The Strange Theft at the Bank by a Clever Robber
A bank hold up unfolds with a young cashier lured by George H Bell posing as a Chicago investor. Bell compels the cashier to draw and deliver a firm funds check, taking four thousand dollars in currency, then vanishes. Bell is later found dying years later in Virginia City, leaving a confession and a fortune for the victim.
