BANDITS STAGE
z RAIDS HERE
$1,000 Seized by Trio in
HoIdups of Downtown
Office Stats.

Three bandits made two hit-and-
run stops in downtown Offices here
today within Is minutes of each
other, gathering almost $1,000 in
their stops.
Two waited in a car at the
Western Auto Store, 1863 N. Illinois,
st, while one went in. He reached
the foot of stairway leading to a
balcony office of Manager j. L.
Liebert and started up.
Fred Blanton, 1434 Roosevelt
standing at the bottom of the stairs,
stopped him.
Pardon me, 1 think I'm next"
Mr.. B1anton said, and started up
stairs ahead
The bandit followed and ordered
Mr.. Blanton and Mr.. Liebert to lie
on the floor. He picked up two
cloth sacks with between 500 and
$3.50 in them, and left. Clerks and
customers carried on business as
usual in full view of the bandit.
He joined the two in the car and
then they drove to the National
Furniture Co., 335 w. Washington
st, where all three entered BRAN
dishing guns.
They herded six clerks and Ma
than Kahn, owner, into an inclos-
ure along the side of the store,
where one remained to guard them.
Two went back to the rear in the
credit department, off which, in
small room, auditors were going
over the books.
There they threatened three girl
employees with guns, and compelled
D. w. Sherman, credit manager, to
open the vault, from which they
took between $700 and $500 in cash.
They brought the three girls and
Mr.. Sherman to the Enclosure at the
side, herded them in with other en-
pl0yes and left.
The auditors were undisturbed and
did not know the store had been
held up.
These threatened by the men were

DISARM SAAR,
FRANCE INSISTS
And Hitler Agrees to De-
mand in Principle; Trans
fer to Be March |.
Copyright. 1895. BY United Press

tCOpYTlRQJ. 1850, DV OQlJeQ PTeSSl
GENEVA, Jan. 17.-Germany to-
day agreed ip principle to demil-
itarization of the Saar, as demanded
by France and Great Britain.
French fears of attack unless the
Saar was included specifically in
the Rhineland zone caused dis
pute which delayed the League of
Nations Council decision to award
the territory to Germany.
AS a result of the German agree
ment, the way was believed open
for immediate award of the terri
tory to the reich.
AS soon as Germany agreed IN
principle to the demilitarization
France agreed that the Saar should
be handed over formally to Ger
many on March 1, the date sug-
geSted. Germany withdrew its
demand that the transfer be made
by Feb. Is.
The German reply to the French
demands was submitted this morn
ing. 1t is said that the Versailles
Treaty settled the demilitarization
problem. This implied that, in
asmuch as the treaty demilitarized
the entire Rhineland and the Saar
is in the Rhineland, the Saar
would remain demilitarized.
If the French formally accept
the German reply as satisfactory
it is expected that the council will
make its declaration of award this
afternoon.

It was the stark duty of Patrol

shack early today, shipped four re-
volvers into the prison on con-
struction truck, the confessions said.
Hidden under the coWl of the
truck, the weapons rode in and out
of the prison for several days be-
fore the plotters had a chance to
remove them and carry them into
the prison carpenter shop. There
two of the guns we're placed in a
keg of nails and the other two were
hidden under a band saw to await
the day the State Board of Prison
Terms and Paroles met at the
prison.
PlOtterS Strike Swiftly
The plan was to seize Warden
James B. Holohan and Frank C.
Sykes, president of the board, and,
using them as hostages, force their
way from the prison.
Straight told Alex Mckay, Los
Angeles robber, of the plan. They
persuaded Joe Kristy, 26, Los An
geles kidnaper, and Fred Landers,
81, San Francisco robber, to join
them. Kristy, Mckay and Landers
we're working on house project
outside the walls near Holohan's
home.
The board met yesterday and the
plotters struck. Straight, using an
other convict's coat, walked through
the gate and boarded the same
truck which had brought in the
guns. The truck was driven by
Mckay to the warden's home, where
the other plotters joined the group.
Warden's Skull Fractured
Unnoticed by guards, they entered
the rear door of the residence and
met Warden Holohan. Straight, &C
cording to the story told by the
others, slugged the official with the
butt of a revolver. Warden Eolo-
hans skull was fractured. He is in
critical condition.
Mr.. Sykes, Warren Anterior and
Joseph Stephens, members of the
board, and Mark Noon, secretary,
were in the dining room. They were
forced to change clothing with the
prisoners and to march to Warden
Holohan's automobile standing at
the front door. Two guards met on
the way were commanded to accom-
pany the party.
Using the six captives as hostages
and shields, the quartet fed north
ward, turned back and headed for
the coast. They were trapped at
Valley Ford, 40 miles from the
prison, and in the gun battle that
followed, Straight received fatal
wounds.
Meanwhile, Stevens, sought for
days as the bandit who had held up
four San Francisco banks, was
traced to an island in the San
Joaquin delta region, where he pre-
sumably had gone to keep a rem
devious with fhe fugitives. He was
captured without a show Of resist
ance, although he was heavily
armed.

them that the body Col. Lindbergh
identified as that of his baby might
have been a child who had strayed
from nearby orphanage.
The state opened this phase of
the case by putting on the stand
William Allen, Negro, and Orville
Wilson, his partner, who made the
chance discovery near the Mt. Rose
I'd, four and a half miles from the
Lindbergh home.
1t began its testimony to refute
any supposition that Col. Lindbergh
was mistaken, when Sergt zapolsky
was called to say that the baby's
hair still chung to his head when
he was found. The hair is impor-
tant, because it matched curl
treasured by Mrs Dwight w. Nor
row, the baby's grandmother.
Bares Chilling Details
1t followed the Identification line
through Inspector Harry Walsh of
the Jersey City police, who told of
matching the clothing found on the
body with cloth from the Lindbergh
home.
Then it called Coroner Walter
Swayze, who signed the death GER
tiicate, and DR.. Charles Mitchell,
the coroner's physician who made
the autopsy.
Dr. Mitchell took his hearers
through the chilling details of his
examination. and supported the
states opening declaration that:
l. Death was caused by a frac-
tured skull
2. Death occurred on the night
of the kidnapping

employees of the firm. testified that
they prepared the ransom money
which Mr.. Barlow turned over to Al

At that point recess for lunch was
