Spectacular Robbery from Ladies on New York Streets New York, Oct. 17.
While police and marines were! scouring New Sersey in search of bandits a trio of the latter fraterncarried out a coup in Brooklyn worthy of a place in the fiction of the highwaymen of the middle ages, They stopped a car in which Mrs. Calder, an ex-Senator's wife, and three other women were returning from the theatre. They compelled. the chauffeur to retire into the back seats with the women, then one bandit took the wheel and drove the lear through Prospect Park, while his confederates enforcing silence at the point of the revolver despoiled the women of $15,000 worth of jewellery, The car stopped at a quiet spot, Jand the women and chauffeur were deposited on the roadside.
'The bandits, with mock ceremony, bade a "Good night, ladies," and the car disappeared in' the darkness.—Reuter.
