Two clowns sought in armed robbery case
McAllen Daily Press November 10, 1929: Dallas Nov. 9 Attired in Halloween costumes three bandits held up C.B. Young and extracted $25 from his pockets. One of the bandits, a woman, was dressed in a Pierrot costume (such as worn by modern day mimes) and was “tough as the backend of a shooting gallery”. Another of the bandits wore a clown costume, while the third wore civilian clothes and was not masked. Young was accosted as he neared his by an auto which stopped in front of him. “Making whoopee brother?” the clown asked as he jumped from the car.
He laughed at the Halloween revelers and the woman leaped at him. Still suspecting nothing, he stopped as the merry makers danced around him. And then a third bandit stepped into the scene with a gun leveled in his hand.
“Stick ‘em up” was the command. The woman retrieved the wallet and the trio made their escape leaving nothing but their descriptions.
