BANDIT HOLDS UP
BANK; Gets $4,000
MISSEo $4,000 IN TIE VAULT

York, Pa.J--A stranger walked in
to the Farmers State Bank at Hal

ing, with a revolver, forced him to
hand over all the money in sight.
Then he backed the cashier and his
son Philip Blessing and Miss Eva
Fisher, bank employees, into the vault
and was about to lock them in when
The girl became hysterical and the
robber relented. He informed his
captives that if they would promise
to keep quiet twenty minutes he
would do nothing further. They
readily agreed and the fellow walked
away with a little over $4,000. Appar-
emily he left no trace.
The quietness with which it was
accomplished is the marvel OF the
police authorities here, for as late as
an hour afterward even bank direc-
tors living in the town did not know
it had occurred.
Cashier Blessing says that in the
vault was about $4,000 other cash
which the robber did not demand and
which he therefore missed.
Edward Smith, a former profes
sional baseball player, next day was
arrested at his home in Windsor.
