C & S Bank Guard Killed By Bandit In Atlanta Holdup This Is The Fourteenth Bank Robbery, Five of Them C & S Banks, In Ga. During Year ATLANTA—An armed bandit held up a Citizens & Southern branch bank Tuesday, fatally shot a guard in making his getaway and escap ed with $20,810. The man fled in a stolen pickup truck which was found abandoned about two blocks from the scene of^ the holdup at the Howell Mill Rpad branch. Police and FBI agents quickly began an intensive seach. The guard was Morris A. Strick land, a Pinkerton detective who watched the holdup and following a bank directive, attempted to ap- prehentd the gunman after he stepped from the bank. Bank Manager William L. Ma this said the gunman entered the bank shortly before the 2 p. m. closing time, walked to Mathis' desk and with gun drawn handed Mathis a blue bag, telling him to “fill it up.” Mathis said he went to the tellers cages and filled the sack with money handing it to the bandit. The man was described as being about 5 feet 8, weighing about 165 pounds, with dark hair, dark com plexion and in need of a shave, Bank employees said he was shab bily dressed. Mathis said Strickland had been told of the robbery in progress by another bank employe, E. D. Dut ton. He said the guard followed a bank policy against shooting in side the building because of the number of people inside, including customers and employes. The detective stepped in front of the bandit at the doorway, his pistol still in its holster, Mathis said When the gunman drew his weapon the two men moved out side where they exchanged shots, the manager added. This was the 14th holdup of a bank or a savings and loan asso ciation—five of them C & S banks— in the state this year.
