The three were shot thev had raided a Harlem dice probably fatally wounded after liy police as they attempted to ea cspe after lining seventy men against a wall and collecting aev era! thousand dollars In money and Jewelry. Truck robber last night entered the Wilder and Agee clothing store, and looted the place of merchan dise valued at more than $1,500. Suits, shirts, underwear, ahoea, and many other artlclea of clothing; were taken in wholesale lota, and carried away In an automobile, the robbers secured a small amount of cash from the money drawer. News of the robbery and a descrip tion of the stolen goods have been broadcast through the state, and of ficers hope to locate the thieves. Thla la the second time the cloth ing store has been robbed thla year, and the ninth time since the business has been established. Be cause of the location, the dark al ley In the rear, and the eaae with which the building can he entered the store offers an easy mark for robbers, and (oases In late years have been very heavy. It is evident that last nlght'a crime was committed by two men, both small In alse, and experienced In their work. They reached the roof by means of a small ahed on the northwest corner and then broke out a pane of the skylight. A knotted, quarter-Inch hemp rope was swung from the roof Into the atore building, and they evi dently dropped through by means of the rope, about ten feet long, to table from which thev could easily reach the floor. It Is Indicated that they were In the store room for a considerable period of time, as the goods taken were carefully sorted for alies. Tracks were found where they backed their car up to the rear entrance of the building, and in the ashes the prints of their feet were plainly found, showing where they had made several trips, back and forth, carrying out the loot which they had gathered up Inside the building. They took thirty or more suits of clothea, sizes 36, 3? and 38, snd several pairs of shoes, site 7. Two plies of allk shirts were removed, the sixes being 141. The men also took four dozen pairs of gloves, several aweater coats, ladles' silk hose, two auto robes, hata and caps, four suits of pajamas, neckties, socks, suspenders, belts, and other artlclea of clothing. Naturally the proprletora are unable to say de finitely how much has been taken, but from what they have checked the loss will run well over $1,000. Two auspicious looking charac ters were noticed yesterday In the vicinity, of the store, and a good description of them was obtained and given the officers, and an ef fort la being made to locate them. A description of the goods stolen Is also being sent broadcast through the state. Officers feel that It la possible that the robbery was performed by the companlona of Lee Duncan, who Is now confined to the peni tentiary for participation in a num ber of robberlea In this city. When Duncan visited the city In the spring he robbed the Wilder and Agee store.
