attendants said. After securing
a ticket for the machine. the man
left and has not been seen since.
The robbery was attempted
about noon yesterday. Five ban,
dts, armed with pistols and
sawed-off shotguns, walked into
the bank and stuck up the at
tendants.
John Siemt. 10 years old, q
watchman, pulled his blackjack
a. d struck one of the bandits on
the head, then jumped behind
the vault door as a heavy charge
Of buckshot from a shotgun spat-
tered against the steel door.
Stem then craWled beneath a
desk ledge end pushed a button
which sounded gong outside.
Alarmed, the bandits fled from
the building and stepped into an
automobile which stood parked at
the curb with the engine run
ming. The machine disappeared.
Police Soon on Scene
The police arrived about two
minutes after the bandits had
made their getaway. Employees
and customers who were trapped
in the institution were taken to
headquarters and shown hun.
dreds Of rogue'S gallery portraits.
Capt Charles H. Burns, head OF
the detective bureau, denied any
Of the witnesses had identified
the bandits from pictures, but one
Of the customers, Mrs Lillian
Bontz, 40. of the 1900 block East
Baltimore St., said she thought
she saw the picture Of one Of the
men at headquarters.
Capt. Burns has been in com
munication with Richmond au-
thorities in an effort to trace
ownership of the bandits auto
mobile, which bore Virginia license
No. 3704. The car, he found, was
registered to a fictitious person
at an equally fictitious address IN
an out-of-the-way Virginia town.
Things began to happen the
minute the men Stalked through
the door Of the bank and Williar1

facing q pistol. simultaneously.
other employees were covered by
pistols and Sawed-off ShotgunS.
Customers were herded to one
side.
Protected BY Two Sets
The bank is protected by two
sets of alarms. one of which went
out Of commission and was re-
paired Wednesday. One set COM
municatt : directly with police
headquarters and the district sta
ton, while the other, located in
Stems room at the back Of the
bank, is in contact not only with
police stations but the American
District Telegraph Protective
Service. It was over the latter
system that Stems flashed his
warning.
"The alarm outside the bank
was sounding and things were in
an uproar," Stems declared. Fol
lowing the shot, one OF the
bandits at the receiving teller's
window called to the man inside
the cage, Come on jack He was
the man with the shotgun.
HE seemed bewildered, but he
finally backed slowly to the re-
ceiving teller's window. There
was $500 in a bundle lying on
the desk there. He looked it over
quickly and at that shouted to
him hurry, you fool, your part
ners are leaving. If you don't
want to get caught. get out He
did not stop to pick up the
money, but climbed over and left
the bank with the others"
The bewilderment of the bandit
evidently was caused by the blow
received from the blackjack of
the Watchman.

LAWYERS F { A R
To PUT LILA
ON STAND
Continued From Page y

(Continued From Page T.
Lila's attorneys asked this ques-
ton: would you be prejudiced
against this defendant If she did
not take the witness stand?" II
they replied In the affirmative
they were Immediately chal-
lenged.
Implies Guilt
Lila's lawyers realize that her
failure to testify might imply
guilt in the minds of certain
jurors and that is why they are
finding it so difficult to definitely
decide on the question of whether
she should or should not testify.
There was no session of the
trial today. the case having been
adjourned late yesterday when
the State rested until Monday.
The defense has maintained
the greatest secrecy as to the pro-
cedure they will adopt in the
effort to break down the ad-
mittedly strong case District At
torney Guy B. Moore has built
up against Lila. While Marchand
was the most spectacular witness
produced by the State, the wit
ness who gave the most damaging
testimony against Lila was old
Nancy Bowen.
Gets Letters
"Ba" Bowen, who has also been
indicted for the murder of Mrs.
Marchand and who is to be tried
later, did not spare herself Or
Lila In revealing the manner in
which the Staying was planned
and carried out. The SuperSti-
tious old Indian woman told how
she had been influenced by let
ters which led her to believe Mrs.
Marchand was a witch" who
was responsible for the death Of
her husband, "SaSsafras Charlie"
Bowen, and who planned to kill
her and five other persons. These
letters, the State contends, were
written by Lila who wanted Mrs.
Marchand out Of the way so that
Marchand might feel free to
marry her.
The State also proved through
Mrs. Bowen'S testimony that Lila
accompanied Nancy to Buffalo
the day Of the murder and that
Lila bought the hammer which
was used by Mrs. Bowen when
she slew the scuIptor'S wife. Not
only that but the State also
brought out that Lila accom-
panied Mrs. Bowen to the Mar
chand home a week prior to the
Staying and pointed out the
victim"
Marchand proved to be a good
witness for himself.
Admitted Affairs
Iila's lawyers were unable dur
ing cross-examination to shake his
story that he had no advance
knowledge that his wife was TO
be slain. He said with brutal
franknesS that he never loved Lila
nor any of the other women with
whom he had lived with tor 81
wears. He declared he had never
suggested marriage to Lila. His
affair" with Lila was dictated by
professional necessity" He was
a sculptor of Indian groups and
he needed a woman of Lila's type
to pose for him.
Henri Marchand, jr., his II
year-old son, clinched the philan-
dering artists story when he tes-
titled his father and mother were
always on the best of terms and
that he had never known them to

NAVAL AIR LOOT
| IS RECOVERED

An investigation Of alleged
thefts OF property at the Ana
costa Naval Air Station during
the past year has led to the arrest
Of two women by Sergt. j. E. Fon-
dahl and Policemen j. E. Bennett
and M. Caussin, of the Traffic
Bureau.
The women, arrested in raids
on two houses in the 1900 block
Half st. IS. w, gave the names of
Della Hunt and Susie jackson.
Both were charged with receiving
stolen property. The police said
they found some OF the missing
Air Station property in the
houses. Similar raids on two
! houseboats in the Anacostia River
at the foot of South Capitol
Street, are said to have netted
more OF the property. About
$4,000 in property was recovered.
Another woman, Sally Knott.
taken in the raids, is not suspected
OF completely in the thefts, it is
said, but was charged with va
grancy. The small daughter of
the Knott woman, said to have
been in an undernourished con-
dition, was turned over to the
welfare agency.
The policemen, after the raids,
secured warrants for Richard
Hunt and Richard Collins, charg-
ing theft of Government prop
erty. Investigation of the alleged
thefts has been under way since
April. Clothing. dishes, blankets
and silverware are listed among
the missing articles.

Col. Engleden had written:
Eve have had an affair here today
the like Of which has not occurred
since I took over my governorship
nor, understand, for some years
before that. Two of the men in
my charge here have made good their
escape. This morning, at an early
hour, two of my most dependable
warderS, Settle and Millwaters, both
men whose probity is, in my opinion,
beyond question, took out q party Of
nine men to an outlying portion of our
ground. on the edge of the moor, and
in close proximity to high road that
runs down from ChurtonStead to Spar
mouth. Both warderS, of course, were
armed. Everything went on all right
until about half past o'clock, when
a powerful motor car came in sight
from the direction Of Churtonstead.
1T was being driven at rapid rate,
and as 1t drew near, Millwaters saw
that there were two men in front and,
he believes Qt was a closed carl, one
inside. AS 1t got nearer it slowed down
and came to a halt near the prisoners.
One of the men In front got down and
proceeded (this was undoubtedly q
piece of bluff to make some 1nspec-
ton of the engine. Presently the man
inside got out and joined him. After
time the first man got back into
the drivers seat and the other man
swung open the door again, to reseat
himself. This was obviously signal.

Settle fired at one; MillwaterS at the
other. Settle believes he hit Hardle,
and saw him stagger q little. Both,
however, gained the car, which was al
ready moving, and dashed into it; the
man who held the door open followed
and the car shot of at tremendous
speed and in another minute was lost
to sight in the fluctuations Of the moor.
