BANDITS TELL
ROBBERY STORY
Continued From Page u


we drove around the country while
Walsh gave US the lay of the bank.
We drove back TO Mohawk and
Walsh went into the bank first and
Vinson followed him. I stayed in
the car with the motor running. A
few minutes later Walsh and Vinson
came out and said. All right. Let's
go
Takes Money and Jumps
when we got near Indianapolis
we saw some policemen in an automo-
bile end Walsh gave me the bag with
the money and told me to jump out
of the car and hide. l jumped out
and hid in the weeds, where l was
arrested later. The car went on"
Dasey said he was sorry the cashier
was not locked in room so he could
not spread the alarm.
Walsh, in his statement, said when
he first went to the bank he talked to
Cecil Y. Brooks. cashier. about getting
a job in the bank. Brooks corrobor-
ated this statement. He said when he
went back the second time he and Vim
son drew revolvers on Brooks, forced
him into the wash room and bound
and gagged him.
Vinson said he got out of the auto
mobile at Brookside Park and went
home, where he was arrested. Walsh
drove to w. Thirtieth ST., where he
was arrested Walsh said he got $50
of the money.
Police say Vinson was known as
John Borman and that he is the youth
accused last fall by a number of boy
automobile thieves of being their
leader They say Vinson served a sen
tence at the State farm for vehicle
taking and that he was once sentenced
20 the State Boys School.
When the police had finished ques-
tioning the bandits they were taken
to Greenfield by Sheriff New to face
trial. They asked for a speedy trial
and an opportunity to plead guilty
and ask for Ieniency.
Walsh was captured by G.. A. Pritch-
ard, 1860 N Meridian St, and Motor
Policeman Heller and Petit. Pritch-
ard, who operates a grain office in Mo-
hawk, followed the robbers to Indian
apolis. He had obtained a description
from Brooks.
Pritchard after returning to In
dianapolis discovered the bandit car
at Thirty-Fourth and Pennsylvania
SITS, and with the aid of the police
trailed it until Walsh was caught.
Walsh Tried Before
According to police, Walsh some
time ago was tried in Greenfield on
a charge of forgery and issuing fraud
ulent checks. The police say he also
admitted robbing the Aldag Coal Com
pany. 209 Good Ave. Of 1913 while
he was employed by the company.
The police say Dasey was wanted
for Issuing fraudulent checks.
Walsh and Dasey formerly lived at
the home Of Mrs. H. H. Biddle, 2065
Broadway She said they still owed
room rent and that they had taken
keys from her room.

WRITTEN FOR HIGH
I. SCHOOL STUDENTS

The MuzLey history that has
been criticized was written before
the war and before the accentuaicd
feeling OF patriotism the war en-
scndered became prevalent" Marsh
said. Little passages that before
the war would never flag anyones
attention have been picked out and
held up 10 attack. The 1888 re
vision OF Muzzcys history has elm.
mated some OF the minor causes
OF complaint.
"But the biggest single error OF
those who criticize the book b
that they refuse TO consider that
Muxxey's history Is for high schools.
not grammar schools, II - written
on the presumption that students
who have reached high school arc
,horoly familiar with all the chr rae.
ter stories and the hero stories OF
American history, And all hiEh
school students have such kuowl'
edge. There Is no rcason why
these same stories should be re-
peated in tho higher grade.
"The Cherry tree story Of George
Washington has no interest 20 a

20 elaborate upon tho economic and
