circles of the city.
About . :45 o'clock yesterday morning
the gambling-house of Carroll and Web
Der, upstairs at 62S Market street, was de-
serted, so far as the players were con-
cPrned, and the game for the night was
closed. James HulSapple, farO-d dealer, and
another emplOye named Smith and the negro
porter were the only persons in the rooms, which
are Two IN number, with a door leading from
each into the hail. and another, which is KEEP
locked, opening from the rear room into the
front apartment, where the game was located.
The door leading from this room out to the
hallway is also bOlted, and the usual way of en-
,eriug was into the rear room and hen past the
guard into the place which was occupied by the
players.
About that hour two men appeared in the rear
room masked, aud with reviewers polluted at The
negro custodian OF the place. ordered him TO
admit them 10 the front room. The trembling
porter hastily unlocked the door, while Paulseil
kept him covered with his revolver, and the
other robber stepped through the door and point

them 10 throw up their b nds
HulsapDle at once started to bluff the thief by
telling him he was O0ly IN fun and that he did
not mean what he said. hoping thai the fellow

and give Husapple chance TO grapple with
him. But the robber was not 10 be caught by

PIES pocket and unlocked the doors of the safe,
which had not yet been closed by the combna-
ton, and the coin in The safe, amounting to be-
tween $4,000 and S50O0 was hastily placed in
sacks and in an old sack which they had along
stairs.
They reached the sidewalk and were starting
down Market street when the window of the
gambling house was opened by the negro, who
had managed 10 free himself, and he rent

caught sight OF Special Officers Tenancy and
Watson in front of the Croker building, and
the ihiey started TO run, one of them up the
street and Paulsell IN the opposite direction.
The officers at once gave their attention to

For the next few moments there was a great

Some OF the money remained in the sack. and
this, along with what was picked up and re-
turned TO the officers, amount ed 10 SS4O How
much was carried away by strangers can only
be guessed. Paulsell was taken to the South

The second OF the pair OF daring robbers

went along with him. The police have good

possession of the police.
tt is rumored that PauisePs companion IL a
stranger in town from the fact that none OF the
Fraternity recognize the description, and also
from the fact that he did all the talking while
Paulsell kept in the background. This Is one
reason why the police are not more confident
about his capture.

times during the evening before the robbery
was committed, and II Is evident, from the way
