WaveringYoungBandit
Frighten Woman but
Fails to Borr ow Cash
Mrs. Esther Warmer
Victim of Unusual
Robbery Effort
Holdup Man Hurriedly
Departs as Police
are Notified
An amateur bandit . with
small, black pistol went out to
"borrow" money at 8:30 o'clock
last night and fell down on bis
Job, but not until be bad almost
driven Mrs. Esther Wariner, 564
Highland avenue, grocery opera
tor, into bystecics and aforded po
lice considerable clues to one ot
the oddest robbery attempts in
Salem in many a day.
With gun In hand, the holdup
man entered Mrs. Wariner's store
and calmly told her he bad to
"borrow .some money from her;"
. No. demand was made that the
store owner hold up her 'hands or
push over the money. ,-
Whereupon Mrs. Wariner re
plied that she would "have to ask
her husband" and retreated to
tooms back of the store where
she and her husband live.
- The robber thereupon laid his
gun oh a counter and proceeded
to ; walk nervously around the
store.
Refuses "Loan" and
That is About That
Mrs. Wariner, returning, told
the; intruder that she couldn't
"loan" any money and suggested
that he take himself away and try
another grocery on Fifth street.
"No, he wouldn't loan me any
thing," was the reply.
Whereupon Mrs. Wariner reach
ed for the telephone and the un
certain Intruder made tor the
street without so much as going
through the cash register or
searching Mrs. Wariner.
: By that time she was so frantic
with fear, that city police had dif
ficulty making out her call. She
repeatedly referred to "the
church," meaning the Friends
church on Highland avenue which
the store adjoins.
Police rushed to the scene to
find Mrs. Wariner hysterical, un
able for a few minutes to tell what
bid occurred.
She finally described the holdup
man as 18 to 21 years old, five
feet, eight Inches in height, with
dark hair, and a mustache "about
the size of a pencil." She said be
wore a tan-colored leather coat
and light trousers and a cap. She
described bis eyes as dark and
small. He wore no mask.
Escapade Decidedly
Amateurish, Agreed
Police were certain last night
that the attempted holdup was-the
: work of some local youth, hard up
for money and uncertain how to
proceed. Two suspects were taken
before midnight but Questioning
failed to connect either of them
with the holdup and Mrs. Wariner
waij unable to identify eitfler
youth aa the one who bad attempt
ed to "borrow" money from her.
The night before Mrs. Wariner

register when the day's business
closed. She had some funds last
night although police did not
learn the exact amount. Mr. War-

abled British steamer TJsworth
were lost during rescue opera

lost.
NEW YORK, Dec. 14.-fl-
The gripping story of how eight
seamen lost their lives In a drama
of bravery and death on the gale-
lashed North Atlantic was told
over the wireless waves tonight
by a valiant Belgian skipper.
In terse but striking phrases,
Captain Sadie Gonthier of the S.
Jean Jadot described the trag
ic climax to his attempt to res
cue crew and member of the dis
tressed British freighter Usworta
n a single lifeboat that capsized
in the crashing seas.
"One big wave- capsized the
boat and all occupants," he wire
lessed the Associated Press. "We
lost two men plus six from TJs
worth." ,
The Jean Jadot had two sur
vivors and the Southampton-
bound S4. S. Ascania, which
stood by at the scene of the res
cue attempt and sprayed oil into
the mountainous waves, took off
eighteen-others.
A gale of "hurricane force
that parted the two ships tor 10
hours and shifted the Belgian's
cargo balkd attempts to tow the
Ls worth, helpless with a smash
ed steering gear.
Then, with the storm still rag'
ing, 10 volunteers from the Jean
Jadot put out in a boat for the
British freighter.
The life boat, after a terrific
fight with the wind and sea.
reached the side of the Usworth.
But as she took aboard eight
men, she swung afoul of the car
go derricks and drifted into the
path of a huge wave.
All hands were spilled Into the
sea. The Ascania took oil the
remaining survivors.

at a farmhouse where he had
sought food. He attempted to
flee but halted at the crack of a
posseman's gun.
The fugitive convict, classed by
the government as one of : its
most desperate Imprisoned, crim
inals, first denied his Identity.
He finally admitted, when con
fronted by his photograph, that
he was the hunted man and ap
peared relieved that the strain of
dodging posses was over.
"I kept out of sight as much
as possible, he told snerlil
George A. Henderson of Contra
Costa county, "but I had to come
out for food occasionally. I suf
fered most from the cold and
wet."
Stadlg broke away from a d
puty United States marshal, who
was bringing him back to Alca
tras and leaped from the train
at Richmond, near here. He fled
into the night. He disclosed after
his capture that he had not been
