QUICK TRIGGER

BATTLE ON STATION PLATFORM
ENDS IN KILLING OF
HIGHWAYMAN
Postoffice EmpIoye, Surprised While
Reading Newspaper. Opens
Deadly Fire With
Automatic

East Orange, N. J.-Quick think
ing and steady aim by a postoffice
employe prevented a $4,000 mai
robbery here.
One of the two bandits who at
tempted the robbery in the Laka-
wanna railway station was shot and
killed by Eugene Stack, postal en-
ploye, during battle on the station
platform.
Stack himself was struck twice by
bullets. The second bandit escaped.
Five pouches, containing about
$4,000 in registered mail and money
orders, were on the platform as the
gunner approached. A sixth bag,
filled with federal reserve currency
from New York, which ordinarily is
with the other five, did not arrive
Thursday.
Stack approached the upper post
office platform to await arrival of a
mail train from New York at 4:58
a. m. He was reading a newspaper
as the bandits came up from the
other end of the station.
Without warning, one of the men
drew an automatic and opened fire
on Stack and a negro helper. The
negro fled, but Stack, although hit
IN the leg, drew his own revolver and
fired six shots at the bandits. One
of the men was shot through the
chest and killed. The other fled down
a stairway and escaped.
