Robert Stewart Smith, 20, of
RR 4, Brussels, was sentenced
to five years in Kingston Peni-
tentiary Monday for the Jan-
uary 3 armed robbery of the
Bank of Montreal branch at

gun, entered the bank, herded

tomers into a small closet and
escaped with $9,144, .
Crown attorney W. G. Coch-
rane, of Goderich, said Smith
then drove to Kitchener where
he sold his car to a dealer, pur-
chased another car and fled to
the United States.
Police recovered $2,600 in
cash from Smith when he was
arrested in Nashville, Tenn.,
rebruary 6. The amount paid
for the ear has also been re-
covered, leaving a shortage of
about $4,000.
William James Yuill, 23, of
Kitchener, charged with posses-
sion of money stolen in the
same robbery, was remanded to
April 30 on $5,000 cash hail.

nelly, of Goderich, seeking leni-

man an consider the fact that Smith
had no previous reeod.

atedwith police, had a reason-
able degree of intelligence, a
fair education, good family
background and good prospects
for rehabilitation,
Magistrate lVfarshman said he
was taking all these factors into
account in imposing the sen-
tence.
