More than 600,000 men and women have and turn into the Boulevard where the bank is situated, exactly at the tiine that the robbery took place, Three women and two children saw him pass up the street two minutes luter, and -thirty seconds after that, lie crosaed the street and entered Bulley's grocery stores, The clerk who served him with some marma- ‘ade, tea and bacon, saw him' climb up into the Ford and drive away, The man was known at the shop as Ralph Roberson There is mo doubt that it was his car, "Half an hour after the robbery, Roberson was arrested at his houge— he was cleaning the car at the time ~—and although he had changed his clothes, the light gray suit which he had recently worn was discovered In Lis bedroom, and the Panama hat, warm with perspiration, in a cup- board, His excuse for changing his clothes was that he put on older things in which te clean the car, and his account of his morning was that he had driven straight up to Dailey's stores for some groceries and straight back again, Two witnesses are romly‘ to swear that they saw him get out of the Ford and go toward the bank; the groecry clerk, who served him, 1s absolutely certain that he was in the shop within thirty seconds of the Ford's pulling up outside, and that when he left he drove straight away." “What sort of man is this Rober- scn?” 1 asked, “A man or vad character,”” was the “He was once a book- maker, but failed, He has been in prison for obtaining goods by false pretenses, and there are half a dozen summonses for debt out against him at the present moment, The only lLittle money he earns, nowadays, seems to be by acting as- a book- maker’'s tout, He knew the neigh- borhood well, and has once been heard to remark upon the isolated position of the bank.
