May 19, 1928 WINNETKA TALK 33 Evanston Youths Stage Series of Hold-Ups; Caught Climaxing a series of hold-ups in Wilmette, Winnetka and Kenilworth, last Sunday night two Evanston youths were arrested by Motorcycle officer Edgar Fellows of Kenilworth and arraigned on charges preferred by the police of the three villages and were bound over to the Grand Jury on bonds totaling $10,000. The pair, who gave their names as Michael Cenlin, 1835 Ashland avenue, Evanston, and Leo Nicholas Tock, 1828 Ashland avenue, Evanston, first made their appearance in Wilmette, driving a car owned by the Rent-A-Car com- pany of Evanston. Shortly before 11 o'clock, they held up George Cramer, 19, 1620 Wilmette avenue, and William Meyer, Wilmette avenue, at Tenth street and Green- wood avenue, Wilmette. Obtaining about $6 in cash they drove away, their two victims turning in the alarm to the Wilmette police, who in turn notified the police of neighboring Villages. Less than a half hour later, the pair appeared in Winnetka, holding up Helen Geissinger, 555 Sheridan road, on Elm street and taking a small amount of money. As they started their car, however, Officers C. F. Bishop and Ralph Ray- burn in a Winnetka police car arrived on the scene. Their attention was attracted by the similarity of the bandit car with the one described by the Wilmette police and almost immediately by Miss Geissinger. They started in pursuit, closely following the two youths for some distance, several shots being fired. In turning the corner at Orchard lane and Poplar street, however, the squad car skidded on loose gravel and smashed against the curb, bending an axle. Shortly thereafter, Officer Fellows of Kenilworth gave chase as they were speeding along a Kenilworth street at 65 miles an hour. Overtaking them, he placed them under arrest on the speed- ing charge. Returning to the Kenil- worth station, the Wilmette and Win- netka alarms were discovered and the police of these Villages notified. The youths were fined $50 and costs on the Kenilworth charge of speeding and then turned over to the Wilmette police. Pleading guilty to a charge of robbery with a gun they were bound over to the Grand Jury on $5,000 bonds. The Winnetka police en- tered similar charges and a similar dis- position of the case was made. A. G. KIESON DIES A. G.
