To the police, however, he showed neither inventory, stock book, nor bills of sale, The two men walked into the place at about 2:30, according to the re- port. They pointed revolvers at the men in the room and ordered “Hands up.” Then they ranged the men along the wall furthest from the safe, and one of the men pulled up the blinds over the window so their opera- tions could not he observed from across the street. A few minutes later Miss Fanny Edison, who works with her father in the place, returncd. She found a chain on the door. “They took the chain off, grabbed hold of me and pulled me inside,"” said the young woman later. “One of them sald: ‘Now you be a good girl and we won't hurt yon. But if you ain't we'll shoot the place up. ™ All Bound to Chairs. While one man covered the five men and the woman the other robber passed down the line, ordering each man to lower his hands, and then ty- ing them together. Then each was given a chair and his feet tied to the ‘hair altogether a thoroughly work- manlike job. “Where did they get Miss Edison was asked. They had a package. One of them threw it on the floor. It had the cord in it, and the bandages they put over our mouths later.” When they had the whole party safely tled and gagged the two riflea the safe. They left in one ring tray a lot of empty ring settings, and, by an oversight, one diamond ring. As they proceeded one of the pair re- marked: “We've been waiting to get proposal the cord?” this place for seven months and nuwl we've got it." George Stern, 787 East Tremont avenue, was relleved of diamonds val- ned at $270. The robbers missed his cash, about $25, because one of the ropes closed the pocket in which he carried it.
