A RECENT STICK-UP

After an epicurean dinner, Professor Fordney and several of his cronies were seated in the lounge of the club.

“Now then,” said the criminologist, “if you crime fans insist on having me give you a criminal case in which there is only one error, here you are.” He handed the following newspaper clipping to Charles Winters, a well-known business man of Danbury.

PARKED DRIVER SLAIN AT SIDE OF WOMAN FRIEND

OPENS SEDAN WINDOW TO GUNMAN’S TAP, IS SHOT BEFORE GETTING HANDS UP

A man tapped on the closed window of a car in which Joseph Candora, a highway contractor’s helper, from Bridgeport, Conn., and Mrs. Rose Worth, a telephone operator, of 62 East 127th Street, were sitting early yesterday morning at 187th Street and Riverside Drive. Candora raised the window and the man, a stranger to Mrs. Worth, thrust a pistol through the aperture and announced it was a stick-up.

Candora, Mrs. Worth said later, made no move to resist the gunman, but the intruder, almost as he made his announcement, pressed the trigger of his weapon. The bullet struck Candora in the throat and he fell forward, fatally wounded. Detectives of the Wadsworth Avenue police station believe it was a deliberate murder. The killer got into another automobile, in which two men awaited him, and was driven away. Mrs. Worth raced down the drive, screaming.

Winters read intently after which he snorted, “That’s easy, Professor.”
