PHILADELPHIA, March 21.-
Five armed bandits. who held up
a crowd of fifteen men in cigar
store at 901 North Franklin street
and escaped with a 81 900 diamond
ring and $400 in cash, left behind
them $4,000 worth OF jewelry in
their haste to make a getaway.
Unlike the men who rode the
wave of banditry last week, these
men were unmasked, older and
more experienced.
A high-powered automobile drew
up before the cigar store. which
is conducted by IsidOre Broudy.
and three well-dressed men alighted.
Occupants of the store noted
nothing suspicious as the trio, after
exchanging u few words with the
two who remained seated in the
machine, walked into the place and
ordered cigars.
Then, as the proprietor turned.
the curt command to "stick 'em
up'' was given and the men in the
store found themselves facing three
