BOLD BURGLARY.
A New York JeWelry House Loses
SO, 900 Worth Of Goods at
GhIcA0n


CHICAGO, Aug. 16.-A most daring
and successful robbery was perpe-
trated at the Palmer House this after
noon, by which the New York jewell
ry firm of Max Freund q Co., lost
about $4,000 worth of goods. Hen
ry Freund of that firm arrived here
this morning with a heavily armored
iron bound trunk, and at l O'Clock
went to dinner with a friend. AL
though he remained away only half
an hour, when he returned he found
that an entrance had been effected to
his room through the transom, his
trunk had been broken open, the
more valuable jewelry all taken and
no trace of the experts who did the
job, except two jimmies and q piece
Of paper in which they were wrapped.
Detectives here believe Mr.. Freund
to have been followed by New York
professionals who have become pref
ty familiar with his habits and mode
Of life, from the fact that three per.
sons, one from st. Louis, one from
Boston and another lady from St
Louis, left the hotel immediately af.
ter the robbery, ostensibly for their
respective cities, although no traint
leave here at that hour. 1t is sur.
missed that these persons have some
connection with the affair. For a
week past gang of English and New
York pr otcssiOnals have been doing
work here and these men and womel
are regarded as a part of that combi
nation. Detectives are hard at worl
on the case.

rections with view to the examina-
ton Of his mental condition. Some
arlifice had TO be employed to get
him to leave the courtroom. Casting
his eyes in the direction OF the prison
box, he shrank back with the air OF
dismay and exclaimed in trcmulous
tones: THAT is the road to perdition.'
The officers then conducted him out
of the front door, gently soothing his
plants on the way with kind words.
