NEW YORK UP) The police
Statesman, Salem, Oregon. Friday, April 8, 195MSc. l)-3
75) ' :
and FBI checked clues Thursday
pointing to "an inside job" in the
biggest bank robbery in U.S. his
tory executed with the s.apie cool
"v wizardry of the notoriuos Willie
"The Actor" Sutton. , : ,
Three folksy robbers, and may-;
be more, escaped with 1303,243
.' from the Woodside. Queens, branch
of the Chase Manhattan Bank
Wednesday. '
Armed with a submachinegun'!
the robbers kidnaped a clerk" near
his borne, called him by -his first
name, waited for three more per
sons including' two; women
and forced their way into the un
guarded, alarmless bank building.
After locking 11 persons in the
bank vault, the methodical bandits j
disappeared into a morning sub-:
way crowd. I
WeH Planned Job j
The display of quietly efficient
skill was reminiscent of the'tech-
nique of Sutton, generally acknow-;
ledged as one of the most cunning
modern bank robbers.
Sutton, now serving 30 years in
Attica State Prison, N. Y., estim
ated in his autobiography written
i In prison that he had stolen more
; than 2-million dollars from banks ;
i and other companies during his 20-:
year "career." ;
r ' The robbery Wednesday was
the sixth bank stickup iii the New ;
York metropolitan area in 30 days, j
The "master job" which one rob- j
: ber confided to a victim was the
! result of six months casing, began
i when Clerk Henry " Bardenhagen
i was getting into his car at his
home in Sunnyside, . Queens. .
: Bandits Knew Xanes
Jabbing someiwng in, Barden
: hagen's backfone of the robbers
said pleasantly, "Okay Henry, get
in the back- Two other robbers
then got in the front seat of the
: car.
At the bank after a leisurely
drive, the gunman sighted M.
William Downing, of Valley
Stream with Mrs. Eleanor Mino
gue, a real estate company em
ploye. A gunman ordered, "get out
or I'll blow your brains out"
and Downing and Mrs. Minogue
got out ! of the car. .
A fourth employe, Mrs. Dorothy
Haas, a secretary, of Woodside,
came along.- "Why, there's
Dorothy," said one of the robbers.
With their prisoners the robbers
then unlocked the bank door with
Bardenhagen's key. Inside were
six other employes. And in plain
view was than $300,000 in bills
ranging in denomination from $1
to $100.
The loot was dumped into a 2-by-3-foot
white canvas bag bear
ing the imprint, "Federal Reserve
Bank." They fled in a light blue
convertible. The whole job took
less than eight minutes.
