An undisclosed amount of cash was stolen at 7:05 p.m. last night in an armed holdup at the Harvard Provision Company, 94 Mount Auburn Street.
George H. O'Brien, owner of the Provision, reported that a five foot eight inch man, about 35 years of age, entered his store shortly before 7 p.m. and ordered a bottle of rum and some Coca-Cola. James F. Mahoney, a clerk, went to a rear room for the Coca-Cola and upon emerging was stopped at the door by the customer, who partially displayed a silver steel revolver.
The gunman told Mahoney and O'Brien to stand still until the store was clear of customers. He then ordered them to stay in the rear room.
O'Brien rushed outside the store after the gunman left but failed to spot him.
