Bandits Rob Bank at Perry of $4,000 in Morning Holdup
Gunmen Escape by Forcing Cashier to Accompany Them as a Shield Against Shots
Three men today hold up and robbed the bank at Perry, 12 miles west of Lawrence, of approximately $4.000. The men were armed with pistols and a mask.
Their escape was effected when the bandits threatened to kill A. C. Elswick, cashier, unless vigilantes agreed to capture him and save wife were the only persons in the bank at the time of the robbery. Mrs. Elswick was tied and placed in the back of the bank, and her husband was taken to court in an armed ward off the gunfire of the vigilants.
The vigilantes committee was called by V. E. Rainey, president of the bank, who surprised the robbers as they were looting the bank vault. The committee composed of merchants took position in the street covering with their rifles the entrance to the bank, but the officers refused to take tape because the bandits forced Elswick to bargain for his life with the committee.
Elswick was taken with the bandits as they made their escape, but was released about a block and a half from the bank. The kidnapping of Elswick is impossible for the vigilantes to fire at the bandits as they sped down the road.
They were headed for Topeka when they left Perry, but it is believed that they might have back-tracked and gone towards Kansas City.
