LIGONIER BANNER, LIGONIER, INDL
BANK ROBBERS STILL AT LABG]% - Continued from page 1 : o'clock. The car was stopped in front of the Dr. Seymore home which is about one hundred and fifty feet, and on' the opposite side of the street, from the bank. Four of the robbers left the car, two Walking on the west side of the street opposite the bank and two on the side the bank is located on. The two mén on the west side crossed the street and entered the bank first. The one that ‘was 'ew{idemly the leader of the gang was| a young man and small in stature. Fred Schwab age 20 years was in the bank alone at the time and was seated at a small desk when the first two robbers entered. S ~ Yegg Utters Oath. The leader stepped to the cashier’s window and flashing a revolver said “Stand still you ————— 'and don’t make a move or I'll end you.” Young Schwab who is to be credited for his quick presence of mind and good judgment did as commanded and in an instant the other robber at the time in the bank, jumped to the writ‘ing desk and climbed over the enclosure into the bank office. He then oge dered Schwab to open the door to the bank office, which he did. By this time the other members of the gang with the exception of the one that remained at the wheel in the machine had entered the bank.
“Open the safe and do it d—— quick,” said the thugs. Schwab ' replied by saying ‘“Don’t shoot, I will do anything yow say.” _ ‘The safe door was” soon opened and Schwab was turned with his face to the wall and held his hands above his “head as; ordered. The ' bandits worked /fast and within a minute or two were ready to leave. . Strikes Cashier. :
Schwab was still standing face to the wall when the yeggs started to leave. On reaching-the door oge of the gang said to another. “You had better fix him before we leave,” and in an instant he returned to Schwab and struck him in the back of the head probably with the butt of a gun. A deep scalp wound was inflicted and Schwab fell to the floor dazed. The blow was struck with terrific force and_ blood was spattered over ithe floor. The young man however was not seriously injured -and he reached the outside of the bank in time’ to>see the bandits leaving in the automobile Interesting stories -of the happenings on the outside of the bank while the robbery was being staged were told by various citizens. The home of Charles Schwab is next door to the bank, and Mrs. Schwab and son Earl were working in the front yard when thegrobbers made their appearance. | Chester . Wierick;, manager of the ‘Mutual Telephone exchange and Mr. Knepper were near the New York Central crossing flag statien and onm seeing the°commotion near the -bank started in that direction. The driveér of the machine flashed the gun at them and ordered them to get into the clear. Mrs. Schwab and the man working at ‘the Schwab home had .come out of the house and the bandit said, “——you, get back in the house and do it d——— quick.” j " As the thugs’ machine turned in front .of the bank the robbers ran out and entered the car and started north. Claude Evans then stepped from the ‘store and opened fire on the car, making an effort to ghoot a tire and frustrate their escape. The'yeggs too opened .fire and fired a number of shots while passing through the street. The back curtain .glass of the machine was shot out. : Wires Hot. '
After the bandits had left the village he citizens rushed from their homes and armed posses were soon formed and started on the trail. The telephone wires were hot with news of the robbery and all nearby towns and cities were ddvised of the holdup. Two automobiles loaded with armed citizens started in pursuit but were unable to overtake the fleeing achine. Within 15 minutes after tl;e robbery had been committed practically every town and city within 4a radius of fify miles had been advised of the holdup and officials were on the lookout for the yeggs. .
Stanley Straus of Ligonier was in the country east of Ligonier shortly after the robbery and stated he saw the fleeing machine pass ' over the highway bridge on route south and it was presumed ‘they were headed in the direction of Cromwell. ; Overlook Booty. ‘
In robbing the wsdfe the robbers passed up $350 in gold and $l,OOO worth of liberty bonds. 'The gold and the bonds had been placed in the bottom of the safe which was not thoroughly searched by the robbers. They opened the cash drawer but did not take \the small change in there.
