Would-Be Bank Robber Flops in Two Tries
In Pittsburgh a would-be robber wearing a red tassel cap and black jacket attempted two bank holdups within eight minutes. He first entered Mellon Bank, gave the teller an empty bag and asked to be filled. After the teller ignored him he fled. At Western Pennsylvania National Bank in Brookline he again brandished a weapon but remained empty-handed, as Grace Ferney shouted and ducked to the floor.
