Bank is Robbed by Armed Pair at Markham Snowbound highways and sideroads throughout the northern section of York County, and as far north as Barrie, were thoroughly combed this week as a systemauc search ex- tending over two counties was carried out tor the perpetrators of a daring hold-up staged "at the Markham branch' otf the Canadian Bank ot Commerce early on Monday. word or the affair had been flashed to rrovincial and County Police in all directions, and a close scrutiny was kepc on all cars throughout the night. Up to the present, however, no arrests have been reported. Snoruly betore 3 o'clock on Monday aiternoon, two bandits, one of them sald to be armed, walked into the bank, and, after forcing the manager and his two assistants, as well as a customer, into the vault, scooped up approximately $2,000 from the teller's cage and made their getaway in a stolen car. 'L'hough chased for many miles by the manager and a citizen who secured the number of the car, the two bandits were finally lost sight otf near Aurora and. are believed at that time to have been heading for Barrie. Alighting from a car, which they left outside the Bank of Nova Scotia, on the opposite side of the main street, the two men entered the Bank of Commerce as W. B. Burnett of Stouffville was making out a deposit slip at the customers' table. The elder of the two men walked to the table, where he seeminly occupied himself with some documents, while his companion stood near the door as if waiting for him. No sooner had Burnett approached the teller's cage than the elder bandit followed him. Pulling out a revolver, which he pointed at Sam Marchen, the teller, he addressed the latter: "All right Buddy,' A moment later he ordered the manager, M. M. MacKenzie, Marchen; J. T. E. Pollock, the ledger- keeper, and Burnett into the vault at the rear of the building. By this time the second bandit, who had been posted at the door, with his right hand in his pocket, hurried around the counter, and, after the first man had seized the keys to the cage, the two made quick work in picking up the currency, and made their escape.
