was injured slightly by falling
plaster and a woman across the
street from the building was cut
by flying glass. No shoppers were
hurt and the store remained open
the rest of the shopping day—

Frank said that minutes before

proof that the $50,000 extortion
demand was in earnest.

in mathematics, lost $6 Wednes
