Efland, N.C., Dec. 11 (AP)—Three robbers held up the Bank of Efland here about 10 o’clock this morning, forced the cashier, Robert Riley, into the vault, and escaped with $2,500.
Riley was the only person in the bank when the men entered. Each leveled a pistol at him and he was ordered into the vault which was then locked. It was more than half an hour before he was freed from the vault.
He said the men drove up to the bank in a small closed car, and described them as wearing long overcoats and capes. One of the men, he said, was blonde while the other two were dark of complexion. The eldest of the three men was slightly stoop shouldered and appeared about 35 years of age. The other two looked to be about 30.
Parties who saw the car leave town said it proceeded in a westerly direction.
