a spectacular highway robbery

from Floyd Reed, bank mes
senger, between Clinton and St.
Bernice, Ind.

American State Bank at St. Bernice
and was to meet the pay roll Of the
Chicago, Milwaukee g. ST. Paul
railroad there.
Leap From Cornfield
At point on the highway almost
halfway between Clinton and St..
Bernice, three bandits leaped from
cornfield at the side of the road and
opened fire on Reeds auto.
Reed and his guards were taken by
surprise and were covered by the
bandits before they could return the
flre. The three bank men were not
hit by the outlaws bullets.

and his companions were forced to
leave the auto and one Of the bandits
grabbed the satchel containing the
money.

the cash was about 45 and wore a
false beard. The other appeared to
be between 35 and 40 years old.
Disable Auto
The robbers disarned Reed and
the two guards and disabled the en-
gine Of their auto so they could not
take up the pursuit.
An auto containing two other
members of the gang was waiting
around a turn In the road near the
scene Of the hold-up.
AT signal from their confede-
rates, the two men in the auto drove
up and the FIVE sped away north
ward in the direction of Danville,

Of bandits. The safe was blown on
April 10, 1924 and s15,857 taken.
