THOUSANDS SEE
BOLD ROBBERIES
ARMED BANDITS SEIZE JEWELS

First Attempt, However, Results in
Clean Getaway for Dar
ing Gang. j,
New York, March 12. ? While 1
Broadway tonight was crowded with '
theatre; goers, three armed bandits
smashed in the window, of a jewelry
store at Thirty-seventh street, kept
the crowds at bay with their re vol v- !
ers until they had emptied the contents
of several trays into their pockets
and then escaped, shooting one
pedestrian woh attempted to stop
them.
A few minutes later three men en- ,
tered another Broadway jewelry store,
a few blocks up town, and, after
throwing pepper in a clerk's eyes,
grabbed some trays of jewelry and
ran from the store. The men alleged

rested by police after a chase.
Both robberies, committed in the
heart of the White Light district,
were witnessed by thousands of per- (
sons. Broadway was thrown into the .
greatest excitement as police reserves
arrived on the double quick and,
working on the theory that the robberies
were committed by two dif
ferent bands,, raced up and down side
J streets and spoured the subway for
the four missing bandits.
In addition to the pedestrian who
? ' was shot but not seriously injured,
[ one other member of the crowd suc.
ceeded in getting his finger on a fugir
tive. He was rewarded by a crack on
- the wrist from a revolver but which
(caused his arm\lo fall helplessly to
his side. !
Seeing the crowds halt and form in
a semicircle around the store, Patrolman
Anthony Weigen came racing to
the scene. Just as he arrived and be- ;
gan to fight his way through the excited
throng, the robbers called it a
day's work, packed the last of the
gems in their pockets parted company :
and started each for himself to carve
a way through the human semicircle.
Then came gun play. Sighting a man
break away from the crowd and dart
up Broadway, Weigen, with drawn revolver,
gave chase.
The crowds took to cover as they

heard the crack of a revolver, but
Weigen had missed, and the robber
sped on. In front of the fugitive was
a subway air hole, with the cover off,
and through this hole the bandit
jumped to the subway tracks ?5 feet
below. He narrowly missed being
struck by a passing train, for the roar
of its progress was heard on the
street above a few seconds after the
robber played his last card and won.
For after reserves had assembled
in full force and searched the subway
from Forty-second street down and
Thirty-fourth street up they found no
trace of the daring bandit and were
forced to admit that he had strolled
to the nearest station, jumped upon
the platform and escaped.
The second robbery occurred in the
store of Marcus Feldman between
Forty-fifth and Forty-sixth streets,
where the theatre throngs are thick3S.

Says Paper Has Right to Publish
Open Court Testimony.
Chicago, March 5.?The privilege
of a newspaper to publish, and the
public to be informed of, any testimony
given in open court, whether
his testimony be true or false, was
upheld in a ruling made today by
Judge Oscar M. Torrison, of the Circuit
Court. It is the first time on
record that this question of privilege
has been decided specifically by an
Illinois court.
Judge Torrison held not only that
a newspaper is entitled to publish
such testimony, but also that the
guilt or innocence of any person injured
by the testimony has no bearing
whatever on any action for libel
brought by that person against the
newspaper because of its publication.
The ruling was given in the form
of instructions to the jury whom had
heard the evidence in a suit for libel
brought by Henry J. Earnest against
the Chicago Tribune.

GREEN FOUND GUILTY.
I
I Trap Gun Case Appealed to the Supreme
Court.
I St. George, March 14.?The court
j of general sessions which convened
| here on Monday morning with Judge
i J. E. Peurifoy, presiding, adjourned
Friday morning. Several minor |
criminal cases came up, the majority
pleading guilty, and the only case of
any importance was that of the state
vs. J. A. Green, charged with setting
a trap gun which killed. Jerry
Mizell, near Ridgevijle in January of
this year.
This case was a rather a novel one,
the first of its kind to be tried in the
county, and perhaps the first to be
tried in the state. Green owned a
old dwelling near Ridgeville, in which
no one had lived for six years, and
in the dwelling was stored some old
furniture, and he. Green, claimed that
some persons were disturbing his old
furniture and he set a trap gun to
kill the ones entering the place. Mizzell,
as brought out at the trial, was
a tenant of Green and had been used
to going to the house and one day ?
went in and the gun went off killing
him instantly. The jury found a
J verdict of guilty of manslaughter
! and he was sentenced to two years' on
I chain gang. The attorneys representing
Green have appealed the case
to the supreme court, Green giving
bond in the sum of $5,000. He was
represented by M. S. Connor of the
local bar and W. C. Wolfe, of Orangebure
and Solicitor Hydrick was as
sisted by J. A. Hiers of the local bar.

" 'Well.' said I. "there's one way, |
