Hie men, Carl ?.

Torrence K. Hemby, vice president the bank, said the institution was fully protected from loss through hold-up and robbery insurance umounting to $125,000. 1 he truck was parked in front of an express office, Ix>roy Stanton said, With the latter in the office and Bailey standing guard over the* truck. Bailey said a .stronger approached him and asked for a match. When he reached into hi# pocket to comply with his request, he sjiid', another man stepped up and both leveled automatic pistols at his ribs. One of the men, he said, took his pistol from its holster. The men ordered him to keep quiet or they would "blow his brains out," Bailey said, und asked how much was in the truck. Bailey said he told them it had all been unloaded in the express office but the ruse did not work. Bailey said he was then ordered to take the wheel of the truck, and while one man guarded him, the other pushed his wuy into the small doorway to the strong box of the truck and held a pistol on the back of his head. When Stanton came out of the express office, Bailey said, the man on the curb informed him hetjwas "going to ride" with them. Stanton pushed the man aside, Bailey said, but he then warned his fellow employe they both were being covered by the man in the truck's strong box, Bailey said he was forced to drive the truck to the outskirts of the city, where he and Stanton were tied and shoved into the small strong box in the truck. The robbers took flight, Bailey said, before he and Stanton could unloose their bonds, but while they were* working with the knots-; inside the closed compartment, they did not hear an automobile pass nor could they say how the men made their getaway.
