Two Bandits on Motorcycles.
Working in the most approved style
of the stony books, TIVE men entered
a shanty housing 30 employees of a
construction company doing work on
the NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. road, two
miles from Hightstown, flashed reYolv-
ers before the sleepy inmates and
proceeded to rob them of their weeks
pay, amounting to nearly $500.
The men were heard to ride up to
the shanty on motorcycles, stop out
side and dismount. When they enter
ed each carried a revolver. There was
an air of determination about them
that gave the impression that when
they ordered the occupants to throw
up their hands they meant prompt
obedience. The workmen were then
ordered to turn over their money, and
one by one they emptied their pockets
on a table in front of the bandits.
Upon completion of the job they gath
cred the spoils and made their get
away.
Some of the victims recognized the
robbers as men who Were discharged
from the employ of the construction
company a short time ago and have
furnished the police with accurate de-
scriptions of them. One wore khaki
and had a large scar on the back of
his head. The other wore civilian
clothes.
