the sub-machine gun. One climbed
over the tellers' cages, one entered
the vault and went over the main
counter. All three men actively
working scooped up the bills and
change and then covered by the
other two men backed out of the
building and made away in the
black Ford.
The hold-up occurred between
bury police were Immediately noti-
fed of the hcld-up. Their first in
formation over the teletype was
apparently misleading. At first the
Waterbury police were warned to
look out for a green Chrysler
sedan. This was later corrected to
involve blue Buick sedan and
finally black Ford sedan.
Halt One Car
Leaving Waterbury the Water
bury detectives went east along
East Main street, warning all po-
licemen to be on the watch for the
bandits car. Reaching the top of
Southington mountain, on Meriden
road, they stopped a car bearing
Massachusetts, markers, because
the black Ford was reported as
bearing markers from the Bay
State, but found that they had not
halted the bandit car.
Detectives johnson and NOEL
ligott then proceeded to Milldale
and as far as the Ten Mile river in
Southington. Then they doubled
back and went to Meriden, South
Meriden, Yalesville and Walling-
ford. The Waterbury police were
quickly in possession of informa-
ton as to the description of the
bandits car and also with the We
hicle to which the robbers are sup
posed to have changed or divided
on the Wallingford-Ch Cheshire road.
This Is A Hold-Up
AS the men who held up the
bank entered the institution, one
yelled this is a hold-up" while
another cried stick them up"
Menaced by the machine gun the
bank employees obeyed. AS the
bandits were leaving the building
George Wilkinson, treasurer of the
bank, who was Just about to enter
the building, dashed around the
side of the structure, climbed to a
second story and broke a window.
He was too late, however to aid
the employees who had been men,
aced by the hold-up guns.
Another employee. Stephen Hop
kins, a bookkeeper in the bank,
said that he was at work in the
rear Of the institution when he
heard the order stick them up"
He turned around fast enough to
right into his eye. He obeyed.

Prosecuting Attorney Larkin
quoted an ordinance passed in July

parking is restricted on Grand

ordinance, parking Is not restrict
ed from the post Office west. add
ing 1t meant China as far as !
am concerned" He explained fur
Their that Mr. Weisman did not vio-
late the ordinance pertaining to
parking within Is feet of cross
walk. pointing out that MIR Weis-
mans car was more than Is feet
east of the walk from the Water
bury National bank buildings to
the corner of Leavenworth and
Grand, where the bus terminal is
located. In other words, Mr. Larkin
pointed out, parking cannot be re-
stricted anywhere on Grand street
beyond the point from Bank street
to the post Office, under the pres
ent ordinances.
Conferred With Supt

ferred with Superintendent Of Po-
lice Joseph H. Mclean and learned
that the ,ard of police commits
sioners had prepared an order
some time ago that would give the
police superintendent unlimited
power in traffic regulation. but
that the order was never passed by
the board.
