McHenry residents recalled the excitement of Ipcal bank robberies of the late 'twenties • last week Thursday when two men Were captured by the combined efforts "of city, county and state law enforcement bodies.

Captured were Herbert T. Morrison, 41. and Arthur C. Kit* banks, 32. In their car was a bag containing $6,660 which the two men had taken a short time earlier in a hold-up at the First National Bank of Antioch. Local and county police were notified of the robbery at 2:58 p.m. and less than thirty minute* later the two men we» IB '"Vfe* custody of the police. Take Up Clias* Local police took up the chase as they recognized the maroon packard speeding westward at the intersection of Green and Elm streets, where the car did not even hesitate at the Stop sign. The fact that their appearance in McHenry occurred just as schools were dismissed made the auto's speed even more dangerous than it otherwise would have been. Sheriffs deputies were already located west of the tracks, having arrived in McHenry via the Bull Valley blacktop road from Woodstock only minutes before. Four shots were aimed at the rear of the bandit car before the two men gave themselves up. With hands extended upwards and without guns they surrendered. The money bag w** found th<-> rear seat and in the were a .32 revolver and a sawecjf off shotgun. Soon after their capture, the younger man turned to Police Chief Harold Aim and said* "Please don't ever tell me lxw» much money is in the bug; I'M probably get fifteen years for this." • Met In June " ' According to the story teli the two men to Sheriff Nulle, the F.B.I. and Lake county police, they met five months afe and had checked out of a Chicago hotel the morning of the robbery. It was also revealed that they had looked over the situation in Woodstock but after -seeing a big policeman on the corner near the bank there decided against that as a "project.'* After several hours in Lake county, they agreed on the Antioch bank. They walked in and approached three cashier's cages which are grouped together. Eubanks had the revolver and Morrison the shotgun. One of them threw in the bag and demanded that it be filled up. As one of the employees, unaware of the incident, called to the assistant cashier, who had a gun pointed at him, the two robbers fired a shot into the ceiling; and demanded that everybody "stick "em up." Phoned Authorities As soon as the money was given and the bandits left, one of the women employees phased Lake county sheriffs office who, in turn, notified McHenry county authorities. The fugitives took several side roads and finally reached Rt. 120 at Al's White House by way of the Pistakee Bay blacktop road. It was at this point that they spotted a state police car, whereupon Morrison turned his car around the drive-in stand and proceeded toward McHenry. Bom men denied ever having been Jhvolved in a burglary bef< yrev Both were in service, Morrison as a paratrooper and Eubanks in the army. Both served in the European theatre of war. They were turned over to FBI authorities. ZONING VARIATIONS Three applications for variation in zoning were approved by the board and one denied during the past week.
