HOHL KILI EI) BV BILLETS KKOM BLUEt'OATS' UUNS (Special to the Star-Independent.) Cincinnati, Ohio, Dc. 18.—The life of Frank G. Hohl, notorious automobile bandit, a native of tHarrijburg, Pa., who was shot to death by the police here yesterday afternoon, ended after a three hours' career of crime which in cluded the robbing of two Cincinnati banks, the theft of an automobile and a pistol duel with policemen that re sulted with fatal wounds to one bVuecoat and the death of the ban dit. Thirteen t'housand and one hun dred dollars are missing as the result of the baaik robberies, and the poliee are confident that Hohl, in his wild auto drives, managed to pass this money along to some confederate. The beginning of Hohl's end started shortly after 10 a. m., when be entered the West End branch of the Provident rtavings Bank anil Trust Company, at Eighth and Freeman avenues, fired two shots at I ashler Edward Hugbea, scoop ed up SB,OOO in currency, backed through the door, jumped into a wait ing automobile, wbkh had been stolen, and disappeared. Cashier Hughes fired after the robber, but his shots 'did not take effect. While the police were searching for the bandit, more than an hour after, he entered the Liberty Banking and Sav ings Company bank, at liberty and Freeman avenues, ten blocks awav, fired two shots at Cashier George Winters, seized what proved to be |5,100 in cur rency, ran to his automobile and again disappeared. The shots were so close to Winters that he was powder iburned, •but, other than suffering from the Shock, he was uninjured. Auto Hits Telegraph Pole Twelve persons were in the banks at the time tlhe robberies were com mitted, tout the promiscuous use of the 'bandit's revolver held them in check. When 'he entered the 'West End branch of the Provident, lie scaled an eight foot screen into the office, and, without warning, fired at Cashier Edward Hughes. He then seized $2,000 in cur rency lying on the 'cashier's desk, rush ed to a table neartby, tvihere $6,000 more was stacked, stuffed this into his pockets and slowly 'backed to the door. Somewhat similar tactics were employed at the other bank. Almost two 'hours lalter Harry Bucks horn, whose mother conducts an apart ment house on West Ninth street, in formed the police of the similarity of a man who rented a room there yester day to a description given of the ban dit. Three policemen called at the room, and, knocking, the door was sud denly thrown open and tlhe bandit open ed fire, at the same time brushing padt ♦"he officers, one of whom, Policeman Kd wartt Knaul, probably was fatally wounded. He again ran to his automobile which was standing at a nearby corner, and tried again to make good 'his escape, but in rounding a corner the machine crashed into a telegraph pole and was wrecked. The bandit .jumped out and opened fire on the other two oflieers who had pursued him. In the battie that followed Hobl fell with four bullet wounds in his body and died shortly afterwards in a hospital. Identified as Harrisburger Hohl was identified oy Cashier 'Hughes, of the Provident bank, as the man who had rolbbed his bank and later a comparison of a photograph by Frank 0. Hohl, the automobile bandit, of Harrifdmrg, who shot up an Altoona. Pa., bank on.iMareh 23, with the dead man, convinced tbe police that they wore the same. Hobl was arrested in Pittsburgh y fallowing his Altoona escapade, bnP while 'being conveyed to jail threw a cup of coffee in his guard's face and escaped. He again was captured, but subse quently escaped from the Hollidaysburg, Pa., jail by greasing his body with soap and squeezing through a narrow window. The police aiso Claim that ho was wanted in connection with a dia mond Jobbery in Kansas City a year ago, wiheTe he had assumed the name of iHowe. HUTCHISON GAYE TIP LEADING TO ARREST OF HOHL IN LAST APRIL Continued Prom First I'age. in the Huntingdon reformatory, where he WAS sent for larceny and burglary from Harrisburg. The Home of the Ormsby Girl The Altoona police department locat ed the home of the Ivy Ormsby on the outskirts of Salem, 0., and through the girl's father, who is a honest farmer, Hohl's arrest was made. The father promised Chief Tillard, who personally interviewed him at his home, that ho would do all in his power to aid in Hohl's arrest, and early on Sunday morning, April 4, Hohl* and. the Orms by girl appeared at the latter's home. Hohl wanted to send a telegram out of Salem and one of the girl's broth ers accompanied him to the railway station. While he was there word was sent to the Chief of Police of Salem, who stood inside the station door, and When Hohl appeared the chief pushed two revolvers against Hohl and thus was the arrest of the bandit accom plished. Hohl announced that he would return to Altoona without extradition papers, believing that he could make his get away en route, and this he tried to do in Pittsburgh. Inspector Turney was taking him back. - In the Pittsburgh station restaurant Turney took off the handcuffs to permit the prisoner to eat and Hohl, taking advantage of that, threw a cup of coffee in the inspector's face and made a dash for the door, but he was collared by a waiter. Escapes Hollidaysburg Jail Hohl made a great play in Altoona, confessing to the robbery and permit ted himself to be "mugged." He was committed to the Blair county jail in j Hollidaysburg from where he made a sensational escape on Aprilj.2. Hchl removed his clothing and slipped through a window eight feet above the floor of the cell after greasing the bars with soap and butter. The opening through which Hohl es caped was slightly more than seven inches wide and eighteen inches long. He drew himself to the roof from the cell window and then lowered himself to the ground by means of a rope made from the covering of the cell mattress. He then scribbled a derisive note on the office door of the prosecuting attorney and disappeared. It was also from Harrisburg that word of the direction he took in fleeing from Wolliilay-Jburg was obtained by phe Altoona authorities. Hohl wrote a letter from Gallitzen to Harrisburg and former f'ity 'Detective Jack Welsh so I informed the police. This tip, however, | did not lead to any further arrest. Took Ormsby Girl From Salem Hohl s next escapade was 'his appear l ance in Salem, 0., in a big automobile jin which he took away the Ormsby girl, from under the nose of the Salem police. In the meantime a robbery in Kansas City, similar to the Union bank robbery in Altoona, was laid to Hrflil 'and his name was associated with the robbery of t'he 'Homestead bank, on Au gust 17, in which the thief escaped with $9,000. With the police authori ties of four cities after liitn he went to Cincinnati and pulled off two more dar ing robberies yesterday and there his career was ended by the (bullets of the i police. Hohl's accomplice in the Homestead looting .was alleged to 'be a man by the name of Kauffman, w'ho is now under arrest there. There is a question as to who the Cincinnati accomplice was. The Harrisburg |>oliee, who have 'had every possible route to Hohl's relatives "cov ered" since the robbery, are aiding the Cincinnati police in trying to get back the stolen $13,100. r Tried to Shoot Detective Welsh /Hohl's early life, the police say, was that of a young gangster and his ac tions were those of a "Wild West" iran. He was a member of two gangs, the first 'being the "Tin Can Alley" gang. After a succession of clothing store robberies, City Detective Welsh, Sergeant Wiles and Patrolman Hteimer surrounded a house at 60S Sayford street and made an arrest of a number of youths, of whom Hohl was one. Hchl was cornered at the top of a stair way and when Detoctive Welsh was going up the steps Hohl leveled a re volver at him and pulled the trigger, but no explosion followed. Ule was ar rested later on the roof of that dwell ing. On .Tanuaiw 10, 1906, Hohl was sent to the Huntingdon reformatory for burglary ami larceny and wns later re leased on parole. He was next asso ciated with a gang of river pirates. Hchl ami some associates, operating a niftorboat in the river, were caught robbing freight cars at Leinoyne. Their plunder was buried on an island in the river. The railroad police, aided by fhe Harrisburg police department, ar rested Hohl, ami Judge Hadler, in Cutn beland county court, sentenced Itini to from one to four years in the F.astern penitentiary. That Was on November 11, 1 SOD. After serving a year, Hohl was pa rolled and lie came back to Harrisburg and worked as a mechanic for tiho Ford Alotor Hales Compa'ny. The police were tolerant and did not send him back to the penitentiary, although time after time, they say, Ije was found disobey ing the .State automobile laws.
