Three Unmasked Bandits Rob Guyandotte Bank
Three unmasked bandits robbed the Guyandotte Bank in Huntington West Virginia of about seven thousand dollars this afternoon. They fled in an unknown open car after forcing employees and patrons to lie on the floor and locking the vault. A five year old teller’s son alerted his mother who saw the disturbance, and the bandits left a lookout behind before escaping toward Main Street and Charleston road. Frank Murphy later freed vault prisoners.
