When officials had been advised of the robbery they immediately sought trace of the blue automobile bearing Michigan license plates and learned it had been driven east out of Montpelier on state road No. 18, but further inquiry along this route indicated the car had not continued the easterly flight and authorities believe the men circled after leaving the city and went west.
