Robbers Steal Payroll From Roosevelt Hospital
Five men robbed the Roosevelt Hospital payroll on Fifty-ninth street, stealing part of a 24000 payroll after overpowering two employees in the cashier’s office. The heist left 10000 unpaid and sparked a widespread search as lookouts and a parked car aided the escape. Dr. James I. Russell, senior surgeon at the hospital, has long been associated with its management.
