j. s. AGENTS TRAP
BANK BANDIT GANG
Confederate of Kid We'll
Caught While Attempt
ing to Dispose of Bonds.

Chicago yellow KIDD We'll
is being Swallowed by federal opera
tives after his confederate, Jimmie
Head, was caught disposing of bonds
definitely connecting him with bank
rObberes with a total loot of $500, 900.
Loss of more than 100000 in fifty
bank robberes in this state since Jan
uary l, 1924, will result in officials of
all the robbed banks coming to Chi
cago TO attempt to identify Head, Will
liam III. Suchier, real estate operator
with a shady past, and his partner,
Anthony BarOsSO, arrested after Head
was taken as he was selling stolen
bonds.
v. S. to Arrest We'll.
Federal warrants were issued for
Wells arrest, but it was reported that
they were not served because the Unit
ed States operatives shadowing We'll
want to see his reaction to the arrest
of his pal.
The police and federal men are con-
WINGED that the Yellow Kid, notorious
confidence worker for years, has de-
serted his suave vocation for the more
desperate work of a bank robber
Head a former safeblower and COM
panion Of Yellow Kid Well was ar
rested while he was passing over $10,-
600 in stolen industrial bonds in a
brokerage office.
On his person were $4,000 in reg
istered Liberty bonds, identified as
loot of three spectacular bank rob-
beries-the Northwest National bank
of Milwaukee, where the robbers OBJ
tanned S2TS,O00; the Shumway Qll)
Citizens State bank, robbed of $780,
600, and the Farmers State bank of
Chenoa ILL.,, where robbers obtained
SlS4.0OO while posing as bank exam
liners.
The manner in which the Chenoa
bank was victimzed last January was
said at the time to have aroused sus-
picions Of bank sleuths that the rob-
berry had been planned and executed
by master confidence men rather than
the usual type of bank robbers.
Posed as Bank Examiners.
Two men entered the bank on Jan
uary l3 and explained that they had
been appointed bank examiners by Os-
car Nelson, the new state auditor.
They asked to inspect the bank in
routine fashion, and went about their
task with the assistance of President
j. f. Kelley of the bank When the
supper hour arrived the bank en-
ployees went out to eat, leaving the
examiners at their work with Mr..
Kelley. When the trio were alone, Mr..
Kelley soon found himself bound and
gagged. The examiners moved out
every available dime in the bank.
The total loot of banks in Illinois
and adjoining states since the alleged
beginning of the supposed operations
Of the Weil-Head combination is well
over $2,000000, according to federal
officials, who hope to prove that the
greater portion of the loot reached the
hands Of the syndicate to be turned
in.O cash.
