HOW III IM STORE V!#t i-.-'.VV' -V» Night. .v .ft .*/•?»-sis .-••'k-'.Vv'SH Grocery Store of Ham Inman, 1611 Blondeaui Robbed by Three Colored Men Last FORCED TO OPEN SAFE Inman Forced at Point of Gun to Open and urn Over Money- Arrests Are Made. One of the most daring hold-ups ever recorded in local police history occurred last evening when three col ored men entered a grocery store in the residence district of the city, and at the point of a gun forced the pro prietor of the store to unlock his safe and hand over money, checks, and stamps, the total value of which reached close to flOO.OO. The robbery occurred at 9:46 yes terday evening at a grocery store owned by Mlam Inman, 1611 Blon deau street. Mr. Inman was in the back end of his store putting things in readiness for closing up for the night when three colored men walked in the front door. One of the men remained in the front while the other two walked back to a show case in the center of the store and looked in the case as if they wished to make a purchase. Mr. Inman walked up be hind the case to wait on the men. "What will you have?" asked Mr. Inman, of one of the men, having at this time no suspicions whatever of their purpose. Before an answer could be made the man in the front of the store blew out one of the lamps which left burning only one small oil lamp in the store, giving a meagre light. Mr. Inman bad not seen the light blown out and not until he turned to the two men in front of him and saw that one of them was leveling a large revolver at his face was he aware of what the men had entered the store for. "Get yer hands up," commanded the negro who was holding the gun, and Inman lost no time in complying with the demand. "Now git around there and unlock that safe.''' As this was said the negroes came around behind the counter and watch ed Inman unlock the safe which was behind that counter. While one ne gro leveled the gun at his head the other kneeled down beside him on the floor while Inman worked the. combin ation with nervous fingers. When the safe door came open Inman was forced to band over to one of the robbers the valuables that were in the safe while the other did guard duty with the re volver. The third negro remained in the front of the store and maintained a "lookout" on the street in front of the store. As soon as the valuables in the safe had been turned over to the robbers they made a hurried departure without a word to the owner of the store. The men turned to the right on leaving the Btore and went out to ward the Plank road, according to In man who was somewhat confused by this time. As soon as the men had departed, Inman called the police station by telephone and notified Chief Kenney of the robbery. Chief Kenney and Detective Wilson went at once to the store and started working on the case. By 3 o'clock this morning the officers had made five arrests of suspicious characters. Two of these five are be ing detained by the police and Chief Kenney said today that he believed the two men being held were implicat ed In the robbery. Neither one had on his person any of the stolen goods, but it is believed that the third, whose arrest is "expected soon, 1b now trying to dispose of the stolen money and valuables. Mr. Inman was unable to make a positive identification of the two men held as the store was very poorly lighted while the robbery waa being made. He is practically sure, however, from their size and the Bound of their voices that the two men now held by the police were two of the three who entered his store last night. The complete list of valuables Uut en follows: Three checks on local banks for a total sum of $14.80. $73.80 in cash. Three old Columbian half dollars. 200 pennies. 100 one cent stamps, and 50 two cent stamps. Payment on the checks at local banks was stopped early this morning when the banks opened so that there is no danger of a loss on this account. Wife Succeeds Husband.
