Epidemic Of
HoId-Ups Hit
East Cleveland

Four hold-ups in East Cleveland
in five days is a record-and while
police are working on three of the
cases, conscience brought in one
a first offender.
Harry Showalter, %, of Lam
caster, Pa, unemployed, told po-
lice II was hungry and broke
when he held up Sam Marcus at
the Standard Oil Co. station, 14768
Euclid ave. He got $125.00 there
March 18th.
Charged with robbery, he was
bound over to await the action of
the grand jury by Judge Stanton
Adams Tuesday morning.
In the meanwhile the East Cleve-
land detective bureau are continu-
ing their search for two men who
held up the Albright Coal Co., 1865
Lakeview rd. at 3:15 p. m. March
18th; the two men who held up
the Gilbert Beverage Co., Euclid
at Superior at 9 p. m. March 18th;
and four men who stuck up the

company with relative with whom
he has been making his home here
recently, told police that after buy
ing dollars worth of gas at the
station, he went to the wash room.
AS he came out he saw Mr.. Marcus
making out reports. Poking his
hand into his pocket he demanded
money. Marcus turned over $125.
The car, a 1850 convertible Buick,
belonged to Harold Goldstein, hus-
band of Mrs. Wynn Cochran Gold
stein, Showalter's cousin, who had
permitted him to use it.
Showalter then proceeded to his
relatives home, by a roundabout
route, told them not to use the
car for a few days since it was out
of order. He then proceeded to en-
train for New York City. Here he
took tour of the town, but his
conscious troubled him and he re-
turned to Cleveland early Monday
morning. Calling his cousin, he told
her what he had done and she ac-
companied him to the police sta
ton.
The young man added that he
was married, has a two year old
child and is separated from his
wife. He served with the US troops
during World War II, and had not
been able to get work here. He
was not armed at the time of the
hold-up, his first offense he told
police.
Ernie Peters, 1906 Ardenal ave-.
manager of the East Cleveland
yard Of the Albright Coal Co. told
police two men entered his office

dren entered the picture at the
Splitter Poultry hold-up in which
four men took part.
Melvin Splitter, 90, of 1917 East
62nd ST., owner, and his helper,
Harold Galloway, 81, of 1913
North blvd, n. E. were in the
store when the first two robbers
came in. They ordered the men
into the wash room and, as two
workers entered the shop, they
tied Galloway's arms behind him
with a rope, and Spitzer's arm in
back Of him with an apron and
then tied both to the wall in the
wash room.
AS the other two men were clean
, ing out the cash register of 1925,
the customers entered. Mrs. Mary
Walker of 1905 Vassar ave., Harry
V. Turner Of 1712 Hartshorn rd.,
and his son, Russell, 4; and Mr.. and
Mrs. Robert C. Brownlee and their
son, Robert jr. 6, of 1929 Rozelle
ave. They were herded in a back
room.
Mrs. Walkers husband, Grant,
who remained in the family car
while his wife went to purchase
the chickens, gave police a des-
cription of the car in which the
robber quartet got away. A check
revealed the car had been stolen
that day from Arthur Began, 2200
East 69th st. who had reported the
missing car to Cleveland police.
/ When the robber tied the Brown
lees and Mr.. Turner, their young
son started to cry. Turning to him
with a command to keep still, the
heartless robber further frightened
the boy by searching him.
Mr.. Brownlee would appreciate
the return of the personal effects
from his wallet, perchance they
were discarted by the thieves and
then found by someone else.
Police have descriptions of these
robbers, also. One of them carried
a coat on his left arm, using a part
of it to keep his face partially
covered.
At the Cigarette Service Co.
offices, attempts had been made to
jimmy the door before entrance
was gained through a window on
the East 133rd st. side of the build
ing. The robber got 1924 from the
cash register, but failed to open a
safe, or move it. A two-wheeled
hand truck left standing near the
safe indicated the robbers may
have planned to move the safe. On
March 7th an attempted entrance
into the same office failed.
