A T At Randelph, Mass Bound Treasurer, a Woman Clerk and a Customer— Made Haul Valued at $40,- 000 to $50,000. Randolph, Mass., Nov. 17.—The Ran- dolph Savings Bank was raided today by four armed men who bound Treas- urer N. Irving Tolman, a woman clerk and a customer, stripped the vault of Dbonds, cash and valuables estimated al $40,000 o $50.000 and fled in an au- tomobile in which they had come. They left no clue except the automo- bile registry number. The men were of foreign extraction, Treasurer Tol- man said. Depositors are protected against the loss, according to the treasurer. Part of the booty was in Liberty bonds, some of it was in cash. and valuables placed in deposit by customers also were obtained by the men from vari ous drawers of the vault. It was within a few minutes of clos. ing time this afternoon, Mr. Tolman said, when two voung men entered the bank lobby. One asked for a pen and both started to write at a desk The treasurer noticed nothing peculiar about them at the time. Two other men entered the bank a few minutes later just after the last remaining customer had gone. With their appearance, one of the men at the desk vauited the railing and with revolver extended ordered Treasurer Tolman to throw up his hands. Another pinned Miss Frances Howard. a clerk, to the wall, stopping her mouth with his hands and the other two were over the railing and at the vault in a moment. The treas- urer and clerk were bound and sur- geon's tape was pasted over their mouths. While the bandits were at work George Glidden, a customer of the bank, entered and was confronted by o man with a revolver. He, too, was bound and gaggzed and tied with the treasurer. They were thrown to the floor in the rear of the office and cov- ered by coats taken from the walls. Little was said, except to demand the treasurer's keys. The men showed no familiariy with the bank, but went about their work quickly and had cleaned the vault within fifteen min- utes. The leader then ordered one of the | men to stand guard for five minutes anq the other three men left. The niry stayed-a minute or tw | which they had left standing outside the bank door, with the motor rum- ning. The treasurer and his fellow pris- oners attempted to wrench themselves clear of their bonds. but it was sev- eral minutes before Mr. Tolman freed | his hands sufficiently to operate the burgiar alarm.
