BRNK MESSINGER IS
ROBBED JI ELEVATOR
NEW YORK, Dec. 26.—As Charles
Si hatton. a messenger for the State
Bank, entered the loft building at No.
3 Washington Place yesterday noon,
carrying a bag containing $5,000 in
cash, two men followed him, as the
door of the elevator opened they push
! cd into the car with him.
i As the car neared the fourth floor,
■ tin? men suddenly drew revolvers
from their overcoats and covered
Stratton and the operator, making
ti.e latter stop the elevator when it
reached the floor. Here one of the
men opened the door, while the other
! grabbed the. money bag from Scrat-
: i tron and threw it into the corridor,
j Then the men shut the door and
.’ forced the operator to raise the car
J until it was half way to the fifth
- 1 floor.
; There it was halted, and the hold
: -up men tied the bank messenger and
- >ne operator with ropes they produced
-!,fiom beneath thetr coats. Having
v, trussed the pair firmly, the robbers
I.' ran the car to the fifth uoor, stopped
it, got out, slammed the door after
e them and ran down the stairs of the
:, building.
f! Scrattorn wriggled out of his fasten
i. lings and ran the elevator to ths
1 F.r. ~Mut.id.Js t IN.. -rttWKDER
ground floor. Then he raced into the
street and caught sight of his as
sailants, one running north, the other
south. The messenger followed- the
nearest man to Eighth street, shout
ing for help. Neither man had the
money' bag.
Patrolman O’ Connor of the Traffic
Squad hear Scrattron’s cries and took
up the chase. The fugiitve darted into
a building at No. 10 East Eighth
street. A search revealed him hid
| ir.g in a washroom on the top floor.
■ Lying in the room, O'Connor said, was
I a revolver. Schrattron identified the
| man as one of the pair who held him
j up, and the prisoner was taken to
I Police Headquarters.
Detectives searched the building
at No. 3 Washington Place, but were
unable to find the money bag. "They
beleved, then, three men were involv
ed in the hold-up, the third a con
federate stationed on the fourth floor
to receive the bag as it was tossed.
The man who was arrested de
scribed himself as Joseph Salvatore,
twenty-four, of No. 35 Watts street.
Scattron had spent the morning col
lecting and distributing money for
