CINCINNATI, Jan Miss Marie
Brockmeier has a dainty foot When a
gang of bandits entered the First Ma
tional bank at Lockland, Miss Brock
meier, the bookkeeper, held up her hands
obediently, but nothing was said to her
about her feet.
So she found an alarm button on tRe
floor with her tapering right toe and
pressed it down.
A big gong started to ring violently.
The gangsters scrambled out and fed in
an automobile
The gang was variously estimated as
numbering from four to six. Employees
Of the Lockland bank are good at figures,
but they can't agree on the gun count.
The place seemed full of firearms"
said one young woman, land they were
all pointed at me-"
Miss Brockmeier said it was more fun
than movie.
