HE ROBBED DKUGGED WOMEN.


The police have arrested a dapper
young man in New York, who they
say makes pretense of forming the
acquaintance of young women, chloro
forming them and then taking their
jewels. He gave his name as George
w. Duval, but he is Paul Bauer, who
served term in the Trenton, N. j.,
prison for burglary. He is barber by
trade and posses as drummer.
Miss Jennie Wilson, who always
wears diamonds, left her fat in Harlem
Friday night as soon as the gas was
lighted, and went downtown. In the
Tenderloin she met Bauer, who said he
had money to burn "Well. then, let
US burn some," said Miss Wilson. They
went to Corey's Haymarket Cluo,
where there is reception every night.
Let Us have drink" said the young
man, and they had several. "Let us
go and dine" said the young man by
and by, and they went over to restau-
rant.
While they had been in Mr.. Corey's
club young woman who is known in
the Tenderloin as Miss S. die Miller ihaL-
pened to be seated at the next table.
She hurriedly followed Bauer and his
companion and had him arrested.
She, too, met Bauer recently. There
were drinks that night and supper,
nd Miss Wilson's escort of Friday
nisht saw Miss Miller home on that
ther occasion. The next morning
Miss Miller had splitting headache,
missed pair of diamond earrings, two
ianond rings, q gold watch, brooch,
all worth $3.50, and $35 in money.
Lottle Wallipg, of Newark, said Sat
urday that she met Duval iu Newark
last Thursday and he took her to
heatre. She says he subsequently
chloroformed her and robbed her of
pair of diamond earrings, three dia-
ond rings, an opal ring and mar
quise risg, in all worth about 81 900.
After telling her story, Miss Walling
Identified Duval. He confessed his guilt
aod said he had pawned the .iewelry on
she Bowery. The police are satisfied
that he has made it practice to make
the acquaintance of women, accompa-
ny them to their homes chloroform and
rob them.
When arrested, Bauer had in his pos.
session some valuable jewelry, s62 in
currency, a foe sponge about five
inches square, four ounce bottle filled
with cnlorotorn and three small walls
that had contained the same drug.
Bauer had in his pocket several pawn
tickets and two note books containing
the names and addresses of many young
women who wear diamonds at night.
In connection with this arrest the
police recall the murder of Flossie Muir.
ply, the girl who was known as "Dia
mond Flossie," and who about eight
months ago was strangled and robbed
of all her jewelry.
