There is a .38 staring you in
the stomach. Place all the big
bills on the counter and be
quick about it."

Witnesses to the Washington
escape said the getaway car
had Maryland license plates

The process begins when one of four
engraving cameras photographs the original

When the plate is developed and exposed
to chemicals, the unprotected metal-where no
light has struck-is eaten away All that is
left is the darkened area of the picture, which
will pick up ink for printing

HE has never had any vio-
