William Wilburn allegedly attempts to rob the candy store of William Johnson

After entering the deponent’s Lenox Avenue candy store, the defendant [Wilburn] “pick[ed] up a large butcher knife which was lying on the counter,” and “demanded the deponent’s money.” The deponent [Johnson] stated that he had no money, to which the defendant “laid the knife on the counter, and deponent snatched it up.” The deponent then came out from behind the counter and the defendant “pulled out a large switch-blade knife and attempted to cut [him] with it,” before the deponent “struck [him] with a large club.”
