Armed holdup at Raisin's Market nets $20000 in Norwalk
An armed man stole $20,000 today during a holdup at Raisin's Market on Rosecrans Avenue Norwalk. The bandit, who knew the store layout, forced manager Jim Paperella and bookkeeper Grace Lewis to place cash in bags and fled north in a parked car after taking the money from the office safe. Meanwhile Senate Republicans show rising sentiment for Sen. McCarthy to step aside during Army probe while he demands cross examination rights for witnesses and Roy Cohn.
