BANK BANDITS ESCAPE With $4,000

Two or three gangs of
bandits spread terror through
western Indiana today and a
dozen squads Of Indianapolis
police were rushed this after
noon to roads. leading from
that direction.
One band of five men took
loot, estimated at $4,000 by
the local office of the Indiana
State Bankers Association,
from the First National bank
at Clinton about noon.
Another gang of three men at
tempted at 1910 p. m. to hold up
the Danville State bank at DAN
vile, but we're routed by the daring
action of Raymond Piercy, 30,
bookkeeper. He slipped into the
vault, found a revolver and routed
the thugs.
Rob Filling Station
Earlier in the day three men had
staged a daring filling station hold
up a tClayton, getting only $50.
Three of the Clinton gang entered
the bank and forced President w.
M. Wright, Cashier John Straw,
bank employees, and four customers
into a rear room. Keeping them
covered with their guns, the bandits
leisurely scooped all the money,
bonds and paper money which even
looked like it might be valuable
from the cashiers cage and the
vault into sacks.
The bandits surveyed the stu
alton, to see if their exit was well
covered, and then calmly went out
to a Hupmobile sedan in which two
companions waited. They sped east,
but Clinton police believed they
veered toward Chicago.
Piercy, the bookkeper, ad o. M.
Biersol, cashier, were alone in the
Danville bank, located on the pub
lie square, when two bandits entered
about 1910.
Cover Cashier With Guns
The bandits covered Cashier
Biersol with their revolvers.
Piercy was in the rear of the bank
and lodged into the vault, where he
obtained revolver.
He rushed out, emptying his gun
at the robbers. One of the shots
went through the door of the bank,
narrowly missing the robbers.
They fired back at Piercy, but
as his bullets whizzed closer, they
gave up the battle and fled out.
A third bandit had been waiting
in a Buick sedan, with motor run
ming, outside. The trio sped away,
driving south.
At Clayton, the first town to be
visited by the bandits, the maraud-
ers held up a filling STATION, and
forced Ed johnson, the attendant
into rear compartment at the
point of a pistol.
indianapolis police thought that
the gang which staged the holdup
attempt at Danville might have
been the same gang that operated
at Clayton.
Police guarded all western roads
after the Clayton alarm was spread.
Chief Claude M. Worley doubled the
guard and searching squads this
afternoon after the Clinton and
Danville raids were reported.
Two squads of deputy sheriffs
were sent by Sheriff Omer Hawkins
into the western part of the county
to patrol for the Danville bandits.
