Rubin, he says, felt his wallet leaving his hip pocket to go with them. He turned and saw the men | Making for the exit. In the wallet ime Were four $50 Liberty Bonds, a check | for $25 and $25 in cash, so Rubin forced the side door of the car back a far enough to squeeze out again. In the effort his top coat was torn and One leg of his new, trousers split. When he got to the surface, the young clerk says, he saw two men running west in 125th Street. Running after them, Rubin saw them turn south in Seventh Avenue. When he Bot to the.corner they were climbing into a taxicab at 124th Street. +, Rubin hailed another cab and gave wbhase. It overtook the first cab. Rubin leaped out of No. 2 and found No. 1 empty. He walked up Seventh Avenue. At 123d Street, he says, he » Tecognized his two men going in the * game direction. He grabbed them, but they broke and ran, one east in 124th Street and the other north in Seventh Avenue. The owner of the missing $250 followed a man he says Was the latter into the front and out of the side door of a barber’ shop at Geventh Avenue and h Street. eq Running south in se e@galn, wit ubin in pu “Stop thief!” the fugitive is’ sai have fallen into the arms of Detec- tives ompe A Joe Walsh eniny because he had been jal of honor for bravery.
