Man Defends
Himself With
WOman’s Shoe
ATLANTA (UPI) — If Fred
Bartlett wants to have his sou
venir shoe bronzed, it will cost
more than the usual baby boot
ie.
Bartlett, of Cartersville, Ga.,
collected the shoe early Tuesday
from one of two "ladies in dis
tress’’ he thought he was help
ing.
He told police that as he was
walking downtown, he heard
shouts for help from a parked
automobile. He gallantly rushed
to offer aid and was pulled into
the car by its two female occu
pants. 9
While one of the women
picked his wallet pocket, he
struggled and got hold of a high
heeled shoe, with which he re
turned the women’s blows.
Bartlett said he managed to
escape from the car, catch a
cab and chase the women who
had gunned their own car in
an escape. He lost the trail, but
police said they later picked up
two suspects, who were not
named immediately.
The wallet, which contained
s46o—some of which Bartlett
was delivering to Atlanta Shrin
ers’ headquarters — was found
where the women had thrown
it during the chase.
Bartlett kept the shoe.
