William Ritzel, seventeen years old, of
Central avenue and Woodbine street,
Brooklyn, was arraigned in the Gates

charge OF lounging. preferred by Police
man Holzberger, of the Cedar street
station.
Justice Quigley asked the policeman
II the boy was disorderly or had OBJ
structed the sidewalk so that pedestri-
ans could not pass. The policeman adj
mitted that he was not, but that he was
arrested while skylarking with a couple
of other boys and girls. Ritzel testified
that he was with his sister and n friend.
The policeman stated that when he
appeared the boys cried, Cheese it, the

TT IL a shame that boys playing on
the streets of Brooklyn should so fear
the police" said Justice Quigley. THE
police are employed to guard property,
not to terroriZe boys who are about the
streets near their houses. In such
crowded neighborhood as Central ave-
nue. II Is natural that the younger poo-
pie should prefer the streets during the
heated term to.the small flats in which
they live"
Mrs. Ritzel, the boys mother, cor
roborated his statement, and furthe.'
said that when she attempted to remon-
strate with the policeman about the ar
rest he threatened her with his club.
Justice Quigley at once discharged the
boy and censured the officer.

HER DIAMOND RINGS STOLEN.
Mysterious Robbery at Mrs. Mac
Vaugh's Brooklyn Home.
Money and Other Articles Untouched
by the Thieves.

Mrs. William 7. MacNaugh. of 2j2 DE
kalb avenue, Brooklyn. was completely
mystified this morning over daring
robbery OF her valuable diamond rings.
When the robbery took place, or how II
happened. she is at n loss TO imagine.
She is u member of one of Brooklyn's
most select social circles. Her husband
is in the commission business In White
street, New York.
In telling of the loss of her jewels to
an Evening World" reporter, Mrs.
MaoVaugh said:
This is the most remarkable case of
robbery ever heard of. There does not
seem to be the slightest foundation on
which to base a clue. As you see, the
house Is OF brown-stone. The basement
windows are tightly barred. There are
but four means of ingress unless
through the windows. namely, the two
basement doors, front and rear: the
main front door, and the scuttle- hole on
the roof.
Il returned from the country only last
week with my two children. boy and
girl Mr.. MacVaugh was at the house
nearly every day during the Summer.
and our old servant. Maggie. was here
ION Sunday evening took off my five
rings and placed them on n ring tree on
my dresser. L placed my watch near
the rings. Monday morning about TO- 30
o'clock l took my little girl downtown
with me. The little boy and Maggie re-
| manned at home.
II returned about o'clock, but paid
| no attention to my rings until Tuesday
evening, when l wanted TO use them
but l could not find them anywhere. My
husband notified the police of the Cas-
N avenue station. AMI detective called
Il was only while he Was here that 1
discovered that my watch was gone also.
An investiga tion showed that the scut-
tie cover had not been opened. i do not
believe Maggie touched the rings, as she
| Is an Old and trustful servant.
while was away my little boy went
out with his bicycle and did not close
| the basement gate. 1t must have been
opened some twenty minutes
"On leaving home / noticed a large
| number of rough-looking men In front
| of the house. The only theory have Is
| that one of them slipped in and took the
rings. But, on the other hand, It seems
| strange to me that nothing but the rings
| and watch were taken.
Right in plain sight was bag of
| money. a diamond pendant, diamond
studs and many other things OF value.
| The dresser is covered with toilet ar
| tcles and not one OF them was dis
placed.
In the parlor there is a quantity OF
small bric-a-brac that could easily have
| been taken. The rings and watch are
| worth about 81 ,OO0 do not value them
SO much for their intrinsic value as |
do for the associations connected with
them.
IF the thief will bring them back 1
Will reward him handsomely, and ask no
questions"

Justice Gaynor. In the Supreme Court,
Brooklyn. this morning handed down a
decision IN which he declines to set
aside q Judgment Of 5000. held by Sadie
T. Bennett against Jacob B. Shipherd. a
Queens County lawyer.
Mrs. Bennett claimed that on Jan. II,
1894. Shipherd and one Arthur NJ. San
ders locked her in q room at 20 Broad
way, New York. She sued both for
5000 for false imprisonment, and OBJ
tanned a verdict for 81, 900 against Ship
herd individually. Sanders was found
to be not guilty. He sued Mrs. Bennett
for costs and obtained judgment,
which was returned unsatisfed. Mrs.
Bennett was examined in supplementary
proceedings.
Sanders claims that on this examina-
ton Mrs. Bennett testified that her at
ttrneys. McKoon and Luckey, brought
Up her action against iihipherd and San
ders before the action for false impris-
onment was begun. When Shipherd
heard of this he wanted the judgment set
aside on the ground that 1t had been
illegally obtained.
