Cook Takes Long Chance
And Defies HoIdup Man

CINCINNATI. - A 34-year-old
hotel cook took "a long chance" and
refused to give up his money-even
at the point Of a gun.
The chance paid off. He kept his
money and the alleged holdup man
was jailed.
The intended holdup victim was
Robert Pohlman of neighboring Cow
ington, KY.
He told police a young Negro ac-
costed him as he was walking
across an Ohio River bridge from
Covington to Cincinnati.
HE pulled a pistol and said:
Give me your money or I'll
Shoot" Pohlman said. 81 told him
he was crazy and I kept walking"
The holdup man. apparently
angered over Pohlman's failure
to obey him, fired a shot into
the air and repeated his demand.
Pohlman still refused and ran
to the center of the bridge where
he tagged down Bridge Patrolman
John Waring, who was coming on
his motorcycle to investigate the
shooting.
When the alleged gunman, later
identified as Odel Murphy, 10. Gin
cinnati, saw Waring, he fled, but
the patrolman took him into custody
a short distance from the bridge.
Later, Pohlman told newsmen:
"I just got mad when he asked
for my money but, now that l
think it over. I believe I took a
long chance"

Woman Spy Repaid
For Betrayal Of 100
Italians in Wartime

ROME, Jan. 20 (CDN.-A sultry
Mata Hari who sold her Italian
countrymen down the river to the
Nazis now Is in a Rome hospital re-
covering from q severe beating. 1t
was administered to her by an en-
ragged group of women in this citys
ghetto.
Celeste di Porto-called the Black
Panther-had returned to the scene
of her crime almost five years after
she marked more than 100 Italians
for death by brutal Nazi execution.
Most of those she picked were Jew
ish residents of that section of the
city where the Tiber River bends.
The Black Panther was eating in
restaurant when she was recog-
nized.
A young Jewish girl named Fiorina
di Segni thought this was familiar
face.
Have a drink with me, Celeste
she invited.
When Celeste showed obvious
alarm, Florina, whose brother had
died in a Nazi concentration camp,
left to spread the news Of the
Black Panther's return.
Women Launch Attack.
Women whose husbands and sons
had died because of her treachery
ganged up on her. They slapped
her, tore hanks of hair from her
head, bruised her face and ripped
of her shoes. They told her this
was only small repayment tor be-
traying her own people.
1t all happened on March %,
1914. A street cleaners cart came
down a Rome street. A man with a
broom swept up leaves and pieces of
paper. Inside the cart were 80
pounds of explosives.
This was the hour when IS troops
always marched down the street.
When they neared the cart, fuse
was lighted.
Grenades were thrown from near
by buildings. There was tremen-
dous explosion. Thirty-two Nazis
were blown to bits.
Spies on Own People.
Celeste di Porto, acting as spy
against her own people, was court
ing favor with the German high
command. She was present when 1t
was suggested the 800 Italians
10-to-1 ratio-be executed for the
explosion. She said she knew the
right Jews to pick. The Nazis gave
her a free hand.
1t was agreed that she should
walk down ghetto street, SIS troops
discreetly following.

a tie, or because she felt detected.
Celeste went to prison for q time
but was saved permanent imprison-
ment because she asked freedom in
order to become a nun. She has
been out of the public eye for about
three years.
Why she chose to return to the
neighborhood where she had con-
demned so many italians to death
and deportation is unknown. But
it was certainly a mistake.
