Looters Were Local Youths.

Detectives have uncovered minor
clews that may solve the robbery of
the Forty Second Street State Bank
robbery Tuesday when $13,514 was
taken.
Detectives found some personal
property belonging to the four
bandits when they re-checked evil
dence. To trace ownership of this
property will be difficult, Simon said.
Belief that the bandits were To-
cal youths is boosted by the fact
that no auto resembling the small
suto used by the bandits has been
found deserted. 1t was believed the
bandits would change to larger
auto make their getaway. Prob
ably they rode to cover at some ga
rage near the scene of the hold-up.
