PAY-ROLL ROBBERY
BANDITS IN SUBWAY CAR. (United Press Assn.—Telegraph Copyright.) (Rec. 7.0 p.m.) New York, June 6. The metropolis was treated this afternoon to one of its more spectacular and least frequent forms of hold-up theft of a pay-roll in a crowded speeding subway car. ~ A bag containing 2100 dollars carried by a woman clerk was snatched from her hands by one of two youths while the other kept the guard and the passengers quiet. When the train stopped at a station the bandits disappeared into the darkness of a tunnel. A radio alarm brought police cars and every underground station -was surrounded, but the bandits escaped.
