TAKEN FOR A
HACK DRIVE
AND ROBBED
Rough Experience of
w. II. Woods.
CLAIMS HE WAS DRUGGED
ONE OF HIS ALLEGED DESPoIL-
ERS IN JAIL.
After Being Unconscious for Several
Hours He Awoke and Found
Himself Lying on a
Country Road.

w. H Woods, a sailor on the training
ship independence, yesterday complained
to the police that he had been drugged
and robbed by hackman whom he had
met last Friday night. Woods, according
to his own story, was taking n the
sights when he met Joe" Miller, hack
driver, who has a stand at Washington
and Kearny streets. Anxious to see
relative whom he had not met for several
years, Woods instructed the hackdrlVer
TO take him to his home.
Woods remained there only a short time,
and returning to the hack he invited MIL
Ter to have drink with him. They re-
paired to a saloon in the vicinity OF Sew
enth and Howard streets and had several
drinks at the expense of Woods Shortly
afterward they were joined by another
haCkdriYer, who is known to his associ-
ates as Babe" Woods remembers re-
entering the hack, but from that time his
mind is a blank.
When he awakened several hours later
he found he had been asleep on the road
near the Six-mile House. His purse, con-
Woods walked to police headquarters,
where he told his story TO Captain Sey-
Inspector Bowlan on the case, and in a
short time he arrested Miller and charged
him with robbery. At the City Prison he
was positively identified by Woods as his
The identification was amusing, to say
the least. Miller was lined up with four
prison TRUSTEES. and Woods was asked il
he could pick out the man who had
drugged and robbed him. After critically
surveying. the gang Woods walked over to
Miller and threatened TO break his Jaw.
Let him go for a minute, Sergeant,
he pleaded. IF 1 don't send him to the
Morgue I'll give you my years wages.
Fearing that Woods intended to assault
the hackman in the prison, Bowlan or
dered Miller locked up and then escorted
the pugnacious sailor from the scene.
The police are looking for Babe" the
other hackman. and they are inclined to
believe that he mad a hand in the rob-
berry.
