ators Threw at HIM.
Knocked the Other Down and Then Made
His Escape From the Place.

New York, July 30-A well-planned
attempt to rob a wealthy Williamsburg
brewer was frustrated by the agility of
the intended victim, aided by his hard
dst and strong arm.
He was Ernest Ochs the president of the
Etna Brewing Company, at Bushwick
avenue end Scholes street The scene of
the ATTEMPTED robbery was an empty cot
tage In Washington avenue, Rigewood,
where the railroad crosses Cypress avenue,
a lonely and desolate spot, to which Mr..
Ochs had been lured under the pretext
that his father-in-law was there, badly
injured.
At 1880 O'Clock iu the afternoon n man
walked into the office OF the brewery and
asked TO see Mr.. Ochs on business OF i'm
portance. The stranger seemed to be
about 35 years old.
He was feet 6 or inches tall, with n
long sandy moustache. He walked with a
decided stoop. and looked like consump-
tive He appeared to be very nervous.
A STORY TO LURE.
sI have been sent to tell you that your
father IN law was badly hurt little
while ago, he said to Mr.. Ochs. He
was crossing the railroad tracks In Ridge
wood when a train struck him and he
was severely injured.
"He is IN house out there now. He
didn't want an ambulance called, but
wants you TO come as soon as possible.
Mr.. Ochs' father-in. law, Henry Lehnert,
10 man over 20 years old and quite
feeble. Mr.. Ochs questioned the stranger
closely The latter stuck TO his story.
Finally Mr.. Ochs was convipced that the
man was telling the truth, ana he went
out to Ridgewood with him.
On one sido OF Cypress avenue stands
Constable Breohter's saloon, while few
rods away, in Washington avenue Is "A
row of mean frame dwellings. Mr.. Oohs
looked at him, thinking IL was a rather
strange place tor MIR. Lehnert to be In.
