the robbers is said to have
lost his hat and revolver. both of which
are now in the possession of the po-
lice.
Police Take Up Trail.
Nine automobiles. filled with Detroit
policemen and two loaded with deputy
sheriffs, in command of Sheriff Oakman
of this tWayne) county. took up the
chase a short time after the hold-up.
At latest reports all still were securing
the surrounding country except three
or four officers, who returned about
midnight and reported they could go
no farther in the search
Vague reports from several towns and
villages lying outside of Detroit to the
effect that the robbers were believed
to have been seen passing through
there were received, but, despite the
fact that every clue was promptly
picked up and followed. the robbers
today still were at large.
