Sachs walked into police headquar-
ters this morning and reported the rob-
berry and assault to members of the
Detective Bureau. declaring that he was
going to call their bluff" and ask for
protection.
He told detectives that he stopped
for a traffic light at Seventh and E
streets about 1880 o'clock last night
shortly after leaving his place of bust
ness, at 600 K street, and while waiting
for the go" signal man hoped on
the running board and took the place
beside him on the front seat.
Sticking revolver into Sachs ribs,
he ordered Sachs to drive to Virginia
avenue and Seventh street southwest
and from there commanded him to go
to Fourteenth street, across Highway
Bridge and into Virginia.
The man, Sachs said, was the same
who first beat him up on Defense High
way and threatened to kill him if he
did not close out the glass repair de-
partment of his garage Immediately.
He escaped after taking SAB from
Sachs pocketbook.
Warned to Avoid Police.
A short distance after crossing ovel
the machine to a halt near the Fedora!
Experimental Farms, in Arlington
County
Are you going to quit this glass
game?" Sachs said the racketeer asked
poking the gun still deeper into his
side
Yes, I will" the repair man said
he replied.
You'd better. This is the last
snapped Your next ride will be your
finish and you better not go to the
police for help"
The man then struck him across the
face and pushed him into the road,
taking his pocketbook, containing $14
and driving away in Sachs sedan.
Sachs walked mora than mile ia
Highway Bridge and picked up ride
to Washington. This morning he de-
cided to report the incident to police,
despite the racketeer's warning
I'm going through with this, no mat
ter what happens" Sachs told reporters
at police headquarters. They can
threaten all they want. but I'm going
to stick in this glass business"
Car Is Found in Cemetery.
Sergt. Alligood of the automobile
squad began a search for the machine
at once and came upon it short while
later in the cemetery. He said that
thorough search of the car failed to
reveal any clues that might lead to
establishing the identity of Sachs
attacker.
The car was in good condition, with
the ignition key in place in the lock,
Alligood said. The motor was still
warm, indicating that it had been
abandoned only few moments before.
The clues ended there, however. for
Alligood failed to find any one who had
seen the racketeer leave the car.
