Armed Robber Takes Morphine From Hospital
An unidentified man, said by victims to be between 25 and 35, held up Lawrence Memorial hospital about 2:30 a.m. today and got away with about 50 grains of morphine.
The man, armed with a pistol, asked the nurse in charge, Registered Nurse Mrs. Masel Straub, if the hospital had narcotics. She told him they did, and he demanded that she get them.
Mrs. Straub said she gave the man all the morphine outside the safe in the hospital. He was given 53 morphine tablets in three sizes, all less than one half grain in weight. The tablets were in one sixth, one fourth, and one third grain sizes.
The man took three nurses—Mrs. Straub, Registered Nurse Nancy McAearney, and Nurses' Aide Della Wenger—to the northwest door of the hospital and ordered them not to watch as he left.
The man went south about 50 feet, turned, and again told the nurses not to watch. The nurses said they did not know which way he went or what means of transportation he used.
The narcotics given the man were kept in a medicine locker in the lobby of the hospital. Pharmacist James Gillispie, of Watkins hospital, said this morning that 50 grains of morphine on the open drug market would be worth about $5.50. He said that he was not sure how much morphine is diluted for drug addict injection.
Mr. Gillipie said that opium is diluted in a ratio of nearly 100 to 1, but that apparently morphine is taken "straight," or without dilution.
