Abercrombie Burden appeared in the
Yorkshire police court this afternoon
to make complaint against Charles Ben
asch, who held her up while she was
walking on Fifth avenue, on Tuesday
afternoon, and stole her pocketbook.
She was accompanied by her lawyer,
Elihu Root
Mrs. Burden explained to Justice
wentworth that the reason she had not
appeared before was that she had been
led to understand by the police that it
was unnecessary for her to make COM
plant in her own name, or to appear
again in court. She then made out a
new charge against Benasch. He
pleaded not guilty, and was held for the
grand jury in $1,000 bail.
