(T&G News Service): "My victim, a woman named Lena, was more difficult to subdue than I expected, but was bound, gagged and chloroformed as I left the house", the robber called Julie told T&G, "I was met at the door buy two guys.  They were Lena's next appointment to 'buy' Lena's jewelry.  They were also here to rob Lena, as I found out.  I told them that I had purchased the necklace and they promptly grabbed me and forced me back into the house.  One guy held a gun on me while the other one held me.  They had a good laugh when they saw Lena.  They realized that I was one of them.  Unfortunately, there is no honor among thieves. 

My hands were bound with one of Lena's scarves.   I verbally abusive to these guys...probably not a good idea, but I had earned that necklace!  The one holding the gun told the other that they had to gag me, like Lena was gagged.  All the scarves were too big to pack completely in my mouth so the guy who had tied me searched my purse.  He found the box with the necklace.  He found the bandanna soaked with chloroform"
