"020 (B026) - Death in Silver (1934-10) - Lester Dent" - читать интересную книгу автора (Robeson Kenneth)

The terror in silver is with New York again. At


three o'clock this afternoon, these frightful men


of mystery shot down the drivers and guard of an


armored truck in the streets of Manhattan and took


$250,000.00 in cash.




Accounts of the number of robbers vary. Some


spectators say there were twenty; others claim


only five or six. The robbers escaped in a fast car


and evaded police pursuit in the water-front section


of the East River.




The thieves wore silver-colored suits and weird


silver hoods which made their beads resemble skulls.


This description tallies with the gang which has


committed other robberies and murders and which


is known to the police as the Silver Death's-Heads.
