Well dressed bank robber kept his cool

A story in the Weekly Gazette on October 30, 1926, was about a Moreauville bank robbery three days before by a well-dressed robber who kept his cool.
There was only one employee in the Avoyelles Bank and Trust Company bank, and he was getting ready to close the bank just past 4 p.m.
The well-dressed man drove to the bank in a Chevrolet coupe, entered the bank and said he was a salesman of “banking house supplies.” The robber asked the cashier about the bank’s office supply stock as he made sure the cashier was the only employee at the bank.
Suddenly he pulled out a gun and told the cashier to get inside the bank’s vault. The robber took $6,500 the bank had received from New Orleans that morning through registered mail. The robber shut the bank vault, locking the cashier inside.
Witnesses said they saw the robber “calmly drive away in a motor car.” The article concluded by reporting the cashier was not hurt during the incident, “but the experience gave him a headache.”
