OCR Text	Show Youth Admits to Using Child as Robbery Shield TACOMA, WASH. A 16-year-old youth has confessed, Police Chief Tom Ross says, that he held up the Puget Sound National bank and escaped es-caped with $5,050, using a five-year-old child as a shield. The youth, Gerald Wayne Barnes, was arrested at the home of his parents, Ross said. The robber picked up little "Sunny" "Sun-ny" Fisher near the bank and held the youngster before him during the holdup. The bandit released the child unharmed un-harmed outside the bank as he fled.
