Three men, a driver, mail clerk and guard, were on the truck when a red touring car full of armed and masked men suddenly crowded it to the curb. The resultant blocking of the street stopped a street car and held up sev- eral automobiles, but the bandits worked with such speed and precsion that before onlookers could {nterfere the mail truck and bandit car had vanished around the corner. On the mall truck as it sped toward dark side street were the three postal emploves, helpless before the sawed-off shotguns and pistols of the men who had boarded their machine.
