Laue said, he had recommended to Sec

war materials be reopened. He declared
he felt "there was some ulterior purpose"
behind his dismissal, and that he had

SHOOT-TO-KILL ORDER 1
IN GIRL BANDIT HUNT
May Dying From Bullets of Brooklyn’s i
Bobbed Blonde. Foiled in Hold-up of
17.
New York. April 1. —Brooklyn’s i
blonde bobbed-hair bandit. who has
smiled through a score of daring holdups
in the past ten weeks, s-hnij to kill today
*vtlicn eu|rt#i fetJUNd Imniinent after]*
frustrated attempt to hold up seventeen i
employees of the Brooklyn plant of the ■
National Biscuit Company.
Her victim. Nathan Mazzio, lies dan- ;
geronsly wounded in a hospital, attend- j
ing physicians declaring he has but>a ,
slim chance to recover. He has two i
bullets in the cheat and a third in the <
thigh.
Today's attempt was by far the most ]
daring in the girl's meteoric career of i
banditry—a-career which she has pur
sued in spite of the efforts of 250 city i
detectives who have sought her and her
male companion for three weeks, with
orders to “shoot to kill if necessary."
Flashes a Smile and a Gun.
Accompanied by the inevitable male,
she sauntered into the retnil department
of the plant shortly before noon today
and asked for a dime's worth of confec- i
tions. The clerk turned from the shelves
to face a small automatic pistol in her
hand and one in eaoli hand of the man.
He backed into a rear room at their
orders.
There they were confronted by 15 girl i
employees and the cashier, Mazzio, who
had just, come in with a payroll sack.
The girl did the bossing; her companion
working under her direction. They start- ,
ed herding the 17 into a smaller loom,
that they might work at the office safe
uninterrupted.
Mazzio suddenl yseized her wrist in
one hand and tore at her heavy veil with
the' other. As suddenly as a gunshot,
she threw him off, sent him stumbling
into the prison room and. slammed the
door. Then she fired three shots through
the door, all of them hitting Mazzio.
Cabby Tied With Wire.
The two fled to a waiting taxieab and
the woman, till leading, -took the wheel.
They abandoned the car seven blocks
ntvay and the police later found a chauf
feur in it, neatly trussed up with strong ;
picture wire, and gagged. The two had ,
called him to a hotel at Eeighth Avenue ],
and Forty-third Street, Manhattan, and i
directed him to drive to a lonely spot
near the biscuit concern's plant. When |,
he halted the car the man seized him. lie 1
said, and bound- and gagged him while
the slim girl stood over him with her
pistol.
Police headquarters broadcast orders
“to shoot on sight and kill, if necessary."
The girl was said by Brooklyn police
to answer the descriptions of the bobbed
- hair young woman, who, always ac
companied by a tall dark man. has fig
ured in a series of robberies in Brook*
lyn and Manhattan. The police de
. scribe her ns a blonde, five feet three
inches tall, weighing about 112 pounds
and dressed in a gray, beaded dress, pink
| turban and sealskin coat.
This was the first hold-up by the girl
bandit in which the victim was shot.

hearts of the people a love for the things that are beautiful
and helpful and a desire to upbuild womanhood and
manhood that there could be no doubt in the hearts of the
citizenship that the Y has a place which can be filled by no
I other organization. To the thoughtful man and woman it
is apparent that much has been accomplished. It is need
less to mention the many things, activities and far reach
ing effects of the program as inaugurated and carried out.
Thousands of boys and girls of every walk of life have

State in the Union. But unless the people realize- that it
takes money to carry on, pay their pledges given a year
ago and come up not with talk but with deeds, the work ir.

The marriage party motored to
i the city in the afternoon from
! Raleigh where the marriage license was

52 and the age of Mrs. Watts as 51
years. They proceeded directly to the
Watts mansion from the courthouse
where the ceremony was performed. It
was witnessed by the governor daughter.

No One Expected News-
Mrs. Watts, who married the Dur
ham financier in October. 1917. at
Syracuse, N. Y.. and Governor Morri
son have been friends for sometime hut
nobody was ready for the news of the
marriage. It came as a distinct sur
prise to their immediate friends. During
the past several months he had been
known to visit Durham frequently as
the guest of John Sprunt Hill and
Gilbert C. White but nobody knew that
a courtship was underway between Mrs.
Watts and himself. Just when the
romance was culminated, the decision -to
marry, is not known and it was not I
dreamed by people here that, the two
people were considering marriage.
Durham’s Wealthiest Woman.
Mrs. Morrison is Durham's wealth
iest woman and since coming to the
city to livo after her marriage with the
late Mr. Watts, she has been one of
the city's most influential and well
liked citizens. She took part in
practically every public movement look-
ing toward civic betterment. In the
I work of her ehttreh she has always
shown much interest and her bene
factions have done much both for tile
church and for the public at large. She
was formerly a trained nurse in a
Baltimore hospital and it was in this
oapastty- tliftt_sbe first gift the late Mr-
Wat Is; during fils itlnesK she attended
1 him. This culminated in their marriage
‘ in October. 1917. On March 6. 1921 Mr.
Watts died.
Nothing is known as to the plans of
' tlie couple- It is thought here that they
, will reside in the governor's mansion in
Raleigh until the governor's term of of
fice expires after that it is purely con
jecture at this time as to where they
will make their home.
