A crowd of curious onlookers gathers across Lafayette Boulevard from the Detroit News after
the robbery. The buildings shown were riddled with bullets from the gun battle with police.

to the News building to investigate the commotion

 

 

Not only did the rival Detroit Times beat the News to the street with its extra on the robbery, it showed that it had people freely roaming the News building when it ran a detailed map of the payroll department. At right is the next day's edition of the Times with stories detailing the police chase of the robbers and rewards for their capture.
