Santini is accused of steaiing a $10 pistol from his landlord, William C. Vasques. After taking the pistol, po- lice say, Santini returned to Vasques’ residence in a taxicab driven by Lee Schmidt of the 900 block of G sf;ree.t. | t is Talking in a foreign language, claimed, Santini told Vasques that Schmidt, was the chief of a gang of gunmen, and by thus intimidating him, obtained' $20.
