TIE WHITE LOT ROBBERY
Confession by One of the Thugs
Who Robbed Ephraim.
Had Been Planning for Days to Rob
Certain Men Williams Al Cheat
in Dividing Spoils.

Detective sutton, who rounded up the
robbers who waylaid and robbed Isadore
Ephrainl in the White Lot last Saturday
night, succeeded in obtaining Complete
confession of the whole plot and crime
from the second thief Albert Tolson. He
claims that lie was induced to do tie job
by Williams, and admitted that he was
guilty, but received only 81 for his part
In the hold up. He throws the entire
responsibility upon Williams.
Tolson told Detective sutton that he
and Williams had been watching the move
ments OF prOnAnent men for some time for
the purpose of holding them up at the first
favorable opportunity. They had asccr-
canned that certain men who Were likely
TO have large rolls frequently visited the
houses on street, and determined upon
touching them if possible, or if not TO rob
frankie Morton. When Mr.. Ephriam was
seen coming up the street they marked
him, and when he asked to be directed
to his boarding place they were sure Of
their game Burley was some distance
away TO watch the police while Williams
and Toison walked beside the Texan.
a W lOlSbh VIZ
liams hit the man in the face with a
blackjack, and kicked him severely in
the side as he fell, saying, 'If YOU yell,
I'll murder you here" After going through
his pockets the two fled through the
White Lot to Seventeenth street, and
from thence as far up as DeSales street
I and Connecticut avenue, before looking at
their pIJnder. There Williams opened The
purse, (which contained two $40 notes, one
So and three 81 bills.
The watch was solid gold and the
Masonic pin Williams said he would melt
up, and taking the money from the purse
he gave Tolson bill, sa wing that he
thought $40 would do for his share.
This Tolson accepted, but upon reaching
home discovered that he had received but
single 81 note.
Williams wife would have nothing to
say regarding the affair last night, and
it is believed that he is relying upon her
to attempt to prove an alibi.

wall street business.

New York, a pril 4. Expectations arous-
ed 10y the course of the stock market this
afternoon were not fulfilled today. Prices
made at or soon after the opening proved to
be the highest recorded Weakness devel-
opcd first in Sugar, which was sold on
liberal scale by brokers who usually act for
somewhat erratic operator. As these
sales developed no support, that naturally
invited further selling for both accounts.
The street experienced a further disap-
pointment after the official announcement
was made regarding the plan for funding
the maturing bonded Indebtedness of the
New York Central Railroad Company As
a matter of fact, 1t has been so well gen
orally understood that the company would
follow the policy OF the Lake Shore COM
pany in taking advantage of the present
low rates for money, il is surprising ;hat
the market for stocks shows the discount
of negotiations. The greatest activity was
in Chicago Gas. 1t supplied nearly a third
of the total transactions and closed 3-4
points lower than YESTERDAY The selling
was ostensbly based upon advices from
Chicago that a bill had been introduced
in the Illinois legislature providing for
reduction in the price of gas consun sd in
Chicago. IS the Chicago gas companies
have a contract with the city, which has
some years to run, and which governs :he
price to private consumers 1T seems hardly
probable that the legislation referred 10 is
TO become a law. Outside of Chicago Uas,
Sugar Refining and New York Central, the
trading was very light In sympathy with
the stocks named the majority OF the list
closed fractionally lower than yesterday.

Partnership With III. :. Martin.


A suit was brought in the equity court
yesterday 10y Leonard T. Vinton against
Harrison s. Martin. his partner. asking
that decree be granted dissolving the
partn ersbip and for the appointment OF
receiver for the firms assets. A Iule 70
show cause was issued by Justice Hagner
returnablc April 21.
Mr.. Vinton alleges in his petition that lie
and his partner purchased Of Simon Wolf,
assignee, the plant and good will of tie
Stumph & Bro. firm, at Nos. 631 to 6S5
Massachusetts avenue, for the purpose
of continuing the business OF manufacturing
mattresses and bedding. They paid 81 COO
for the.manufactcry, and entered into part
nership, it being agreed that Martin should
sign the firm name to all their business
papers, and that he should have active
charge of the establishment
The complainant was obligated TO furnish
two-thirds OF the capital, the profit and
loss to he divided in the proportion of two
thirds to one-third, in favor of the plaintiff.
This arran cement was entered into
October /, 1896. In March, following, the
firm made a note for $4,000, to w. s.
Jackson, giving as security, ehattel
mortgage on certain machinery, belonging
to the concern. This was to be refunded
at the rate of $50 every ninety days,
$7O0 having been paid according to the
terms of the contract.
The complainant alleges that, commene-
ing with September, 1896, he has advanced
$4,000 to the firm to meet it's obligations,
and that on April 13, 1897, Martin drew
$500 or $700 out of the bank of funts
belonging TO the company, and has declined
to make reimbursement, despite the fact
that the films checks Were out to the
amount of $500 He instructed Vinton TO
charge the money TO his account.
Vinton alleges that Martin permitted the
rent to fall in arrears, although he had
the money in hand to pay it promptly.

consideration of the point, the Senate went
