Bandits Rob Bank Express At Forest Lawn In Broad Daylight
Six masked men halted the New Orleans express on the Mobile and Ohio line at Forest Lawn eight miles north of town, taking about $10,000 in cash and valuables. They burst the door, bound messenger Branford, and forced the safe open as passengers fled in panic. The robbers fired on train crews during their escape, wielding Winchesters and revolvers before vanishing into the swampy nearby terrain. Local pursuit followed with reports tying one suspect, Brooks Storey, to prior captures and a possible $8,000 sewn into a coat lining rumor.
