Bank Robbery Shakes Herald Employee in Midtown LOBBY
Herald staffer Mrs. Garner was held up at noon in the lobby of a bank near 53rd Street by two well dressed men. They forced her into a stolen 1959 white Chrysler, then into an empty lot behind a building where they threatened her with rape. After taking $207 in cash and a check they released her. Police investigated as a possible two man confidence job. The suspects are described as tall, dark, Spanish accent, and slender with facial features and distinct suits.
