ey at COME TOBY BUTTER BUT PULL GUN ROB GROCER Police Believe They Belong to Chain Store Hold- Up Gang. ~ Charles Anderson, the manager of 0 Roulston grocery store at No, 062 Wythe Avenue, Brooklyn, which is at ‘the corner of Rose Street, was about to close the place at 1 o'clock this ‘afternoon, while he was absent an hour at luncheon, He was going toward the door when two well dressed young men entered. “Not too late for something?"' asked one. y“No, I'll wait on you,"’ replied An- “What do you want?" “Only a pound of buttér,” an- mourced the customer and Anderson tured and walked back to the ice box. As he stooped and picked up o ‘wooden container in which to put the butter the san who had followed him remarke?: “Jupst keep on walking.’ Anderson felt womething shoved in- fo his back, khow it was the muszlé uf a revolver and continued on into the back room. “Now take a seat and behave your- welf and nething is going to happen to you,"* admonished the man with the gun. Anderson did as directed. He could hear the man in the store open the cash drawer of the rogister; also his expression of disapproval when he found only $43.80. The man ‘aking care of the manager asked him where the money was, “The collector was here at noon and took everything but my moncy to make change,’’ answered Anderson truthfully. With a final injunction to stay where he was the pair left the man- ager and walked out of the store. Around the corner on Ross Street a third man waited with an automobile into which the pair sprang as it started off. Anderson's description of the men, « actording to the police of the Clymer { | Street Station, fits that of the pair who have held up several chain stores in the Williamsburg district within a few weeks. — ey MOTHER AND FIVE CHILDREN DIE IN OIL STOVE EXPLOSION.
