At ten o'clock, just as the pair got back into their car, a youth jumped on the right running board, asked a tip for watching the car. Importer Gambinossi gave his companion a dime to hand him. "Cheap skate!" snarled the young man. Gambinossi got out. At once four other hoodlums jumped on him. All five gave him a severe beating. When he got away...
