Robbers Attack War
Veteran; One Dying
Pay Roll Hold-Up Fails When
Prospective Victim Starts
to Use Revolver

Two highwaymen yesterday made the
mistake of selecting war veteran to
rob, and as a result one of the outlaws
is dying in the North Hudson Hospital
at Hoboken.
Sidney Wertheimer, of 1913 Leonard
Street, Jersey City, cashier Of the
Greece Fat Rendering Plant, at Sea
caucus, N. j., yesterday went to the
Highland Trust Company, in West Ho-
boken, to draw 81, 500 for his employers 3
pay roll. In Paterson Avenue, opposite
Tyler Park, Wertheimer was stopped
by two men, both masked and each
armed with revolver.
Give us your money!" one demanded.
II have no money" was the cashiers
reply, whereupon he drew his own re-
volver and exchanged three shots with
one of the bandits, who fell mortally
wounded. Werthemer himself was shot
through the hand and heavy belt on
his overcoat stopped the two other
bullets fired at him.
When the police arrived both high
waymen had disappeared and it was not
until some time later they learned that
the dying outlaw had been taken to the
hospital in motor truck hailed by his
companion, who escaped. The robber
believed to be dying is Charles Cos
tallo, twenty lone, of 145 Spring Street,
West Hoboken. He was shot in the
head and in the body.
