BOYS ROBBED !: STORE
POLICE Believe
Small Shoe Prints Found on
Russo Premises May
Prove Clue.

That the robbers Of the John Rus
so store on Parks avenue we're boys
came to light today when 1t was as.
certained by the police that the shoe
prints about the premises where the
deed was committed were Of sizes FIVE
and less.
The "raffles" that got away with
the $45 in cash and merchandise to
the value OF about $40 also had lik-
ing for Fatima cigarettes. He took
eight cartoons OF these and several
packs OF other makes. He also took
some chewing gum and few cigars.
Russo claims that the $45 he says
was taken was paid him Tuesday by
one OF his customers who lives in
Grant Town. He says the safe was
not locked and that the robbers
helped themselves to several articles;
that he cannot tell for certain what
Is gone. The robbers took several
packages OF stamped envelopes with
Russo's name and address in the up.
per left hand corner.
The policemen have not been able
to reach any conclusion as to the
identity of the robbers so far, but a
number OF youths who were seen in
the vicinity the day of the robbery
are under surveillance and arrests are
expected.
