A mild-looking little man walked into a large midtown bank during tho height of the afternoon rush and patiently waited his turn at the manager’s desk, on which he exhibited a large satchel, and whispered: “I have got a bottle of nitroglycerine up my sleeve and enough dynamite in the bag to blow up the bank. If I don’t get 30,000 dollars, I will do it.” The manager agreed, and pretended to go to the vault to obtain the money, but instead telephoned the police. When detectives rushed __in the dynamiter fainted and the police carried him off to hospital. They found 34 sticks of dynamite and 46 percussion caps in the bag and a bottle of dark liquid which was not explosive.
