A mob of 200 people chanted, “Lynch them,” “Shoot them!” outside a magistrate’s office in Northampton, Pa., where two men were arraigned on charges of shooting three women to death in a bank robbery that reportedly netted $2,222. Taxi drivers Stanley Joseph Hertzog, 29, of Allentown, and Martin Daniel Appel, 28, of Northampton, face murder and robbery charges for allegedly storming the First National Bank of Bath on Friday and mowing down five people, killing three. They were captured three hours later at a police roadblock about three miles from the bank, officers said.
