In one respect the bank robbery al
Card!n WAS similar "a the one. per
petrated on the Sperry state bank
several months ago. In both instances
the officers had been tipped of that
rohbcries were 10 bc attempted, but
when they received the advance Ups
| they were not sure when the Jobs
/ wcre to be pulled
However, there was this dissimi
/ larity In the two robberies--the OF
| ficers had hidden nearby when the
| Cardin bank was robbed, and within
\ few seconds after the robbery was
/ committed they opened fire on the
! robbers.
Tho same plan could have been
! carried out when the Sperry bank
was robbed. It is understood, but be-
/ cause OF "A wcll-founded belief that
! there were higher ups and accom-
plices Officers COutented themselves
| 10y watching the robbers escape aft
| er they had been positively identi-
/ He'd subsequently those who had
| participated In the daring holdun
/ were arrested but they are all cN-
/ ccpt one enjoying their liberty on
/ supcrsedoas bonds. Eddie Shou'
quette 10 confined IN the Tulsa county
| jail. his bondsmen having withdrawn
when he was implicated In a case OF
/ auto theft.
Stool Pigeon Used.
/ The parallel feature OF the tive
holdups shows that In both cases d
"stool pigeon" was responsible foI
the apprehension or death OF tho
. robbers.
Local police officers last night de-
clared that II any OF the Cardin bank
. robbers used a car bearing r. Tulss
license they had amateurishly over
looked a possible clue to their idcn
tlty. IN IL Is not already known. Tn,
officers thought II more probable
that all marks OF Identification or
the car had hecn removed, and thai
the reported sight OF Tulsa license
I IL without foundation.
