stepped out, and each one put a re-
volver at my ears. Then another rob-
ber, masked like the others, stepped
out and took hold of my nose and held
my head back so 1 could only see the
sky between the tree tops. While the
three guarded me this way the first
robber took $40 and my watch. The
robbers told me to get out of the park

''I walked very fast. man with a
black mask and revolver stepped out
of some bushes anJ told me to go slow.

again a masked man with a revolver
stepped ahead of me and told me not
to hurry. That happened four times,
and 1 know there were eight robbers
in the band"
