Three bandits made off with $6100 in cash, bringing in a machine gun, shotgun and an automatic pistol. They drove away with a fourth man in a sedan parked outside.
A crowd of people stare as a man in a white jacket pulls Barbara Ward across the floor by holding a rope attached to a stretcher. Her eyes are closed and limbs are crossed over each other.
