Lone bandit robs filling station in Greencastle
A tall slender gunman in a long coat looted the Standard Oil filling station at Indiana and Walnut, taking about $124 from manager Norman Peabody. He fled west in an alley, with police unable to trace him after a city-wide search. Peabody was locked in the basement, the gunman warned him to descend, and a possible confederate waited in a car. Police noted the bandit watched the station, hid near the lavatory, and wore a face-covering.
