consciousness, robbing him OF silks
worth $4,000 and wrecking the fixtures
of the place.
When the pickets began beating him,
Weiser said, one of his women en-
ployees ran out the back way and blew
police whistle, but no assistance was
obtained until he later telephoned to
the police station. Some time after

himself beaten into Inconsistencies
He said that the damage was such that
he had been compelled to close his

Is a prisoner in the Holy Family Hos
pital, Brooklyn, as the result of an
attempt to hold up the iewelry store
of Irving E. Solowey, 1875 Sands Street,
late yesterday Afternoon. Six shots
were fired during the pistol duel which
followed when the jeweler, though
stunned by blow from a blackjack
opened fire on two alleged robbers.
According to the version of the fight
which ~Solowey gave the police, he was
the door when two men entered his
store. AS he went forward to ask
them what they wished, he said, one
of the two men hit him over the left
temple with blackjack, knocking him
down.
The two men left the jeweler where
he fell and went to one of the show
cases. Solowey said that he was only
partly stunned by the blow and that,
unseen by the two men, he crawled
behind showcase and made his way
on his hands and knees to large safe
in the rear of the store.
The jeweler said he took revolver
from the safe and opened fire on the
two men, who were bending over a case
of jewels: He said that his first shots
went wild.
One of the two men pulled out a
.45 caliber automatic pistol and fired
once at the jeweler, the bullet strik-
ing the door of the open safe foot
from where Solowey stood. The two
men then turned and started to run
from the store, Solowey says.
The jeweler fired final shot, the
bullet entering Madison's back
Patrolman Charles McGovern of the
Poplar Street station, on hearing the
first shots of the duel, hurried to the
store. He entered just as Solowey

McGovern said that Madison turned
his gun on him. but before he could
fire McGovern pulled his own revolver
and said: "If you don't throw that
gun away I'll shoot"
Madison had no reply to make to this
threat, for Solowey's last bullet had
taken effect. He collapsed on the floor,
