A brazen attempt at robbery ended in chaos at Bernice Schultz’s beauty parlor on 516 Eighth Street N.E. in Washington D.C. on the evening of March 20, 1931. The unidentified perpetrator entered the shop, making a threatening gesture as though to pull a pistol from his pocket. But before he could act, Bernice Schultz let out a blood-curdling scream, sending the thief fleeing into the night. Madeline Eury, the shop’s proprietor, quickly chased after him, but he managed to escape. Witnesses describe the man as being in a state of panic, with no clear motive for the attempted robbery. The incident has left the community shaken, and authorities are urging anyone with information to come forward.
