Texas bankers propose rewards for dead bank robbers in Texas
The Texas Bankers association proposes a standing reward for each robber killed in bank heists, aiming to deter robberies after the First State bank of Banks was robbed for 9,000 dollars. Secretary William A. Philpott Jr says rewards may total up to 8,000 dollars, with members contributing 5 dollars each. The policy targets robbers as cowards, hoping a price on their heads reduces future crimes. Banks report over a dozen robberies in two months, averaging 1,400 dollars each, with attacks about every two days recently.
