ROBBED IN COOPER SHOP LANE.
Patrick Rroderick's Experience with
Two Dusky Aliases

When man with either money or char
arcter is found sitting upon curbstone in
the neighborhood of Cooper Shop lane after
nightfall he is likely to lose the first if it is
not firmly anchored down, and to have the
second doubted Patrick Broderick expe-
rlenced this In that locality about o'clock
yesterday morning-or more practically
speaking, in the wee sma' hours ayant the
twal."
Cooper Shop lane is a natural and artif-
cial curiosity. 1t is paved with broken
bottles, old shoes, tin cans, crab shells and
good intentions-so is another locality not
| much more malOdorous.
1t was on curb on this deectahle thor
oughfare that Patrick Broderick sat in the
early CLEANING yesterday, when he was APP
preached by two of the dusky queens of the
lane, who wanted to help him gloam.
Patrick was just in from Vaudeville, S. c.,
where he has been employed, and TO which
point relatives in Boston had sent him
funds to bring the wanderer home. He was
to have taken last nights steamer for the
city of high arts, the home of the slugger
and the commercial center of the baked
beans indu try.
1t would have been far less expensive to
Patrickif he had put up at one of the first
class hotels, instead Of Illuminating upon the
hard curb of a locality which by cOmpari-
son ought to have made the very cobbe
stones or a barbed wire fence soft and
downy
But the tempters came and induced him
to exchange the curbstone for a couch in
one of the snanties Of Cooper Shop lane.
The DelilahS were Katie Timmons, alias
Browley, and Susan Young, alias Jones,
two of the hardest of the hard cases of the
place.
Patrick paid Soc. for his lodging, and as
he was preparing to retire, and after he
had hung his coat and vest on dilapidated
apology for chair, Susan entered the
room and made dive into the inner pocket
OF his vest and distracted his money,
amounting, he says, to S12. The two women
then left him in peaceful possession
or the premises, monarch of all he sur
veyed. The two wenches next proceeded to
make the rounds of the lower dives where
mixed drinks of various degrees of mean
liquor are served, and at which the money
OF Broderick was spent with liberal hand
They were maudlin drunk when Detective
Wetherhorn run them into Justice Russel's
Office later on. Mr. Wetherhorn being
called to the Superior Court room as a wit
ness IN the Berg burglary, turned the foul
pair over to Mr.. White until the Justice
came down to his Office, and while there
such obscenity and profanity were INDUCED
In by the women as had never before been
heard in the precincts of a court room.
Justice Russell bound them over to the
City Court under two warrants, one aft
davit charging them with larceny and the
other with beng common Migrants. They
were taken to Jail at 10 o'clock yesterday
by officer Nathans and Mr.. White, and
their toul-mouthed rawlings on the way to
prison were SO shameful that a citizen re-
marked that they should have been gagged,
and decent people spared the modification
nj grtph al al
1t is unnecessary to say that Brodericks
money having miscarried he did not take
passage for Boston last night The general
verdict is that it served him right.
