street being the victims.
One of the robbers searched the vic.
Tins while the other held them up with
a revolver. When the man who OBJ.
tained the loot had searched the last
man he ran down the street. The other
then started after his partner and the
four victims jumped on him in an ef-
fort to capture him. The robber
jammed his weapon against Ryles'
stomach and fired. The latter fell and
the robber escaped during the excite

A number Of officers from the cen
