An Oakland radio dealer, whose father was murdered by a holdup man 14 years ago, threw a telephone at a stickup man last night, chased him and aided police in capturing him.
During the chase, the armed robber fired point-blank at two Pitt students who tried to stop him in Sennott St. Neither Pitt man was wounded.
Samuel Szeinback, 53, was telephoning his wife from the S & S Radio Shop, 233 Atwood St., when a man walked in, jabbed a pistol into his stomach and demanded money.
After the gunman searched Szeinbach and took approximately $400, he ripped the telephone off the wall and walked out into Atwood St.
FLINGS PHONE-----
Szeinbach, who lived at 4009 Windsor St., heaved the loose phone through a window at the gunman but missed.
Szeinbach pursued the robber into Sennott St. and yelled to George B. Boyd, 26, of 48 Bridge St., Oakdale, and A. J. Cusick, 28, of 1615 Ellsworth Ave., Heidelberg, to grab the robber.
Boyd and Cusick, Pitt students, tried to block the fleeing holdup man but the gunman, when three feet away, fired at Boyd. He missed and the students jumped behind an automobile.
Traffic Lt. William McHugh, passing in a car, saw the commotion, jumped out of the car and joined in the chase. The gunman turned into Oakland Ave., then sped down Forbes St. toward Atwood St.
CORNERED-----
Acting Lt. Al Leckenby of Oakland Police Station joined McHugh and the others in the pursuit. They followed the holdup man into the Buffet Café at Forbes and Atwood Sts. and cornered him in the cellar.
The stickup man gave his name as John F. Pronbeck, 37, and said he had no permanent address. He admitted seven other robberies and an attempted stickup , according to Oakland Inspector Lawrence Maloney. At a hearing today, he told Magistrate John J. Florucci he “turned to stickups’ because he couldn’t get a job.
Pronbeck, who said he spent seven years in Mattewan State Hospital, N. Y., and a year in Mayview, was held for court on charges of armed robbery and violating the firearms act.
FATHER SHOT-----
Szeinbach’s reaction to the holdup was similar to that of his father when an armed stickup man walked into a Hill District confectionery in October, 1935.
Szeinbach’s father, Harry Szeinbach, 59, was a customer. He hurled a chair at the gunman, grazing his ear.
The holdup man spun around, shot the elder Szeinbach through the heart and escaped. He was never apprehended.

A bandit, meeting unexpected resistance, shot and seriously wounded a Michigan insurance man in a Hill district confectionery early today.
The victim, Harry Szeinbach, 56, of Mt. Clemens, Mich., was taken to Passavant Hospital with a bullet wound in the abdomen. An emergency operation was performed in an effort to save his life.
Mr. Szeinbach was seated in the store of Mrs. Adella Secher, an old friend, at 1320 Clark St., when a Negro thug entered and leaped over the counter to the cash register. Mr. Szeinbach hurled a chair and a bottle at the intruder, who fired one shot and fled with between $4 and $5.
Police later picked up a Negro found hiding behind a fence near Crawford and Clark Sts. He was identified as Claude Bryant, 22, of 1535 Forside Pl. and held for further investigation by Magistrate Charles F. Papale in Center Ave. Police Court.

While
the robber searched drawers and cash registers, Szeinbach held the
phone line open hoping his wife would realize a holdup was taking
place and notify police. However, she said later, the line went
“dead’ at that time.oct%202024_bw.jpg)
