CRIME IN AMERICA
NEW YORK BANDITS BANK CAR ROBBED.' Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright. NEW YORK, -December 12. The First National Bank’s armoured car failed to hold money against ten determined bandits, who decamped with £20,000. Just after daylight the pay-roll truck entered Hudson street, which was deserted except for a milk wagon. Two bandit cars came from the rear and waited until the milkman had returned from the delivery of an order. The bandits then confronted tho milkman with guns and warned him to stand still iu silence. Then the bandit cars sped forward and whirled in ahead of tho truck, forcing it to the kerb and wounded the driver, who collapsed in his scat. Then, .attacking tho rear door, they machine-drilled a hole large enough for a bandit to insert Ins arm and unlatch the lock. The residents were just beginning to take notice of the shooting when the robbers decamped.—United Service.
