When the men got to within seven miles of Columbia City, they filled the stolen car with gasoline and oil and left it parked along a main highway. They then got into Siniff's car and went on to Fort Wayne. Pennville Bank Robbed After the Howe robbery, there appeared to be some fear in the gang.

on March 14, 1929. was done by Siniff and Chamberlin. A total of $2.100 was secured in this robbery. During March, 1929. the two, Siniff and Chamberlin, also participated in two filling station robberies. They held up and robbed the Standard Oil station at Berne on March 9 and en or about March 1, 1929, they robbed a Shell station at Plymouth. They secured S2O from the Bertie station and about S4O from the Plymouth job. Seven Robberies Net $12,550 The seven bank robberies netted the gang about $12,550. All of the automobiles stolen by the men were returned near the scene of the theft with the exception of the Nash sedan used on the last job. Many of the tricks and traits of bank robbery were disclosed by the men in their three hours of talking and they warned local officials that it. would be much safer to trail, rather than try to catch up with bank bandits. All four men say that they have never fired a shot in any of the robberies, but they admit that they might have done so. if cornered. Consider Berne Bank Chamberlin stated that he and Siniff did most of the “road work." deciding on the best roads and scouting around for the best banks to rob. He said that they had considered several other northern Indiana banks, among which were one of the Berne banks, the Rochester National bank and several others. He stated that they had never tried a theatre holdup, hut had talked of it some. The filling station robberies were done while the men were out "trying out” roads. 500 Visit Jail Sunday That the men are popular in their own communities was evidenced by the fact that jnore than 500 people forniall parts of the state came to the Adams county jail to visit witli the men Sunday. Many were sight-seers, but most of the visitors knew the men. It was learned today that besides the $650 of the loot recovered at Fort Wayne, some other money had been recovered. This story was not confirmed, however, by officials. Gaither's father and grandmother came to Decatur yesterday from southern Indiana and had a talk with him. They chatted back and forth for some time and expressed their sorrow that he had participated in the robberies. Other visitor's included members of Chamberlin’s family and also relatives and friends of Siniff
