WOUNDED BY ROBBERS.
AN AGED TAILOR ATTACKED IN HIS SHOh

HIS DESPERATE RESISTANCE CAUSES THEM n
FLED WITHOUT GETTING ANY PLUMBER
Solomon Barnett, an old Hebrew tailor, camA
near being killed on Tuesday afternoon In Q
desperate fight with two robbers in his shop, 81
No. 1,230 Lexington-ave. lie lives with MS
wife and daughter in the Florentine fat-house
in East Eighty-fourth-st., and he was able 70
sit up there and tell his story yesterday. HIS
head was covered with bandages, where the scalp
had been laid open with knife in half dozen
places, and bruised by blows with piece OF lead
pipe. Both his arms and one shoulder also were
cut and bruised. Barnett's shop is in a one-story
frame building on the west side Of the avenue
and only thin partition separates it from
watchmakers place in the same building. IL Is
not a shop in which thieves would expect to
make big haul, but Barnett has been spoken OF
in the neighborhood having money saved up.
The two men who attacked him on Tuesday
evidently thought he carried plenty of money IN
his pockets. They entered the shop first In the
morning. Both were young men, one tall ana
stout, and the other small and slender. The little
man asked if he could get coat cleaned, ana
Barnett said yes" "rll bring the coat to-
morrow" the man said.
Later in the day Barnett saw the two men pass
was alone in his shop. The door was opened by
the same two men, who entered, and tie little
man said he wished to have his coat cleaned nj
once. The other man stood with his back against
the door, As the tailor bent down to look at the
coat he received a blow on the head with piece
of lead pipe, which the little man had drawn
from his pocket. The blow staggered the old
man, but he raised his hand in time to ward ON
partly the next blow. Then he seized his assail'
ant by the throat and dragging him
toward the door, when the larger ruifian spran2
forward with drawn knife, and the fight be-
came more desperate. Barnett was struck on the
head and shoulder with the knife again and again.
but he continued to struggle for his life. ana
implored them to spare him. In his efforts to
get free he knocked over the stove In the shop.
and the pipe fell from the ceiling with crash.
The noise probably made the robbers afraid that
they would be discovered and caught by OUT
siders, and they hastily fed from the shop.
Barnett sat in his shop, dazed and bleeding
from his wounds, for several minutes before a
customer entered and gave the alarm. The police
soon summoned an ambulance from the Presby.
terian Hospital. and surgeon dressed the wounds
in the tailor's head.
Captain OConnor and his detectives, OF tho
East Eighty .eighth-st. station, got from Barnett
a good description OF the two rufians, and began
a search for them. but no arrest was made yes
terday. Barnett said he could easily identity his
assailants. The police have no doubt that rob-
berry was the incentive for the attack. but the
men got nothing.
