DAYLIGHT HOLDUP | VIELDS $104:300 (Continued from First Page) there were but they st the num- ber at seven or eight. The city policeman, Patrick O'Keefe, wus taken to a hospital with Kautter suffcring trom lacera- tions caused Py pleces of the wind- shield. Kautter was said in later re- ports to have been shot through both arms as he raised them before the guns of the robbers. Bank's Loss There were four bags of money n the car. Vice President Charles A. Valentine of the First National | bank told police the exact amount was $104,500, part of which he said was for the Smith Carpet company | and part for the Nitional Sugar Re- fining company. As the money was on its way to the bank and had not vet been turned over to the com- panies which wanted it for their| payrolls ita robbery is the bank's losa, The robbers were in position at the strect intersection as the col- ' lecllan car approached. A milk wagon was coming along in the op- posite direction and they halted this, telling the driver to pull up to the curb and wait, lest it should et in their ‘way during the im- pending struggle. Comes Abruptly Patrolman O'Keefe and the chauf- feur were riding on the front seat of the collection car and Kautter was locked up inside with the mon- ey. The shooting began so abruptly that neither the policeman nor the guards had any chance to use their pistols. Witnesses said the robbers had pistols and a repeating rifle and one woman, ning from a window above the holdup, said there was a | | machine gun in play. It was generally believed, how ever, that the impression there was a machine gun was given by the noise of a pneumatic drill the rob- bers were evidently equipped with. After subduing O'Keefe and the driver they drilled a hole in the thin steel doors at the rear of the | wagon to enable them to reach m‘» and unfasten the doors. Change Cars The robbers had apparently not | expected to find Kautter inside and him through both arms.
