Hold-up. A despatch irons Tcl'onto says:- Four men, believed to be Gordon Simp- eon, Thomas >'ryans, Alfred Slade and Arthur Thrown, conviete, whQ made si,nsattnnal escape from the Klugston Penitentiary three weeks ago, staged a hold-up about one o'clock on Thura- day in the Oakwood -St. Clair branch of the ]sank of Nova Scotia, and made good theirescape with between $1,600 and $2,000. • The manager of the bank, Percy Q. Oke, wits temporarily knocked out by a blow on the head and the three other members of the staff were herded into the manager's office while the robbers took possession of the 'teller 'cage. Three of the robbers entered the bank and it is aupposed that the fourth' man, Bryans, remained in charge' of the Overland 'car in which the quar- tette made their. escape, Iespector,of Detectives George' Guthrie stated that. the bank staff had furnished the pollee department with descriptions of the men which tally with those of the es - raped convicts from I{Ingaton, three of whom are well-known to the local police, Within a. few minutes after the police learned of the robbery, all available deteotives and plainclothee- meu were scouring the city hi search of the fleeing robbers. Special officers were despatched to watch the railway stations and all avenues affording an exit from the city. Staged During Luncheon Hour. The held -up was staged during lunch hour at the bank; when the Twits were locked, which accounts for the small amount secured by the robbers. The three Hien were armed. So were members of the stall in the beak, but the latter werecaught unawares by the robbers, who had them covered with their guns before they had a chance to make a move towards the places where rested the revolvers. loaded and ready for nee. Manager Oke was clubbed over the head with a blunt instrument of some kind which the police have reason to' believe was the butt•end ,of a revolver. Mr, Oke recovered 'consciousness before' the trio left the bank, but was carefully guarded by one of the men. The 'entire staff was paraded into the manager's• office and ordered to "keep their mouths closed" or they would be shot down. Powerless to act and without chance of getting outside asslstance, as the telephone wires had been disconnected, the manager and his. staff were obliged to watch the robbers hurriedly empty the cash drawers, Following the entry of the robbers to the bank one customer: ea - peered on the scene to make a de- posit, and he, likewise, was compelled to stand by and do as he was instructed.
