Commendable Police Work.

In the capture OF the young bandit
nearly seven thousand dollars at the
point OF 4 gun on Tuesday the police
have done commendable piece Of
work The robbery was executed with
coolnoSS and dispatch Approaching
the two messengers while they were
seated in an automobile, the bandit
poked a gun in their faces and calmly
walked away with his loot. The only
clue on which the police had to work
was a good description OF the robber
which was furnished by the bank run
ners. On Wednesday night merchant
reported to headquarters that nattily
dressed youth. fitting the description Of
the bandit. had attempted TO change a
fifty-dollar bill From this hot tip po-
licemen Immediately picked up his trah
and arrested Charles A. Rhodes at
three O'Clock in the morning at his
rooming house All OF the loot was re-
covered from where ii had been hidden
in his room. except thirty -eight dollars
that ne had spent and some checks
that he had burned. He told the ar
resting officers that he was planning to
leave for the West the next day and
that they were lucky TO have gotten
him.
Alert police work was responsible fos
the apprehension OF this young
bandit He had committed a robbery
that was daring in conception and eX-
ecution. While no suspicion attached
to the two messengers by bank officials
because of the frankness OF their ac-
count OF the happening and their good
records. the prevalence in all parts OF
the country of fake hold-ups. coupled
with the fictionlike manner In which
the bandit operated undoubtedly
aroused slight skepticism The arrest
and confession OF the thief. therefore.
marks not only exceptionally capable
police work. but a happy conclusion Of
the case for all concerned. except pos
sIbly the robber. who should be given
