I was searching for some local poker games and came up w/ this (check the date):
5 MASKED BANDITS ROB POKER PLAYERS; Break Into Bronx Gambling House and Hold Up 25 Patrons at Pistol Point. VICTIMS DISGORGE $1,500 Each Forced to Turn Over All His Jewelry, and Robbers Get Away Safely.

Although it all happened early Sunday morning the police of the Morrisania station, in the Bronx, only learned last night how a gambling resort temporarily established in an isolated section of their precinct had been entered by five masked bandits, who lined twenty-five poker players against a wall, covered them with revolvers, and robbed them of a total of $1,500.
