fair In the northeast. When he ar
rived at Foulkrod and Oakland streets
the automobile drew up along thc curb.
Three men got out without any undue
haste, he said, so he had no suspicion
o(. what was to follow.
Two of the men stopped beside him.
nnd the third walked in front of him
and drew a revolver. Ho was ordered
to hold up his ha'nds, and the bandits
went through his pockets, while the men

Neber to stand where he was for ten
minutes, and sped nwa.v. The moment
thej were out of sight Neber notified
the" police of the Frankford station, and
a fast automobile started In search of
the bandits, but no trace of them could
be found.
According to Nebo's description, the
men werp all armed with automatic
pistols, wore gray clothes, and enps.
The next the police benrd of the ban
dits was when Clifford D. Mlllis. of
202.T Poplar street, ran into the Twen
tieth and Buttonwood streets tntlon
and told the sergeant he had been held
up and robbed. He said he had been
walking along at Twentieth nnd Spring

live men, dressed In gray suits, with
caps, drew alongside. The car stopped.
lie said, and three men got out. Two
walked alongside him and the third
shoved an nutomatle pistol In his ribs.
The rest of it was a mere matter ot
form. The robbers went through his
clothes nnd got 20 in cash, a stickpin
with a garnet, and pearl setting, and a
railroad pass. Mlllis was ordered to
stand still for ten minutes. He actually
wnited about ten seconds urn! then inn
to the police station.
Police See Randits
At once a motorcycle set out. with
Patrolmen Gallagher nnd Wright. Pit
trolman Clapper cmnmnndeered an au
tomobile, and the chase started.
The bandits In their automobile were
observed moving slowly up Twentieth
street, the men peering about, appar
ently looking for some one else to rob.
When they heard the noise of the pur
suers the.J looked around, shouted, and
tho touring car started off at top speed,
the patrolmen after It.
They ran along to P.urish, to
Twenty-first, to Glrnrd. nnd out
Girard avenue. Here I he patinimwi
had a clear field, and they opened lire.
The bandits did not reply at first, but
as the patrolmen drew closer they fired
back, and the battle lasted until the
bandits reached Fifty -second street,
They turned north on Fifty -second
street and must havn imidn another
quick turn and doubled, because when
the pnlicif arrived at the crossing they
could not ben or hear their quarry.
