Fake Building inspectors Get Barber :
savings Of Ten Years.

Two men showing badges which seemed

Rosa Mayo. wife of an Italian barber.
Angelo Mayo. soon after dinner yesterday
and said that they wanted 10 look over
the building. The Mayos live at 3O7
West Eleventh street. Mrs. Mayo let
them in without hesitation. for their
badges seemed to tally up with what she
had seen other building inspectors wear
ing.
They looked at the fire escape and then
asked to be shown the front room Mrs.
Mayo took them in and then one of them
caught her from behind. The other
started TO tie her up. A wad of cloth wet
with something that Mrs. Mayo didn't
know how to describe. except that it
didn't smell good. was thrust under her
nose. Presently she lost consciousness
In another room was the nine-year-old
son of the barber, Rocco. They told him
that il he made sound they would shoot
him. He kept quiet. The two men
gathered up all the property of value
that they could find. There was s.. 900
in money. the savings Of ten years Of work
in the barber shop. Mrs. Mayo's diamond
earrings. which the barber had bought
her little while ago with $3.50. and
SIS worth of pennies and nickels which
they found in the children's banks
In their haste to get out they left two
or three bundles of clothing and shoes,
plunder OF other apartments, so the police
suppose.
As soon as he dared after the men went
out little Rocco scrambled upstairs to
where Mrs. Teresa Massaro has rooms
She came running down and helped to
bring Mrs. Mayo back to her senses. Mrs.
Massaro said that she had had the two
visitors before they called on Mrs Mayo
They had offered to examine her rooms.
but just then her dog barked and they
guessed they wouldn't stay.
The two women said they thought one
of the men was an lrishman and the other
was German. When Angelo Mayo got
home from his barber shop he said that
he had been delayed by a man who wanted
to be shaved over and over again. He
took such lot of time about il that the
barber supposed he might have been in
the game too. Detectives of the Italian
squad set to work 10 find the thieves.
