man Grimshaw. of the Madison street
station, for being drunk He was found
sitting on a stoop at 81 Market street.
Liebes was unable to walk and the

dazed condition. When arraigned be-
fore Justice Sinus in the Essex Market
Police Court to-day, he claimed that he
had been drugged and robbed.
To Agents Dietz and Schmitt. Of the
Gerry society, he told the following
story:
About six months ago his aunt. Mrs.
Julia Mapleton. OF 2lg Second avenue.
brought him here from England. About
six weeks ago he was sent to Bath
Beach for his health. He boarded there
with a family named Strauch.
Last night he came to the city, he
says, to visit his aunt. She gave him
So He walked as far as the Battery,
where he met a stranger, who Invited
him to take a drink. They went to a
saloon in South street, where the stran-
drank glass Of ginger and mixed ale.
After that his mind Is a blank. He
claimed that the s. that his aunt had
given him was taken from him. When
placed under arrest for intoSlcation.
ceRst was found in his clothes.
I.iebes appeared to he very weak. and
Justice Simms instructed the Gerry
agents 20 summon an ambulance from
the Gouverneur Hospital: When the
surgeon arrived he declined to diagnose
the case before consulting with the
other physicians at the hospital, and
he was an orphan and that his parents
died in England.
