Perusing old Enquirer pages on Newspapers.com, a headline from June 22, 1930, caught my eye: “Robbers Kidnap Bank Cashier. – Time-Lock Stops Attempted Robbery At Reading.”
So I followed the case through the newspaper coverage in The Enquirer and the Cincinnati Post.
It played out like a James Cagney gangster movie.
