Venus Bank Robbery Sparks Narrow Escape In Vault
Two would‑be robbers entered the Farmers National bank in Venus Texas about 1 am and forced J K Chambers a 6 year old inside a vault. They looted loose currency totaling $800 from the bank while failing to enter the Citizens vault where only $100 was available. A watchman was knocked unconscious and later recovered to raise the alarm as the pair fled toward Dallas. The men left Chambers in the vault and took flight. Venus lies about twenty miles east of Cleburne.
