| About two weeks ago the cabmen who hive
their stand at Broadway and Twenty fourth
street noticed that one or two men we're spend
| ing good deal OF time on the corner. They
| stood under the awnings Of stores at times
| and walked slowly about. After a while some
OF the cabbies noticed that the men watched
people closely. as though looking for some one.
| Employees OF the Madison Square Theatre also
| observed the men. and they all wondered who
| the zen were and whom they were looking for.
The talk finally came to tho enrs Of Charles
Lawrence. a goodman who kept his horses in
| a stable on Twenty.fourth street and drove
for woman living in the Albemarle Hotel.
He heard that the men were watching this
woman. and. not wishing to alarm her. he
said nothing. but kept his eyes open. A week
ago Saturday she went driving in Central
Park As Lawrence drove through the Park
he noticed two men in carriage not very far
behind. He looked around several times and
became convinced that they were following
him. but still kept his own counsel.
On Wednesday he decided to toll what he
had seen and heard. His employer was great
ly surprised and determined to investigate tho
affair for herself On Thursday and Friday
she took occasion to drive and walk about
much Of the day. One OF the men followed
her. She was annoyed. and after two days OF
observation she spoke to her lawyer about the
matter.
The case was turned over to Pinkerton's
Detective Agency on Saturday. and at noon
