"Woman Is ever the pawn of man," she. eald. "She acts on lmpulee and without much premeditation, bo it is hardly probable that a woman was implicated la this deliberate affair."

I'ollce searching for her yesterday afttr tho robbery found Miss Lewis living: with her mother on the outskirts of this city. "Every gang works differently, so how should I know how this one did it?" she told police. "I read about it in the papers and only know the circumstances from that." "Do they move money often !n front of the mint? If they do, of course some one could have watched and studied their movements," the said. "This is certain though, A woman always acts upon impulse so I do not think one would be connected with this successful robbery. A woman is always the pawn of a man in sv.ch a case and is eternally dragged in until she pays, pays, pays." "I could hardly be able to 6ay anything about the inside workings of this grang that robbed the federal truck but to my mind it was committed by professionals who had previously made every possible plan for protection against the rifles ofthe numerous guards in the

building." Miss Lewis declared she vai not In touch with any "underwarld" activities and was leading a quiet, simple life hi tht honis ot her mother bore.
