Heading: The Hollis Episode

Text: At 11:30 p. m. on December 11, 1974, Queen Hollis responded to a knock at her door. She was confronted by two men who inquired as to the whereabouts of her neighbor, Helen Richardson. Hollis directed them next door and watched as they accosted Richardson, who had just emerged from her home. Shortly thereafter, Hollis heard a second knock at her door and looked out her front window. One of the same two men, later identified as appellant Evans, purported to seek change for some money. When Hollis responded that she had no change, the two men kicked open her door, threatened her at gunpoint, and ultimately absconded with her money and certain medication which she possessed. [3] Both Richardson and Hollis later identified Evans as one of the two men involved in this incident. Miss Richardson indicated that she had previously met Evans socially and knew him as Papa. She stated that on the evening of the burglary, he had approached her, claimed to be interested in the whereabouts of her boyfriend, and then questioned her about Miss Hollis. She identified Evans' companion  never further identified or apprehended  as a man named Bob.
