RETRACTS TALE
ANDLEADS To
H|DDENLOOT
Youth BIames Pay Cut for
Staging Fantastic
HoIdup

A fantastic story that he
was held up by two armed
bandits last night and lashed
to the steering wheel of his
truck was repudiated today
by a 19-year-old youth.
Ralph Davis, of 1888 Monroe
st. N. E., told police that he
had faxed" the story because
his salary had recently been cut
and that he had not been paid
by his employer last week.
Found LaShed to Wheel
Davis, who operates a delivery
truck for a meat market, was
found last night lashed to the
steering wheel of his truck near
the Baltimore and Ohio Rail
road tracks at Bates Road North
east.
He was discovered by Police
men C. B. Kimbell and r. T.
Decker, who were patrolling in a
radio car. The youth said two
men had hailed him at Michigan
Avenue and Tenth Streets North
east and asked him for a ride.
Money Recovered
When the truck reached the
tracks, he told police, they held
him up with pistol, took $61.70
belonging to his employer and
lashed his hands with wire to the
steering wheel. He had been in
the truck about half an hour
when police arrived.
Davis later told Detective
Sergt. James j. TolSon that the
story was false and that he had
deliberately staged the alleged
holdup, improvising the wire
handouts. He told police the
money was hidden under a tub
in the yard of his home. 1t was
recovered there.

GETS
3O-DAY TERM

Convicted of assaulting Robert
E. Mathers, 3501 Thirty-sixth St.
N. W., a man giving his name as
Lytel Watkins today was SEN
fenced to 80 days in jail by Police
Court Judge Isaac r. Hit.
Mathers said watkins came to
his home yesterday and offered
to sell a fountain pen. When he
refused to buy, Mathers said, the
man demanded ST to go to New
York to get a job" Mathers
finally agreed to give him the
money, he said, and Watkins in
sisted on going upstairs with him
to get it.
Mathers refused to permit this,
he said, and Watkins attempted
to force his way past him.
Mathers left the house and called
police. A charge of petty larceny
placed against, Watkins when
police found a pair of socks, and
a passport from the Mathers
home in his pocket resulted in an
other sentence of 80 days, to run
concurrently with the assault
term.
