Two Duel on Macy's Sidewalk Highlights Old Mob Era Feud
On a crowded New York City sidewalk outside Macy’s, two aging criminals from past Prohibition gangs dueled with gun and knife. Sol Girsch, 58, a Schultz mob enforcer, and Sam Kramer, 60, a veteran horse thief and former big‑time holdup man, were wounded as bystanders watched. Both refused to speak to police, trading taunts of squealer and double crosser amid shattered hopes of past glory.

Runaway 1955 Chevrolet Frights Hebron Town
Three year old Stephen Ford rode away in a running car in Hebron Maryland causing fear and property damage. Carl Pollitt Jr stopped the vehicle after smashing a car window and turning off the ignition. Damaged items included Town Commissioner Roland Smiths car and his insurance office building. The mother, wife of a Methodist minister, left Stephen in the post office to run an errand. The crowd watched as the car circled, hit a building and triggered a fire alarm. The incident ended with the child unharmed and authorities describing it as remarkable.
