Wynn said he was alone in his home and asleep after re turning from a Florida vaca tion when he heard a voice ask ing "where is your money:" "I was sure that it was a gun pressing against my stomach," the husky doctor said. He esti mated its position and "grab bed for both the gun and the man." The two men lurched around, the room in a deadly struggle. Then the gun went off, missing the doctor, and he relaxed his grip. The burglar slugged him and Wynn "went down dazed." Wrists Bound "At this point my wrists were bound and ankles taped," he said. "The robber then rolled me over on my face and told me Tm going to use these pliers on your fingers until you tell me Where the rest of the money is. He tried to get a grip on my thumbnails but the pliers slip ped off. Then he started work ing on the flesh of my fingers. It felt as if he was pinching the flesh off my hands. "I told him 'I make a living with these hands if I had any money in the house I'd tell you where it was. But I don't have any'." The gunman finally gave up his torture and left.
