Boy Blames Yuletide In Hold Up
Floyd Walker 21 of 160 Cottonwand avenue confessed his role in a street car holdup on Christmas Eve as he lay wounded and captured. He said the plan was to steal during a holiday so he could avoid a cheerless Christmas. Det. Sgt. Kelly and officers reported he and an accomplice, Harold Williamson 31, were identified by the victim. Williamson was arrested at his home about two hours after the attempted robbery. Walker recounted the events from detective headquarters, noting he did not intend to kill the motorman and turned and fled when shots were fired. He described meeting his friend at a drill store days earlier and the pair’s prior theft of a motor man’s cash. Walker said the robbery netted $2.50 and that he spent part on a haircut and shoe shine. He questioned if he would be released for Christmas and said he would need an attorney.
