Show DARING DAYLIGHT BANK ROBBERY AT SALT LAKE Salt Lake Bank Robbed of $1,600 by Bold Bandit. 'In the glare of broad daylight, and during the hour when many pedestrians pedes-trians were passing In all directions, a nervy robber entered the Sugar Banking company's bank at Salt Lake, Monday, foroed the cashier and bookkeeper into a large vault, grabbed grab-bed about $1,600 in currency and made good his escape. Before leaving leav-ing the scene he closed the door of the vault and turned the handle controlling con-trolling the bolts, but did not wait to turn the combination. Two posses from the sheriff's office, together with detectives from the police po-lice department, began an immediate hunt for the robber. Had the robber been playing a part In a wild and woolly west "movie" he could not have acted with more precision pre-cision and coolness. Thrusting an ugly-looking gun Into the fac-es of the two men, he ordered them to turn their backs upon him and enter the vault. His manner left no room for argument. George . Goff cashier, and Clifford I. Goff, his brother, who is acting as temporary bookkeeper In the institution, obeyed orders. In all, the men were prisoners In the vault about twenty minutes. Two or three customers entered the bank during this period, waited for a while and went out, assuming that the attendants at-tendants had stepped from the bank for the moment and would be back. |
