Tacoma, Wash., Dec. IS U.B
The next time you know ol
little boy who plays hookey
from school, you can tell him
what happened to live-year-old
Sonny Fisher who decided to
accept an Ice cream cone from a
nice-looking man instead of go
ing to kindergarten and got
used aa a decoy, in a 15000 bank
robbery. I
Sonny got hla ice cream, cone
chocolate but he had to
spend two hours in police sta
tion yesterday answering all
kinds of questions while waiting
for his mother to come and get
him. The thief, Gerald Barnes,
18, got his $5000 but had to re
linquish it to the FBI when they
caught him six hours later.
It happened like this:
As Sonny was walking to
school, dreaming of riding on
the "bumpety-bumps" at the
playground, a man in a dark
suit approached him and said,
"You don't have to go to school
this afternoon. Come with me
and I'll buy you cn Ice cream
cone."
The man bought Sonny the
cone and took him for a ride
on two city buses until the pair
arrived at the Puget Sound Na
tional bank. Going into the bank,
they approached the cashier's
cage where the man slipped a
note to the cashier which said,
"Unless you give me $5,000, I'll
kill you and the littlo boy and
the little boy Is not mine."
Mrs. Shanon Mitchell, the
eashier, shoved some tens and
twenties at the man and the pair
left the bank. When they saw
policeman standing on the cor
ner. Sonny's new friend dashed
toward the waterfront. Sonny,
alone on i crowded downtown
street, began to cry.
One of the Fishers' neighbors
found the boy and notified the
Jioliceman who meanwhile had
earned of the robbery.

doctor left Denver today for six
days, but before leaving be left
a not of good cheer for the 3-year-old
boy who will live to see
another . Christmas the real
thing because of an operation
he underwent last week.
The doctor said that "Nub
bins"' could return to bis Chey
enne, Wyo., home the latter part
of this week if his condition
continues to Improve daily as it
has sine the operation last
Thursday.
It was at the Cheyenne home
of his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Mar
shall H. Hoffman, that a pre
dated Christmas was given
"Nubbins" after a doctor had
said that death was only a mat
ter of time because of a congen
ital bladder condition which

daily. Through pushing the cal
endar ahead, the lad's parents
brought him national attention,
plus the Interest of a Denver spe
cialist. At the request of the special
ist, "Nubbins" was brought to
Denver and examined. It was de
termined then that an operation
might do the trick, which appar
ently did. He has improved daily

observed Nov. 19, and sympa
thisers throughout the nation
sent gifts and other tokens,
while at Fort Wayne, Ind., the
