Northwest bank robberies tied to same Northwest killer

A masked youth robbed Farmers & Merchants Bank Centralia and staged hold ups at Royal Bank Vancouver Grandview Bank Vancouver and Bank of Commerce Everett between December 6 and 18. Pinkerton detective Parl Robinson links the robber to the murder of Lawrence Bar and a string of December heists. The bandit, claiming intent to confess, spoke of a gun bought with dealer records and described a calm, educated demeanor. Police authorities pursue a full confession and tie to the October–November Northwest crimes.

Identity hunt grows as Pinkerton man probes bank bandit

County officials and Pinkerton detective Paul P. Robinson pursue clues from an engraved watch found on the suspect’s overcoat. The watch bears the name Ernest Ribblett, with reports placing a Ribblett family near Cent between Centralia and Kopiah. Investigators note a possible link to a Ribblett family with four boys and two girls, one boy named Ernest, aged twenty to twenty three. The inquiry tracks a departure of the family about two years ago and includes Ribblett sightings near Cent and New York relatives. Meanwhile, accounts corroborate the bank incident details from the eve inquest. Witnesses recall two men seen running west on Main and Pine streets just before the tragedy. Three suspicious men loitering near the E R Zimmer hardware store entrance prompted Miss Clara Knecht to draw a revolver. they were later said to be awaiting a telegraph clerk. Roy Ryan observed the trio, who fled along an alley toward Sonnyveld cigar shop. Attorney J. Jahnke notes two men visited his office that afternoon, eyeing a potential banking theft. The bank layout is described with paths to cashier, tellers, and the bank lobby. The report ends noting the windowed area’s details and a page four reference.
