Sheriff Bob Baker reported today that he believed several of the bandits were killed or seriously wounded and that their bodies are somewhere in the dangerous and treacherous everglades swamp. Five houses, a store, filling station and several automobiles were burned last night and early today comprising the bandits' stronghold near Fruita, Fla.

PLANNED Believe Bandits Made Inspection of Bank at Tustin Friday The Tustin bank robbery, in which two daylight bandits escaped with $2800, was carefully executed after an advance survey, it was believed today following a declaration by Mrs. W. M. Huntley, of Tustin, that she had seen a roughly dressed man, answering to the description of the bandit leader, gazing into the bank last Friday. That the bandits escaped directly through Santa Ana, where they "melted" into the heavy traffic along the state highway, was the theory adopted by Sheffield San Jerrigan in the light of evidence showing the fleeing robbers followed a course along Main street, Tustin, and Chestnut street, Santa Ana, after the hold-up. The bandits, it appeared today, had made good their escape despite the tight dragnet thrown out not only over Orange-co but through So. Calif. by Sheriff Jerrigan. Possess that hurried cat under the sheriff's orders to search every locally of the county in the hope of picking up the trail of the bandit car returned late last night, reporting that no vestige of a clue was to be found. Mrs. Huntley's statement was viewed by the authorities as indicating possibly a general inspection of Orange-co community by the bandits before their stroke was made at Tustin. Mrs. Huntley said she was seated in the lobby of the First National Bank at Tustin last Friday, having called there to open her safety deposit box. While examining the contents of the box she happened to glance toward the door, she said, and saw a man of disremutable appearance and evil countenance standing just outside of the door and searching the interior of the bank with his gaze. The man, she said, closely fit the description given of the stockily built, hard faced bonnet who appeared to be the leader of the bold-up expedition at Tustin yesterday. He did not come inside of the bank, she said but after a rather extended and apparently careful scrutiny of the interior he hurried away. Officials of the bank today announced, after a check of funds in the bank, that the losses were exactly $2,800, thus lowering the original estimate of between $3000 and $3500.
