The bookkeeper told the detectives
! how one of the bandits entered the
bank, asked to see a telephone direc-

on a piece Of paper. She remembered
his leaving the bank. which probably
| was signal for his accomplices to
make the raid. and presently the men
made the rush, each displaying two
revolvers.
Firing Of the pistol shot was the
next thing that happened" Miss
Brooke said; and she told how the
bandits pushed and drove the several
persons to the rear room. She told
of the rough treatment endured at
the hands of the highwaymen and
how they fastened the hands of the
men and herself.
After several minutes spent in a
search for money and securities. Miss
Brooke told the detectives, one of the
bandits returned to the rear room.
where another armed man stood
guard, and got Mr.. Miller, saying he
wanted him to show where the bal
ance of the cash and securities could
be found.
Then we were hustled into the
vault" Miss Brooke explained. "and
passing through the bank I saw two
white sacks on the floor. 1 suppose
they had the money In them"
Miss Brook further explained that

intending to put him in the vault
with the others.

Then Miss Brooke and the men were
locked in the vault She suggested they
probably were in there about fifteen
minutes before ssistance came.
Seek Trace Of Bandits Car.
This morning the detectives en-
lengaged In the investigation motored
to the vicinity of the crime and re-
newed their investigation for the pur-
pose of trying to learn something of
the car in which the bandits rode.
Police Of the tenth precinct were told
that a high-powered car had been
seen speeding north on Georgia ave-
nue. near the District line about 2
Io'clock yesterday afternoon.
A merchant near the DlStrlct line
told of having seen the car speeding
at least forty miles an hour, and that
he thought it contained seven or eight
men. He was interviewed by the de-
tectives today. and the officers inter
viewed a number Of other persons on
the subject along the road. both in
the District and Maryland.
Inspector Grant told a Star re-
porter this morning that he would
have his men do all in their power to
assist the Maryland authorities to
capture the bandits, permitting them
to labor in Maryland as well as in
the District.

father or mother or baby had lain in
a hospital for days-someone whose
experience had stamped on his mind
forever a picture OF white, plain bed;
white. plain room; white, silent CORR

silent nurses. There are many such.
Hospitals now are being established
by the score, institutions of the Uni

are to care for the former service men
who need medical or surgical atten-
ton. Some OF the patients will make
short stays. Some will be there
years. Many are tuberculosis wreck
ed, with none too much JOY in life
ahead at best.
