Ambold Is a Richmonder and his
mother, Mrs. A. +. Ambold. resides
at 42o South Pine Street. He has no,
been here for some time. Police. to-
gether with Federal officers. decided i
yesterday to search the former home
OF Ambold for clues to a possible rob :
berry OF a Richmond bank. In force
they descended on the dwelling OF the
lone woman yesterday afternoon.
They were met at the door and re-
fused entrance.
Mrs. Ambold declared that she lived
alone and that the officers had no
right to search her home. She re-
fused them entrance and ordered
them from the porch. So emphatic
was she. the officers declared. tha,
they were convinced she knew moth
Ing OF the proposed robbery and al
lowed themselves to be driven not
only from the porch. but from the
yard.
Officials OF the Department OF JUS
tice last night declared that they
have received word from operatives
in Connellsville. to the effect that

Ambold had signed a complete con-
fession of his guilt in sending the

the purple mask band. We rob. only
the rich and help the poor. So 1 am
warning you as / always do. AS

Some OF the officials of the de-

but 1t impressed the police to such
an extent that a Gordon OF police
Is being thrown around the bank

learned yesterday.

was learned yesterday that instruc-
tions have been received to bring
Ambold to Richmond for trial, IL the
prosecuting attorney OF the Pennsyl-
