Bad Hold Up at South Park Ends With Theft
Mrs Anna Watkins was assaulted in South Park while returning home with friend Mrs Tyler near 1324 Vermont street. A dark complected man grabbed her by the neck, dragged her toward the park, and stole her pocketbook containing about five dollars as bystanders misinterpreted the cries as children playing. A passing student finally alerted officers after Watkins urged for help. Police continue to search, with witnesses recalling the assailant as thick-set and colored.
