BANK ROBBERY 1-1-1-1-1-1-1
SOUND ON FILM COMING
Tf/ /NA
A nervous bandit electrifies the East Texas town of Hawkins with a daring, 10-minute raid on the First State Bank. The city of less than a thousand persons lies North of Tyler.# The bandit took time to put four people in the vault and tie up three others before leaving with more than 16-thousand dollars. The robber is believed to have escaped in a dark-colored car driven by a male accomplice. The little town of Hawkins seldom has excitement. Not a single witness outside the bank saw the getaway.
TWO WOMEN
Cashiers Mrs. Ellen Hamilton and Mrs. Molly Busby were the only persons in the bank at the 11 beginning. They say it was shortly before o'clock when the bandit, looking nervous, walked through the door.
