Bandits Strip And
Rob 18 Women
In Beauty Parlor
DALLAS, OP — A couple of ban
dits forced some 20 women to
strip, pistol-whipped one and re
duced the take at a reducing
salon by $150 Monday night.
“It was awful,” complained
manager Esther Ragland.
She said the young pair came
in just before closing time while
two women attendants and an es
timated 18 clients were present.
Mrs. Ragland said one of the
men “told us this was a holdup
and started pushing everybody
toward the back of the studio.”
“He hit one girl in the face
with his pistol. It laid her cheek
wide open. She (Mrs. Patsy
Flickert, 23, an attendant) made
some wisecrack when he shoved
her.”
She *said the gunman, snarling
death threats, forced the women
into a steam room, shut the door
and stood outside. He ordered
everyone to disrobe and throw
out the clothing.
He then ordered Mrs. Ragland,
still dressed, to the front office
and made her hand over all the
money.
“Then he marched me back to
the steam .room, opened the door
and shoved me inside. He came
right in with me and made me
take off my clothes.”
“It was terrible. All the ladies
were sitting on the benches with
out a stitch on. Everyone of
them was scared to death.” •
“He told us he’d kill the first
woman who opened the door. He
told us to stay inside 15 minutes.”
“We did.”
She said they came out, re
trieved their clothes and one
woman ran across the street to
call police.
Mrs. Ragland said the second
bandit stood around with a
pistol in his hand, but said little.
