REPORTS BEING ROBBED
Baltimore Jewelry Salesman Tells Police That Two Men Bound Him and Took Jewelry Valued at $1,000
Baltimore, Md., July 10.—Attacked, beaten and robbed, Arthur Fraidin, jewelry salesman employed by Rankin & Fox, jewelers, 319 N. Eutaw St., told detectives that he carried approximately $1,000 worth of jewelry when he left his employers’ office Friday afternoon. The jewelry and Fraidin’s jewelry case is missing. Fraidin told Detective Lieutenants C. F. Roche and A. S. Parr that he met two men one of whom had negotiated to buy a watch.
On Fremont Ave. Fraidin says he entered an automobile driven by the prospective customer. A few minutes after the salesman had taken a seat in the automobile the second man is alleged to have pressed a pistol to his side and directed that he keep quiet. Fraidin was taken to a lonely spot in Gwynn’s Falls Park where, he said, his ankles and wrists were bound with twine.
After his assailants left the scene, during broad daylight, Fraidin screamed for help. Citizens came to his aid and took him to the office of a physician. Later he was taken to the detective bureau and questioned by Detective Captain Charles H. Burns. Fraidin furnished a description of his alleged assailants to the police.

Two windows of the jewelry store of Rankin & Fox, Baltimore, Md., were broken by window smashers last week and jewelry valued at $400 was reported stolen. Discovery of the broken windows was made at 6 A. M. by Patrolman A. F. Kuegler, Western district, when he found two gold rings lying on the sidewalk a few yards from the Rankin & Fox store. Instinctively, Patrolman Kuegler hurried to the jewelry store window, where he discovered the alcove section of the windows broken and a number of trays missing from the window. The window had first been cut with a glass cutter. A padded brick was used to break in the glass. In the glass of each window flanking entrance to the store was an opening cut nearly 5 inches in diameter. Damage to the broken window was estimated at $300. Several weeks ago the show windows of the J. W. Mealy & Son Co., W. Lexington St., and that of S. & N. Katz, N. Charles St., were broken by window smashers and jewelry valued at nearly $1,000 was stolen.
