Bandit Gunmen Surrender After Brown County Manhunt
Howard and Neil Bowman and Yale Cornell, members of a notorious gang that terrorized Southern Ohio, surrendered after a five hour pursuit from Higginsport to the Ohio River. They were held in Orgetown, Ohio, following a bank robbery at Higginsport netting about 5 000 dollars and a gunfight that wounded bystander Louis Schenck. An airplane joined the search as deputies from two counties and Cincinnati closed in, and the trio dumped twenty thousand dollars in currency during their escape before surrendering.
