Robber Spares Nervy Man.
Isaac Pressman, tailor at 5505 Woodland Avenue, Cleveland, Ohio, was awakened at four a. m. by the gleam of a flash light on his face.
When he sat up in bed he found the flash light had been switched so as to shine on his trousers hung over the back of a chair. In the shaft of light he saw a hand searching the pockets.
Pressman leaped from bed and grappled with the burglar. In the struggle the burglar seized Pressman’s revolver from the bureau and ordered hands up.
"You’ve got nerve," the intruder said, "so I won’t shoot you. But you should have got the gun before you jumped me."
Then he disappeared with the gun and a pocketbook containing fourteen dollars.
