Show BOLD BOY BURCLARS. They Level a Pistol at an Aged Xady and Rummage Her Shop. Memphis, Tenn., Oct. 28. "Take what you wants Jim; gwine ter shoot dat 'ouian ef she moves." ' This was the bold remark made by a small negro as he leveled a pistol on Mrs. Mary Cody, who keeps a grocery on Saflarans street, in Chelsea. He had his partner with him, and he ordered him to till his pockets, while he held the female keeper at bay with his gun. This occurred in broad daylight, only a short while before noon. Both of the bovs had on knee breeches. After they had loaded their pockets with such things as they could conceal, and after robbing the cash drawer of about 85, they backed out of the grocery and lied. Mrs. Cody witnessed the entire proceeding, but was unable to do anything. |
