BANDITS HOLD UP
MUSIC PUBLISHER
Men in Automobile Rob Hyman
L. Morris in West PhiIa-
deIphia
CAMDEN GIRL Is ROBBED

Two motor bandits held up Hyman
l.. Morris. widely known music pub
Usher. of 4S17 Chestnut street. early
this morning and took a diamond pin,
several dollars in cash and three bank
books.
Morris was walking down Forty
eighth street below Market, when he
noticed an automobile standing at Lud :
low street. As he approached we'll
dressed young man jumped from the
car and bade good night to companion
in the automobile.
Just as Morris reached the car the
man on the sidewalk drew revolver
and told him to throw up his hands.
Morris hcsitated moment and then the
man in the car jumped out with an
other revolver. One of the bandits
searched Morris while the other pressed
a revolver close to his head.
Threatened With Death
Noticing that Morris was trying to
see the number of the car one of the
bandits said
Keep your head straight. If you look
at the number in this machine I'll blow
your brains OUT
After expressing dissatisfaction with
the amount of valuables they obtained
the bandits backed off to the car and
turned toward Market street at q rapid
rate of speed.
Morris had an opportunity to obtain
good description Of the men and in
formed the police of the Thirty secord
and Woodland avenue station.
They looked like dressed up lounge
lizards said Morris today, "of the
type who are too lazy to work. There's
lot of them around town."
II imagine that they were experienced
at the game for they worked coolly and
acted as though they had plenty of
time. There are very few people in this
neighborhood usually and I guess they
knew there was little chance of inter-
ference.
Escapes in Stolen Car
A bandit. after holding up Miss
Blanche Paspernock in her hairdressing
establishment at 323 Market street,
Camden. last night, ran out of the
place and stole an automobile at the
corner, in which he made his escape.
Miss Paspernock was closing her
place just before midnight when young
man entered.
II want your money" he said.
He drew a revolver and pressed it
to the young woman's side. She told
him she had no money. AS she spoke
his eyes fell upon 5000 diamond ring
on her finger.
Give me that ring" he demanded,
and took it from her finger.
Then he backed to the door, holding
his revolver, aimed at Miss Paspernock
and warning her not to make an out
cry.
She remained silent until the bandit
backed out of the door. Then she called
for help.
But when the police took up the
pursuit the robber had disappeared.
A few minutes later, James McClue,
of 514 Williams street, reported to the
police that his automobile had been
stolen from the corner of Fourth and
Market streets.
Miss Paspernock was able to give only
an incomplete description of the robber.
She said his face was concealed by the
green cap he wore. This was drawn
down so as to hide the upper portion
of his head. She said he was a young
man, smooth shaven, and wore short,
dark overcoat.
