IGHTING ROBBER
Randolph Street Bakery Em
ploye Gives His Life Guarding
$1100 on Last Night on Job
CASH UNDER LIFELESS BODY
A lone automobltq bandit shot and
instantly killed a fifty-clght-year-old
bakery manager last night when the
man put up a fight to save $1100 of
his employer's money which ho was
counting.
Thn shot was fired after the man
ager had recovered from the stunning
effects of a crack on tho head and was
getting tho better of the Intruder. The
assailant escaped, but the loot for
which he had ,fought was found under
the dead manager, the bills stained
with the blood he had given to defend
them.
Tho attack occurred in the store of
the Sacta Bakery Co., 1117 South
Itandolph street.
, Morris Raiser, the manager and
bookkeeper, who was killed, was round
ing out tho last day o his employment
at the shop, having determined to quit
and take another position offered him.
Raiser lived at 1820 South Sixth street.
He had a wife and five children.
Bandit Has PaVincr
Twelve men were working in the
bakery when the attack and attempted
robbery occurred, but Ilmscr was the
only person in the front store nnd
office section. Several persons saw the
big wine-colored limousine drive up
and stop a short distance nwny from
the bakery. One man got out and en
tered tho shop, whilo another stayed
at the driver's post. The engine was
kept running.
Shortly after the bandit enteral the
bakery loud screams were heard.
Charles Solick, 2058 Orkney street, and
Max Math, 1M57 North, Newkirk street,
employes, burst into the rear of the
office in time to sec Raiser, blood
streaming from n wound in his fore
head, struggling across the floor with
the intruder and then fall dead as the
bandit placed his revolver to the uiun
acer's heart and shot.
Pausing but a moment to see that
Raiser was past helping, the two men
ran after the fleeing bandit, calling for
beln as thev ran. Solick nnd Math
were hardly twenty feet away from the
big limousine when the bandit dived
into the rear seat' nnd the driver started
rapidly away. There was no license
tag on the rear.
The two employes pursued the auto
for half n block, but it turned into
Federal street and they were rapidly
distanced. No other machine was
at hand in which to give chase, and
the bandit and his pal made a cleau
getaway. Math says the s1ner wai
about five feet eight inches tall, weighed
nbout 150 pounds and was bmootli
hhaven. ,
Detectives Heeneke, Pagilotti, Rago
and Hardlmon, of the Seventh nnd Car
penter streets police btntion, are work
ing on the case, but so far have accom
plished little. Meager descriptions from
three different persons vary so much
tlmr liev nro unable to tell what sort
of automobile the bandits used.
The bakery is situated in an isolated
part of Randolph street, there being
few houses in the neighborhood.
Police believe the bnndit and his com
panion were thoroughly familiar with
the workings of the Sacta firm. The at
tack was planned nt a time when it
would net the maximum of cash, if suc
cessful. All the wagons of the firm
were in nt the time, aud the drivers had
turned over the day's receipts to
Raiser.
Man Instantly Killed
r.TnmlnntInn of the dead man showed
that tho wound on his head had been
caused bv being struck by some blunt
weapon, probnbly the butt end of the
revolver. The bullet had killed him in
stnntly, snid physicians nt the Mount
