Chicago, .Inn. 18. Five youthfu"
bandits held up a United Stntes mal"
truck nt the t'nlon Stntlon here, enrl
today, escaping In uti nutomoblle, wit'
twelve sacks of mall, ten of which con
tained registered mail.
The best Information obtainable indi
cates the tioud.e- contained part of a
Federnl Reserve Bank money shipment
which wns was to have been placed on
n train leaving for St. Paul, Miun., nV
'-PO n. m.
The bandits surprised three posfn
rmplojos guarding the pouches, forcltr
them nt the point of guns back Into th
truck, while the bandit car drew nlonir
side nnd the twelve mall bags werr
transferred lo It. The robbery was nc
comnllshed In a few minutes.
The regular mall was composed solely
of city collections, (hp. police sny. The
registered mall hags were suppnseti to
contain currency nnd bonds whose vnlue
cannot be estimated yet.
One of the postal employes snid that
only n few minutes after they hnd ar
rived nt the station with their truck
tlio bandit car dashed up. The police
believe the robbery was nn Inside job.
as the bandits seemed to have knnwl
e.'oe of the bank shipment, as well as the
time the truck would arrive nnd the
number of men guarding it.
Robbers Wero Boys
Thomas Carter. Richard 1. Bllney
and Phi'ip Cnhill, postal omplojos,
.uid Ihe five men. none of whom ap
peared to lie more than twenty years
old. nil wore black masks nnd carried
out the robbery In such n short time
that the attention of a watchman nnd
a railroad mnil foreman working nearby
was not attracted until the robbers were
speeding away In their motorcar with
the twelve pouches.
Postal authorities, whi'e unable to
estimate the amount of the loot, said
the ililpments to the Northwest, which
usually go out on the 2.30 n. nf. mall
'rain average about $100,000 in value.
They expressed belief, however, thnt
the bandits had obtained little of vnlue
because of the fact that Tiie-day's ship
ments nre smaller than those on other
ays of the week.
"Tuesday morning shipments arc
always light," said A. E. Germcr, net
ng chief postal inspector. "Of course
there nre a great iniiiiv legistered papers
anil other documents, but not much
that could be negotiated into money."
A week may elapse before an nccur
'ife figure covering the loss can be
known, according to the postal inspec

The trio faced seven postal and rail

of the mail handlers to remain on the
sidewalk to nvert suspicion nnd sent
the other men into tlio truclt to sepit-
ir.te the registered sucks from thge .e-t.
