Boston, Massachusetts:

After a lifetime of small-town holdups, chain gangs and jail escapes, a
78-year-old fugitive reached the end of the line -- at the hands of a
bat-wielding woman just five years his junior.

Nick George Montos, the first person ever to make the FBI's Ten Most
Wanted list twice, walked into an antique shop Tuesday with a gun and
threatened to kill owner Sonia Paine, 73, if she didn't cooperate.

He tied her hands to a door with plastic restraints, but she wiggled free,
tripped a silent alarm and hit him over the head with her aluminum bat.

She was hurt in the scuffle, but Montos looked the worse for wear, his
head and wrist bandaged.

"I don't take any crap from anybody," Paine said.  "I beat the hell out
of him."

Paine and police said Montos entered the shop and pulled a .22-caliber
gun with a crude silencer attached.

Paine allowed him to tie her hands.  But when he cut a phone line her son
uses, something in her snapped.

"At that point, it was mother's instinct.  He's going to cut my Stanley's
phone?" she said.

Paine got free and went for the alarm.  Then she grabbed the bat and hit
her attacker three times, driving him to his knees.  But he wrenched the
bat away, hit her on the head with the gun and sprayed her with Mace.

A police officer arrived, and the would-be robber fled into a back room.
When he aimed his gun at the officer, Paine, who had retrieved her bat,
struck him again while the officer knocked the gun away.

"I'm not surprised by what my mother did," said Stanley Paine.  "She's a
very feisty lady.  She's not going to let anyone come in and take what's
hers.  She worked too hard."

His mother's head wound required 10 stitches.  She gave her age as 65;
police said she was 73.
