After grabbing a hag containing
the money from the seut of a truck
where it had been placed by Brad-
ley, negro porter who with Earl,
the store’s traffic manager, and Wil-
moth, employed in the delivery de-
partment, was taking the store re-
ceipts to a hank, the three bandits
ran across First Street and escaped
in an automobile parked at the crub.
Struck in Side.
Bradley, who had his hand on the
bag when accosted by the robbers, i
wius struck in the side and ordered
to turn his face to the store wall.
Another employe, Newton, in
charge of the loading zone m ar by,
said the robbers followed the store
employes from the building and ac-
costed them just outside the door.
Sensing something was wrong, New-
ton said he started over to the hold-
up scene when ono of the robbers
ordered him at pistol-point to "Stay
where you are!”
Kurosky said he raw the robbers
cross the street and enttr n light
blue sedan. One got into the front
seat, the other two in the back and
the car was driven hurriedly away
lifter first scraping a fender of a|
cur parked immediately in front. The-
car was headed west.
Almost Lost Hat.
One of the robbers almost
his hat in his flight across
street, Kurosky said. The head-
piece, however, was caught in mid-
air by the bandit' who hardly broke
his stride ns he intercepted it.
Later an unidentified woman said
she saw a car fitting the descrip-
tion of the one used by the rubbers
speeding south on Commerce street.
