John Popkins, thirty-one years old, who
recently returned from the penitentiary.
after serving a sentence of ten years for
assault with a deadly weapon. last night
about o'clock entered the cafe of John
Skordas, 3516 M street northwest, drew
revolver and ordered James Betas,
a waiter, to give him the contents of the
cash drawer.
Betas grabbed the weapon and sue
ceeded in wrestling it from the would-be
hold-up man. Popkins, it is stated. pulled
the trigger while the two men were en-
gagged in the struggle and the hammer of
the weapon struck Betas' finger and pre-
vented him from being shot.
IT had been turned down by friends
and branded as a prison Bird the pris-
oner told the police when taken to the
police station, land I started out to do
something that would send me back be-
hind the bars the rest of his life"
Betas Alone in Cafe.
Betas was alone in the cafe when Pop
kins entered, Mrs. skordas, wife of the
proprietor, being in the kitchen. Pop
kins' appearance when he entered the
cafe was that of a man who had been
drinking, the police were told, and later
odor of alcohol was detected on his
breath by the police.
I've got a Nickel" stated Popkins
when he entered the cafe putting a coin
of that denomination On the counter, "and
1 want you to give me something for it,
"A piece of pie or a cup of coffee, :"
asked Betas, turning from the counter.
With an oath. It is stated. Popkins said
he wanted to get the contents of the cash
drawer. He drew a loaded revolver and
advanced toward Betas.
The sight of the glistening barrel of
the weapon startled Betas, but he deter
mined. to defend himself AS quick as a
flash Betas grabbed hold of the intruder
with one hand and the weapon with the
other.
Ginger Prevents Injury.
Betas later told the police that the
weapon was pointed toward his body
when Popkins pulled the trigger. His
finger happened to be in the way of the
hammer, however, and the revolver was
not discharged.
Cries for help brought Mrs Skordas
from the kitchen. The alleged wo1lid-be
robber did not remain lopg enough for
her to see HlUl, uOWcfcT, put, IN
