The robbery was unusually daring, as Weaver's store is only a short way from the police station. I Tho bandit did not ride td the place In an automobile, according to the custom of modern robbers. He walked ; to and from his work. ( Quietly entering Weaver's store while the proprietor was counting the money In the cash register, the bandit said: "You can give me that." Ills revolver was pblntlng at weaver, who made no objection when the man seized the money nnd thrust It Into his pocket. Although where woro many persons passing In the street, tho robber acted so quietly that no one saw him except Weaver. Barller yesterday, bandits rode to the jewelry store of Walter Zaureiewskl, 3104 Kensington avenue, locked the Jeweler's wife In tho cellar and carried off gems valued at $18,702.
