BOLD BANDITS ROB BANK AT KOKOMO TODAY
Police Here On Lookout For the Bandits Who Looted Southside Bank This Afternoon
Police here received notification this afternoon at two o'clock that five armed bandits entered the Southside Bank at Kokomo and escaped with an unestimated amount of loot following one of the boldest day-light holdups in the history of the state.
According to information available here, the bandits made their getaway in a high powered Blue Moon touring car, bearing the license number of 474-923.
The local police have dispatched patrolmen to the outskirts of the city and were on the lookout for the thieves this afternoon. Kokomo officials could not ascertain the direction the bandits took, it is said.
The robbery occurred this afternoon at 1:30.

Cousin Harry PIERPONT (1902-1934) robbed the Southside Bank in Kokomo. This is one of the newspaper articles I've located in retracing his criminal history.
