Sam Chepelvitz, proprietor of a furniture store at 11 36 North Eigh teenth street, yesterday was bound and Ragged by three robbers in his bedroom and then rendered uncon scious by a scentless anaesthetic which the men poured on a hand kerchief and held to his nose, ac cording to the story he told police. The robbers stole $85 and a gold watch. They gained entrance to Chepelvitz' bedroom, which is in the rear', of his store, by forcing the front door. "nconscious One Hour. Chepelvitz thinks he was uncon scious for about an hour. ; After re gaining his senses, he writhed free from cloth thongs with which the robbers had bound his hands. He said he writhed about three hours before he freed himself. The robbers, he said, struck him several times because he failed to open his mouth quick enough so they could insert a cag. . A .38 caliber revolver was found by Chepelvitz on the floor of his room. He told police it belonged to the three robbers. So far no arrests in the case have been made.
