Bandits in Dinner Clothes Give
Man First Thrill in so HoIduDs

Harry A. Lemmer, who says he has
been held up so often 1t is getting
leetle monotonous," admitted he
got a bit OF a thrill out of the hold
up staged at his store, 1889 Fifth
street NV, last night.
At least so or 60 times during the
last Is years, he figures, gunner
have dropped into his store and re-
lieved him of an average of $40 on
each visit. To him, all these rob-
bers were Just ordinary bandits
men in tatters and battered hats.
So it was with something of a
surprise that looked up last night to
stare into the barrels of two As
caliber automaticS in the hands of
two colored bandits in dinner
clothes.
But the greatest surprise came
from their DISCUSSES. One wore a

black and the other a pink false
face.
They looked like beasts" reported
Mr.. Lemmer.
The one with the black face, he
said, demanded money The store
keeper turned to his daughter, jean
cite, and told her to open the cash
register. She touched key and
the till flew open, exhibiting shin
ing coins which totaled not more
than 50 in change.
DO you want this?" she asked the
black-maSked bandit.
I'VE got no use for chicken feed"
he Snorted in disgust.
The two holdup men backed to-
ward the door.
If you report this TO police, we're
coming back tomorrow night" they
threatened, and ran into the street.
Such threats, too, are common to
Mr.. Lemmer. He called the police.

and mental outlook of a much
younger boy. A failure at school, he
roamed the mountains. shooting
squirrels, rabbits and birds with pis-
tol and shotgun.
Sometimes he made forays into
the foothills beneath his fathers
cabin. Once he broke into a filling
station and was put on probation
for three years. Even his grand
father accused him of stealing SIT
firm him, and took the boys bicycle
to hold it until he restored the
money.
Cameron admitted he went to the
store with loaded .38-caliber re-
volver to get money. There were
indications that Mr.. johnson was
shot without warning as he leaned
over his counter, reading a mail
order catalogue. and that Mrs. John
son and her daughter were killed
Immediately afterwards. Bullets hit
each victim precisely in the head.
Commonwealth Attorney w. F.
Moffett would not say whether he
would ask the death penalty for the
boy. Virginia allows the extreme
penalty for premeditated murder in
cases where the defendant is over 7
years and under 16 and can be
proved of sound mind, Mr. Moffett
said.
