Thursday, October 13, 1932 pg. 1 SHERMAN CLERK IS KILLED BY ROBBER Sherman - Howard Hall, 55, a clerk in a suburban grocery, was killed Tuesday night by an unmasked robber who fled after rifling the till of $50. Hall and Homer Glaze, another clerk, were preparing to close the store when the robber entered. After buying meat and eggs, he handed Glaze a dollar bill. As Glaze put it into the cash register, the man covered him with a pistol and took the money in the till. Hall protested at the holdup, whereon the robber kicked him and struck him on the head. Pushing the 2 employes in front of him, the bandit advanced toward the door. There he struck Hall again, knocking his glasses into the street. Hall grabbed for the man's hand and the robber fired 4 times, 3 of the shots striking Hall. He then attempted to fire at Glaze but the gun would not fire. The robber fled afoot but a group of small boys told police he entered a black sedan in which 2 other men were waiting. Hall died in a hospital soon after the shooting. His assailant was described as a small man, of light complexion, between 20 and 25 years old.
