snid Mildred Deifitz. twelve yenrs old,
.1(0:1 North Randolph street, today to
the police of the fiermantown nvenuc

she told the police on Monday about
two masked men who, she said, entered
the home on Monday nnd bound nnd
gagged her and her little eight-jear-old
neighbor. Carmen l.nmastro, nnd tied
them to the bedposts and then ran nwav
