A TOWSON MAN is
BEATEN BY HITCHHIKERS

James C. Yohe of the $500 block
Maryland avenue, Towson, Nd, has
learned that it doesn't pay to be kind
to hitchhikers. Early Sunday morn
ing, Yohe said, he gave ride to
hitchhikers who beat him severely,
robbed him of camera and $50 and
left him unconscious on the side of
the road.
Yohe regained consciousness short
time later and succeeded in getting a
ride back to Baltimore, where he re-
ported the incident to the Northern
District Police.
The case was then turned over to
Officers Ira Smith and Charles Sche-
per, of the Baltimore County police
(Towson District), and the two Off
GERS began an immediate investiga-
ton.
Yohe told the officers that he had
picked up two hitch-hikers south of
Towson, while driving his car north
on the York road. He said that he
was bound for nearby swimming
hole.
He described the two men as being
between 25 and 80, and being hatless
and coatless. He said that both men
wore white shirts. Yohe stated that as
he neared the swimming hole, he pro-
coded to park his car. When he got
out of the car he said that the two
men attacked and beat him, took his
money and camera and drove off in
his automobile.
Yohe received treatment from q
physician for his injuries, which were
described as a slight concussion, and
numerous cuts and bruises, and a jaw
injury.
Early Tuesday morning Yohe's car
was discovered, parked in an alley at
Biddle and Brentwood streets, in Bal
timore.
