they took a pair OF scissors and
cut her about the arms, shoulders,
neck and chest; and then made their
escape.
Mrs. Toothman says the men had
entered TIE office a short time be-
fore the robbery and inquired
about work, ara she had told them
to see the timekeeper. A short time
later they came back, stuffed a
handkerchief in her mouth. threw a
cloak over her head and tied her
hands and feet She tainted and
cannot tell how long the men were
In the building. but when she re-
covered she found the robbers had
inflicted wounds on her body.

timore and Ohio station, bandits en-
tered the office and looted the place

over $500 in checks. The ticket agent
was at supper when the robbery took
place.
II Is thirty feet from the river bank
to the window through which the
robbers entered. A small pipe runs
along the building about half away
down from the window to the bank,
and the bandits placed one ladder from
the bank to this pipe and the other on
the pipe and thus covered the distance.

robbers were able to work without
being seen by persons in the waitin g
room.
No trace has been found OF them. II

scape by boat as bloodhounds called
into action followed the trail along
the rivers edge a short way and then
lost II.
