Five bandits operating an auto
mobile stopped and robbed six parties
e automobile riders at Bloodgood
Crossing, y. j., between Crawford and
Highway, last night. Police from
Crawford, Elizabeth and Railway
went to the scene in automobiles and
called out the patrols OF the Safety
Committee of Union County. The
robbers were surrounded but caped
in their automobile after exchanging
revolver shots with the police.
John Gabbett of Crawford said tho
robbers had blocked the road with
their car. and when he slowed UP they
jumped from the dark, pointing revolv-
ers at him. He stepped on his accel.
orator and got away Several shots
were fired at him before hc was out
Of range.
The police found five cars parked al
the side Of the road, where they had
been sent after the bandits had robbed
the passengers. John Roarlc Of Rah-
way said they had taken $50 from him
and diamond rings from woman who
was with him.
John c. OsterberE Of CRAWFORD, a
former soldier who lost both mis- legs
in battle overseas and "a student at
Columbia University, had turned
over $50 before the men saw he was
crippled and wore silver service
button. His money was returned.
1--WE are sorry" said one Of the
robbers. I'VE do not like this bust
ness-we have to do It; but VIC do
not have to take anything from Grip
pied men and especially men who

Osterberg said the mans speech
indicated that he was well educated.
Henry Tomlinson of Crawford lost
$50 and Felix DE Savio Of Crawford
lost $50 and a gold watch. One
other victim drove away before he
had been uestioned by the police.
The robbers are believed to be the
