BANDITS CARRY ST. LOUIS MAN IN AUTO 1 MILES Driven to City in Own Car After Being Robbed, He Tells Police, "Riding 290 miles at th*s point of a revolver in my own automobile, robbed of my money, is something I never experienced before and something I don’t care for in the future,” said B. B. Dew. 1817 Locust St, St. Louis, Mo., at police headquarters today. His story of a held up that took place in East St. Lcuis, 111.,, at 2 p. m. Friday and ended at Memorial Park cemetery, east of the city, about 3 a, m. today, when he was ordered out of the car five miles east of the city on the National road, reads like fiction. The man, about 30, well dressed and clean-cut, speaking fine English, accompanied by a cleverly dressed woman, entered the salesrooms ol the ruto company for which Dew works In St. Louis and looked over the best fiiodel car. . Demonstration Arranged A demonstration was arranged for the afternoon. Two suitcases were to be delivered to East St. Louis where the balance of the money for the car was to be obtained. Once in East St. Louis Dew said he attempted to turn back but was ordered, at the point of a gun, to proceed. "You have your game,” said the robber, "and we have ours. This time we win and you lose.” "A short distance down the road,” sa’d DeW the man ordered me to turn off the road and I did. When he said ‘Stop,’ I was ordered out of the car. I was ordered to place my hands over my head, and a pair of hand* cuffs were placed on them. My pockets were rifled of sl4. My watch was not taken when I told them it was a present from my wife. A diamond pin was overlooked because. When I put up my hands, my coat covered it. Woman Holds Gun "I was ordered to sit beside the man, and the woman in the rear seat held a large revolver on me. The bandit drove. Several times we stopped for gas. The man cover me and the woman would supervise the purchase of gas and oil and pay for it with my money. At Vandalia, 111., we turned down a side street and the woman got out and returned with some sandwiches and coffee. "At each stop she was told to be ready to leave quickly, the man always figuring that some way might have been found to discover me missing,” said Dew. "When we passed through here after midnight we stopped at a filling Station and two policemen passed the car. I was afraid to move. The man said once when he left St. Louis that any move out of me would ‘finish me.’ When we reached the spot near where I was found the man stopped, erdered me out of the car and gave to the woman a key to unlock the cuffs. They then proceeded.” Dew Is Picked Up Hugh Barnes, 3704 N. Pennsylvania St., employed at the Spink-Arms Apartment garage, picked Dew up and brought him to police headquarters. IlPsaid he remembered passing the car near Knightstown, Ind. Dew said the mail called his supposed wife "May” and she impressed him as a "dope lser ” The man frequently mentioned tnat the St. Louis police knew him as Al, and that he and other members of a gang robbed a bank in St. Louis Friday. No reports of a robbery have reached here. Dew. after eating a lunch with Capt. Frank Row. awaited money to return to St. Louis.
