STATE POLICE
FOIL ROBBERS:
TWO KILLED
Thieves Permitted 10 Walk
Into Trap Carefully
Set at Bank

The State Police of Pennsylvania
were instrumental in halting a bank
robbery at Orwell. o., last night
and giving information to the Ohio
authorities which resulted in the
killing of two of the robbers and
the fatal wounding of a third. The
police are hot on the trail of the
fourth and hope to have him be-
fore the close of the day, according
to reports received here to-day by
Captain George +. Lumb, acting
head OF the State Police
Captain Lumb received word of
the prospective robbery through
private sources. The plot was for
the men, all of them Poles, whose
names are not on record here, to
go from a point in Western Penn
sylvania, to Warren, O., there to
steal an automobile and drive it to.
Orwell, where the bank of that
place was to be looted and the
stolen car used as n means of get
ting the booty back into Pennsyl-
vania.
Auto Is PLANTED"
Captain Lumb directed ser
geant of the State Poll G to go to
Warren with an automo lie. where
it was carefully planted" at
spot where the robbers were ex-
pected to look for a car. The four
men appeared on schedule time,
took the car left for them and
drove in it to Orwell Meanwhile,
at Captain Lumb's orders, Lieuten-
ant Gearhart, of the State Police,
had gone to Orwell and informed
the Sheriff of the intended rob-
berry. A posse was formed and the
men hidden around the bank. When
the robbers appeared late last night
three of them were allowed to force
their way into the bank and the
fourth took up his post outside as
q watcher.
The Sheriff and his men came out
of their concealment and demanded
the surrender of the robbers. who
at once opened fire on the officers,
with the result that two bandits
were killed and one fatally injured,
the fourth making his escape with
the police in hot pursuit.
