SAM SURE DID RUN
Hold Up Men Say go" and Negro
Leaves I'm q Hurry.

"'Taint no disgrace TO run when you
is scared"
Twenty years ago this was the
title of popular song hit, introduced
in San Antonio by 'Billie" Kersands,

Monday night Sam Wilson. negro,
712 South Olive street, realized the
truthfulness of that old-time rag
tune. He was held up by two gunner
at Moses park, Peach and Goliad
streets, separated from So 30 and
then told to beat it in n hurry =
Sam did as he was told. When he
stopped running he was far out on
South Olive street, nearly mile from
the scene of the stick-up. 1t was
% minutes after he had gazed into the
cannon-like holes in the business ends
of brace of As caliber guns. when
he got into telephone communication
with the police.
Detectives Perrow and Kohr and
Station Officer Ramschissel answered
the call, but found Sam too excited to
furnish them with an accurate de-
scription of the hold-up artists. He
wasn't even sure they were white or
black. He did know they were big.
mean-looking' and that each was armed
with n giant pistol.
