DECOYED AND ROBBA
Ben KOehler Tells n Lurid Story of
Being Relieved of $40.

Ben Koehler, of Olive street, who II
will be remembered was the star wit
ness in the DR.. Robinson investigation
was the victim of a highway robbery
Saturday night, and a very sensational
highway robbery at that, if his story
is as he tells 1t.
KOehler says that he was down in the
lower part of the town, in the region of
Franklin avenue, when he was ap-
preached by young man with a story
to the effect that there had been a wreck
on the Delaware and Hudson road, and
that one of the injured passengers want
ed to see him. Arrived at Mifiin ave-
nue., KOehler says, the man with the
story suddenly turned upon him, de-
clared himself to be a detective and
proceeded to place him under arrest.
Koehler struggled, a rough and tumble
fight ensued. the man with the story
came out on top and when it was all
over Koehler was minus $40, which he
alleges the man with the story relieved
him of during the struggle.
The man with the story happened to
be a man about town also, and was
recognized by KOehler. He is Edward
Nolan and his headquarters are around
the Franklin avenue saloons. Yester-
day Koehler made a round of these
places and sighted Nolan. Chief Rob-
ling was notified and the accused was
locked UP. He denied the charge In
toto, and says that as far as he is con-
cerned Koehler is telling fairy story.
The hearing in the case will take
place this morning
