of about NIFTY persons in Atlantic Park,

The trial was concluded by Leonard
standing ~ a. a target. with the shield
fastened ross his breast, while an ex-

from distonce Of thirty-fve feet.
Before the performance began Len

out It's superiority over the invention of

WHERE'S THE UNKNOWN?
He stole McDOnaIds $1,000 Roll,
but Oakley In Held.


James Oakley, alias Oakford, the race
track follower, charged with completely
in the robbery of J. S. Mcdonald in a
Broadway saloon last Monday morning.
was held for trial in jefferson Market
Court this morning.
Mcdonald testified that late Monday
night he went with Abraham Fink to
a saloon near the corner of Broadway
and Thirty-fourth street. He had a
roll of about 81, 500 in bills in his
trousers pocket. He had been drinking
all the evening and kept up the amuse-
ment in the saloon.
There were three men,. one. of whom
was Oakley, at neighboring table.
They made some uncompliInentary re-
mark, and Mcdonald grew so demon
him out. He returned and was again
thrown out by Oakley and an unknown
man.
In the struggle the unknown man
took the bills out of his pocket and
fled. Mcdonald waited about the front
door until daylight, when he found no
one but Fink and the bartender there,
and he had Fink arrested.
The case against Fink was imperfect
and was dismissed yesterday.
declared that Mcdonald was drunk and
exhibiting his money so carelessly that
1t was probable he lost it or might have
been robbed at any time or anywhere
during the night.
John Stantse, the bartender. testified
that Mcdonald was intoxicated and I'M
ruly and that he saw no robbery.
The interesting point how the crowd
escaped from the saloon without
brought out Stantse was asked about
| it, but would not talk.
The unknown" is still at large.
