holdup man told him to do. And
the robber came off second best
financially.
Here's how:
A man entered Frank Dona-
tucci's cab last night and told the
driver to take him to Tenth and
Brown streets. Before they
reached that spot, the man pro-
duced a pistol and told Mr. Dona-
tucci, This is a holdup."
At Tenth and Brown he ordered
the driver to hand over his wallet.
Mr.. Donatucci did so. The robber
told MI. Donnatucci to get back
in his cab and drive away. Again
the driver complied.
At police headquarters, Mr.
Donatucci reported the wallet
contained his drivers license and
personal papers. All his money
was in his pockets.
