GAME BROADWAY BANK MEN
BEST BANDIT AT SHOOTING
Drive Off Merry Daylight Thief In Pistol Bat
tie In Manhattan Savings Institution at
B!eecker Street.

When Sands ducked behind the
counter he shouted to the olher en-
ployes: ,,
Bandits. Get your guns. boys.
Then the battle began. Ihe depos-
itors fiattened themselves against the
walls or dashed to safety IN the
street. Three bullets went through
the front window of the bank into a
haberdashery shop across the street:
Others We're imbedded in the walls Oh
the bank.
At the police station, to which ne
was taken, Stratton declared he had
no accomplices, and the police de-
cided the two men who were thought
by bank employees to be assisting him
of safety.
Constant NJ. Bird, president of the
bank, was one of those who helped
foil the robber. He left his office IN
the rear of the building, revolver IN
hand, to reinforce the employees.
All the employees of the Manhattan
Savings Bank had been coached for
years in what to do if an attack was
made by robbers. All of them are
familiar with the details of the ia
nous cleanup made there forty-odd
years ago by Jimmy Hope, Red Leary
and Shang Draper, who burglariZed
the bank and escaped with hundreds
of thousands of dollars. This robbery
was the most sensational in the po-
lice annals of the city. The thieves
entered in the night and escaped with
their loot, but finally were caught in
connection with other robberies.
