Morissette said he managed to slip $750 from his pocket and stuff it behind the seat cushion in his car. "They searched us down to the skin, but we didn't have a dime," Morissette said. "I told them we had lost all our cash in a gambling joint." As the gunmen searched them, the two salesmen talked fast, "selling them" on the idea that they were broke. Finally, as the robbers were about to let them go, Morissette asked for carfare. One gunman gave them 50c and another handed them a dollar, saying "Take a cab."
