Train No 6 carried an expected 600000 en route to the First National Bank of Tipton when four men were seen near the Adams express transfer at Panhandle station. Local police and one guard were kept on site as the money was moved, thwarting what authorities called a major hold up planned to repay a bank embezzlement. The transfer point has a history of attempted robberies, and the near miss would have been one of Indiana’s largest if successful.
