checks or jewelry.
He raised about $3.50 in cash in both
places and got away.

J. Newton of Burlington, VT She was
visiting at her parents home and was
asleep with her l3-months old baby when

his drawn revolver, her first thought
was to hide the diamond ring she vas
wearing. He said quietly that he did
not want the ring He said he was a
perfect gentleman and only needed a
little ready cash, so that she had moth
