Shoot Grocer; Take 81, 800
Six Men Also Rob Customer
When Wine Il Refused

Six men entered Frank Oliva's
grocery store at 131 Twenty first
Street. Brooklyn. about 9 o'clock last
night and demanded wine. When the
grocer protested he had none, one of
the men drew a revolver and sent a
bullet through Oliva's left arm and
another through his chest.
The men then searched Olivia, TAX
ing $500 and his watch. They also
searched Tony Patti, q neighbor. who
was in the store, getting small
amount of money. After they had
gone the alarm was given and Olivia
was taken to Norwegian Hospital. His
wounds are serious. The police believe
the robbers hoped Olivia would produce
wine, when they would represent them
selves as Internal Revenue agents and
demand the groceps money as bribe.
