Last Monday morning a very young Greek named Demetrius Maropoulos, without a gun attempted to hold up and reb Miss Rosa Chiesa of a portofolio containing about $400.

Miss Chiesa is a cashier of Raklios & Co., 1737 S. Wabash Ave. The alleged attempt was made near the First National Bank, where the young lady went to deposit the money.

The young Greek attempted to snatch the portofolio containg the money, when Miss Chiesa screamed. Police officers pursued the fleeing culprit and arrested him after firing several shots. The youthful criminal stated that he had been out of work for three months, and being unable to find an honest, position he decided to commit a crime.
