EaIkS DEuk NOAAPAAAJ 1b ON 1kWOUGl avenue last night at Il o'clock and Parks, rifing the cash register oi about $50, and after going through MT Parks pockets and securing . bill fold which contained about $1 his operators license and few other papers, escaped from the store. af. ter warning him that if he made z move him that if he made a move they would fill full of lead. MI Parks was alone in the store at tho time of the holdup and was about ready to close up for the night. He was in the rear of the store when one of his holdup men came rushing in, Mir Parks had his back turned at the time. He turned partially around to feel and see a gun press cd against his back with orders to march to the back of the store and keep quiet. He readily compiled with the order he stated for the gun man was evidently very nervous his hand trembling like leaf and MT Parks feared every minute that the gun might be discharged.
 The man who covered him with the gun went through his pockets while the other two after entering the store went through the cash register. For the reason that his back was turned he was able to give only a description of the man who covered him with the gat, al- though he expressed the opinion to the police that all three were of foreign extraction. The one cover- ing him was of medium height he stated, about five foot seven and of very complexion. It was his belief that the trio escaped in a car as he heard motor which sounded like a. Ford car start immediately after the trio departed, but he dA.l not see the car. When he regained his composure, he immediately noti- fled Officer Malone, Jr, on desk duty at police headquarters. Off, cers were despatched to the neigh bohhood but no trace of the holdur men was found. It is the belief of the police that the trio were fam liar with the surroundings as tile holdup was timed to take place while Patrolman Martin Garrick covering the Rubber avenue bea, was at the extreme other end o1 the beat. About one half hour be- fore the hold up took place Chie1 of Police John Adamson was in MI Parks store talking to hj'a.
