One man was on duty. I pushed a gun at him and took all the money I could put in my pockets. Then 1 ran from the bank, jumped in the car and drove down the Lincoln highway.” Shortly before reaching aegen- burg, in Franklin County, he said he saw a State policeman following, and had fired his pistol ahead of the pur- suing machine in an effort to frighten the trooper. The policeman rcfused to slow up, and when he pulled along- side the fugitive's machine in Graef- fenburg, Hartman said he saw he was cornered and had fired at the officer. Later his wutomobile became stuck in the mountains and when he found ha could not move it he said he had poured gasoline over the car and tried to burn it. After abandoning his car, Hartman said he walked to Mount Holly Springs, where he boarded a train for Harrisburg. From there he came to Reading.

J*, Stambaugh, the cashier, to hand over all the cash in the drawer, amounting to between $1.200 and $1,500. He then commanded the cashier to go into the vault, rushed from the place, jumped into his motor car and sped away. State police were notified and men were sent to patrol all the roads in the vicinity, but nothing further was heard of the bandit until late in the afternoon, when the report of the shooting of Haley was received. The next day his car, partly consumed by fire, was found wedged between stones in the mountains near Cham- bersburg. The New York license plates were on the ground nearby. A few hours before he surrendered State officials at Harrisburg learned the license was issued to Hartman. i ZR-3 Man Assigned. Maj. Frank M. Kennedy, Army Air Service, at Lakehurst, N.
