Inquirer: “FOUR AUTO BANDITS ROB ONE-ARMED MAN OF $4000.
“Jewelry
Taken From Crippled Victim Near His Home.
“A
one-armed man was held up by four men in a motor and robbed of jewelry valued
at $4000 within a half block of his home at midnight. The victim is Bernard
Connor, 3624 Hamilton street, owner of a fertilizing business at Twenty-sixth
and York streets. The hold-up was at Thirty-seventh and Hamilton streets.
“Connor
looked over his shoulder when he heard the motor approaching. He saw it slow
down, and three men jumped out. With his only arm, his right, he struck and
knocked down the lending man.
“The
others drew revolvers and threatened their victim.
“One
of them snatched a diamond stickpin from Connor's necktie, another took off a
diamond ring and the third went through his vest pockets and found a gold
watch. They did not bother with his wallet which contained $45.
“The
highwaymen left in their car and Connor ran along Hamilton street until he
stopped a motor and persuaded the driver to give chase. The two machines sped
out to Fortieth and Baring streets where the bandits' car eluded the pursuing
one” (Inquirer, March 1, 1921)
