STORY OF HO|LDUP
ISHIVEIyTlONOF
NIGHT P|ROWLER
Man Who Complained of High
Waymen Confesses He Was
Shot House Breaking

Unlimited assurance and confidence
must have permeated Natalia Rodi-
quez' system when he came to the
police for surgical aid Thursday, tell
ing them he had been shot by a
couple of highwaymen when in reality
bullet from a policeman's pistol
hit him. Rodiquez Is at the Queens
hospital today with bullet In his
arm and Capt. McDuffie has his con-
fession. -E5. -
Rodiquez told the police two Fill
pinos attempted to hold him up on the
road near the pumping station in ka-
lihi Wednesday night about 10 o'clock.
McDuffie discovered from Rodiquez'
wife that he was out until o'clock
Thursday morning and when Traffic
Officer Sam Ferreira came off shift
late yesterday afternoon, saw Rodi-
quez' story of the alleged hold-up in
the Star-Bulletin and compared notes
with McDuffie the whole story came
out.
Ferreira says he awoke suddenly
early Thursday morning on Young
street to find someone trying to enter
the window. Ferreira sprang from
his bed, found his automatic" and
fired at the retreating form. The Of
ficer says he saw the fleeing man
throw up his arm as If shot Ferreira's
description of the prowler fits Rodi-
QueZ.
Rodiquez will probably be put under
the new X-ray at the Queens hospital
in an effort to find a .3S calibre bullet
which entered the bone. He admitted
everything to McDuffie today.
