A Dumb Bandit:— No doubt many people pictured • different type of person as the bandit who brasenly held up the First Bank of Berne last May 29 and made way with more than >12.600. Many imagined he was a sort of "city slicker”, or a hoodlum from a gaag of thieves and robbers that hide out in our large cities and live the Ute of the underworld. Except for a previous arrest and convietion for armed robbery in Oregon in 1945, Richard EHiS Clark, the bandit who took his time in robbing a bank, is not a big city gangster. He could be considered a Berne neighbor. He was employed as a woodworker in a Celina, Ohio, furniture factory. In this peaceful pursuit he could have been employed in one of the Berne furniture factories. Probably bis fellow workers gave no thought that he was the type who secretly planned a stickup of A hank. Like any employe he would have friends and would be known to a number of people. And why did he rob a bank! It seems that he was hard pressed for money. He was in debt for bis home and being the father of three children had the usual household running expenses. Os course, all these obligations did - not give him the right to commit a hold-up. If all men harassed with the cost of living and financing of• a home resorted to the gun, our prisons would have to be multiplied and expanded as government projects. In our opinion Bandit Clark was dumb to think-that he could get away with his crime. He was dumb in letting- his,JJhlP license tag show on his car. "X” really marked the spot for him, ter Berne people saw the letter and officers were able to trace its owner, in fact any man who steals or robs is stupid. Indiana and Ohio law enforcement officers, state, county and city, performed well in apprehending th* bank bandit. Sgt. Friday of Dragnet fame never got his man any quicker.
