TWO KILLED IN BATTLE
WITH BANK ROBBERS
(Continued from front page)
Deputy Sheriff Elam Hall,
who took Davis, the wounded
bank robber to Little Rock,
Davis had little to say about
the robbery. He said he
went to Little Rock with his
wife about three weeks ago to
seek employment. He said he
answered an ad for auto me
chanic at the Gerhardt Motor
Company’s office, 306 West
Third street, and there met the
man known to him only as
‘'Bill” who had gone there for
the same purpose. “Bill,” he
said, later introduced him to'
Watkins. The two men plan
ned the bank robbery, he said,
and prevailed on him to ac
company them. He said he
had never been implicated in
a robbery before.
“Bill” was the ringleader,
according to the story Davis
told Deputy Sheriff Hall, and
the Bank of Alicia was select
ed by “Bill” because the ban
dit leader said he had lived
there a few weeks about a
year ago. According to resi
dents of Alicia a man known
as Bill Ruff was in Alicia for
a few weeks about a year ago.
“Bill” was described as
being about 23 and heavy set.
Watkins is a small man, about
27.
