The confrontation was brief but serious as the two constables tracking four bank robbers met them about three p.m. on the afternoon of December 11, 1930 on the Athens-Palestine Road. According to the Athens Weekly Review of that date the lawmen exchanged gunfire with the bandits who had just stolen $12,000 from the First State Bank of Frankston. The ensuing gun fire injured the constables and possibly one of the robbers.
A telephone interview with bank Cashier Ray Perry gave the Review reporter more details. Just after noon three men entered the bank to confront Mr. Perry and Assistant Cashier Carrie Watkins, telling them to open the safe and put the cash into a bag. Then leaving the two employees in the vault they fled in a Model T Ford driven by a fourth man who was thought to have been holding a machine gun.
SANDWICH Temperatures at the Sandwich Marina on Friday morning stood at the freezing mark, with a bitter wind and driving snow. Despite this, 25 crewmen and captains from Cape and New Bedford fishing vessels sat down in slushy snow to wriggle into what could be the most important article of clothing they will ever try on.
They call them Gumby suits, and it’s easy to see why. A survival suit is bright orange with oversized hands and feet and a tight-fitting hood that reveals only a small moon of flesh: eyes, nose and mouth.
The water temperature in the marina was 47 degrees, and Dan Orchard, the vice president of Fishing Partnership Support Services, had the men suit up and jump into the water within a half-hour of arrival. The shock of going from comfort to cold, disorienting water temperatures was about as close to the real thing as could be had shoreside.
