Description
George Vernor, convicted by a jury of robbery by means of a dangerous and deadly weapon and sentenced under the Second Offender
Act to 17 years' imprisonment, has appealed. On September 12, 1973 one Frank Putney, a clerk in an A & P store in the City of St. Louis, noticed a white Mercury
automobile come into the parking lot. Two Negro males got out of the car. Their actions and demeanor aroused his suspicions.
The engine of the automobile was left running. Putney made a note of the license number. The two men entered at the front
and walked the length of the store to the manager's office. One of them, later identified as this defendant, climbed over
a ledge and entered the office of Donald Buhr, assistant manager. The other man, armed with a shotgun, remained outside the
office. Defendant had a black revolver. He took money out of the cash drawer, ordered Buhr to lie down on the floor, left
the office, proceeded to one of the check-out counters, ordered the clerk to lie down on the floor and took money out of the
cash register. Then both men left the store. A total of about $800 in cash was taken. Buhr called the police. When the police
arrived Putney gave them the license number.
