Robert PendIeton Arrested.

Robert Pendleton, colored, twenty years old,
was arrested yesterday and locked up at No. 4
station charged with suspicion. The arrest was
made by Policeman Lake, Of the Fourth precinct.
and the offence which the man is suspected OF IS
the hold-up OF a man and woman in South Wash
iugton Wednesday night. Other arrests are likely
10 occur US the police now believe they are cog
infant of the exact facts in the case. When the
report ui the hold-up was made to Policemen
Ais and Renhart Wednesday night, the man max
ing the complaint gave his name as james GILES
and that OF the woman Lottie Brown, OF los
Kreamer Street northeast. 1t has subsequently
developed that Miss Brown, who lives at 1914
KTcamer Street, was not with Giles, but was al
home at the time the holdup was committed
This fact was learned by Detective Horne and the
police of the Fourth precinct, who have been
working on the case. Giles address was given at
1915 Four-and a half Street southwest, and en-
duiry there revealed that the man was out OF the
city and will not he back until today. He is a
railroad brakeman, and it is said is out on a
freight train. The police claim now that the
woman who was with Giles at the time OF the
hold-up is Dora Linkns, who is also known as
Dora Scott She was seen by the police last night,
and is said to have admitted that she was with
the man Giles. The police are now inclined TO
discrcdit the theory of robbery, as they claim
that Giles was not known man who would he
likely 10 have as much S. III his possession.
