.ARMED BANDITS HOLD UP
ROAD HOUSE DINERS
NEAR DETROIT
Detroit, Mich., Dec. SO—Nine armed
bandits, who are said to have Invaded
an outlying roadhouse early yesterday
morning, held up the diners, rohbed a
small safe and escaped with cash and
Jewelry said to total approximately
928,000, are being sought by county
■and city authorities today, although no
official report of the holdup and rob
bery has been made.
Despite reports that between fifty
and sixty gOests were at the . road
house when the hold-up occurred, au
thorities 'late yesterda^ were having
difficulty in learning what took place.
The story in which they place the
greatest credence is that the nine men
drove up to the roadhouse in three
tomoblles. Eight of the bandits are
said to have entered the roadhouse,
the ninth remaining outside, cutting
the telephone wires and tampering
with the ignition systems of all the
automobiles in the yard.
When the eight had seated them
selves and ordered a meal, one of
them walked over to a piano player
and said:
“Let somebody, play tlat can play."
The bandit then began playing and
when the guests had centered upon
him, his companions flashed revolvers
and ordered “hands hp.**
After robbing the ’ guests and a
small safe belonging to the proprietor
of the roadhouse known only as “Kid’
Harris, the bandits escaped in their
three automobiles. Pursuit was balk
ed when the ignition systems on the
remaining machines failed to operate.
