7 Robberies, Minutes Apart
By Same Bandit, Net 500

Two robberies, minutes apart in
the same neighborhood and appar-
emily by the same culprit, yielded
total loot of nearly 500 today.
The robber first entered Highs ice
cream store at 1888 North Capitol
street, took $40 from the purse of
the clerk, Clarissa Cummings, COL
ored, and ordered her to stay in the
back room for half an hour. She
followed directions to a fault, re-
naming in seclusion the entire 30
minutes.
A colored man, answering the
same description as the Highs
bandit, showed up a few minutes
later at the Palace Laundry, 1O1
Rhode Island avenue NV. AS in
the first case, he stuck his hand in
his pocket menacingly and ordered
the clerk, Helen E. Fedorko, 81, Of
28-B Army War College, into a
closet.
He took $40 from the cash regis
ter, leaving only pennies, and IS
from the clerks purse.

Numbers Man Takes q Chance
Gets as Days and 500 Fine

, Policemen Robert Dyas and A. A
Meiklejohn of No. precinct testi-
fed today they saw Bailey writing
numbers with another man in the
street near his home The police
men said they found about S. in
quarters in Bailey's pockets and
more than a score of 25-cent num-
oers plays" penciled on a pad.
Bailey told the court he had found
the pad on the street and was try
ing to explain the way numbers are
written" to his companion. Asked
about the quarters in his pockets, he
said he earned the money doing
odd jobs
Judge Nelson, however, held there
was too much coincidence" in the
quarters and the entries.
You are a detriment to the COM
munity," the judge told Bailey, land
the only way to stop people like you
is to send you to Jail"
