Robbery at Oswald Farm Strikes Quiet Long Island Town
A Sunday morning raid at the Oswald farmhouse on Jericho turnpike near Mineola Westbury, New York, saw two or three men in a red racing automobile abduct farmhand Herman Schwerter. They chloroformed him with chloral, bound him, and forced him to reveal the safe’s location before escaping with $1,000 in cash and jewelry worth about $500. The attackers used a pickax to break the safe wall and fled in their low long-racing runabout.
