Dr. Noland is positive in his opinion
that the thug and murderer is simply a
criminal Of the most desperate class.
II was but q few minutes after 8
O'Clock and Market street was crowded
when the desperate entered the store
last night. Or. NOland was behind the
counter at the side Of the store on

denly drew his revolver from the right
hand side pocket of his trousers and
covered Noland with IL.
Throw up you rhandsr he cried
Throw UP your hands and give me
The money quick, Give me the money!
Doctor holland turned in surprise at
the first command but the leveled
gun and TIE nod of the thug towards
the cash register convinced him that
lie was the victim of no joke. He did
not literally throw up his hands, but
INSTEAD jumped TO the cash register and
cran1ed il open.
The holdupman stepped past the cash
register toward the front Of the store,
keeping Noland covered constantly He
stopped Just in front of the machine
and stood there while holland scooped

were tsanding, and Gleason, looking
through the small, half hidden window
5n the prescription desk, saw the Wis
1tor as Doctor Noland had just turned
10 wait on him.
There he is-the same man. he
shouted It's the holdup man again.
His words electrified the group about
him and they jumped to the window
and the curtained doorway leading TO
the front Of the store in time TO wit
ness the entire transaction. Gleason
himself turned toward LIE stairway at
the rear of the room. as though to
escape. but then rushed back TO the
