Grocery Store
In Wallace
Robert Swain Maready. proprietor
of the High School Grocery on
Hhrhwav 117 in Wallace was shut
up in the store's meat refrigerator
Monday morning Dy two men wno
scooped up about $1,625 from a cash
box on the counter before they ran
out of the store.
Maready. said he had gone to
the back of the small store to
Check something just after arriving
there, and when he turned around,
he was confronted by a man, about
25, who motioned to him to start
walking to the back of the store
again and stuck a pistol in his back.
As he "was walking, back, Mar
eady said, he noticed a second man
enter the store. ' The man with the
aim tank him to the meat cooler.
shoved him . in and slammed the
door of the cooler,. Maready said.
About 20 - minutes ' later; Gerald
Morton.'a delivery man for a Fay
etteville specialty concern entered
the store, and freed Maready from
the cooler after he heard the store
owner kicking the door.
Maready said he examined the
cash box, still on the counter, and
found that about $1,625 had been
taken. There was still some money
in the box and more money was
strewn on the floor, indication that
the men had hastily scooped up the
cash, Maready said.
uimriv said the two men had
been in the store at least four times
before. He said the one who stucx
the gun in his back was dark-hair-H
with a dark complexion. The
other man,' he said, was slightly
older, perhaps about so. :
Maready. and Morton notified lo
n.i notice, who later called the
State Bureau of. Investigation in on
the ease. ? " -.:v:-. i '
Asknd If he were not concerned
about being shut up in the meat
cooler, Maready said ne was not
much worried, as he knew someone
ru.ii mm into the store soon and
he could attract their attention. He
said the temperature in the refri
gerator was about 40 degrees. . .
Maready 's store is located near
the V, -;.uce Elementary School.
