MURDERER GOES BACK
TO SCENE OF EXPLOIT
San Francisco Robber Continues
Deprsdations in Spite Of
Police Vigilance.

San Francisco, Dec. Invading the
vigilance of the police department and
almost brushing shoulders with two de
tectives set to watch for his reappear-
ance. the lone bandit who has killed one
man i'm cold blood and robbed four stores
since a week ago last Saturday night
held up tonight a candy store located
within twenty feet of the scene of two
of his former crimes and escaped.
That he secured nothing was due to the
fact that there was little money I'm the
cash drawer, and the b0ldness of his ac-
ton indicates that it was inspired by a
spirit of bravado and desire TO fIout
the police, who have dragged the city In
all directions for more than a week with
out finding q trace Of him. The TObber
contented himself with questioning the
terrified girl behind the counter as to the
mission Of the two detectives stationed in
front of DIT. Gleasou's drug store. twenty
feet away. His description tallies closely
with that of the man fer whom they were
on watch, and it is possible that only the
fact that the drug store was closed be
cause of the death of Mrs GLEASON. the
proprieter's mother prevented q third
visitation there
Tonight's robbery followed closely upon
the receipt of letters by the pOlie7 from
the supposed robber that he would show
them that he was not a cur and
coward" as several police officials have
declared I'm newspaper interviews.
