A MIDNIGHT HOLDUP.
George Kinsley Beaten and
Robbed of $50 on Sec
ond Avenue.
JOB Is PLANNED BY A WOMAN

She Accompanies the Rock Islander From
Davenport and Has in Waiting In a DARK
and Lonely Spot Two of Her Lieu
tenants. Who Apply the Finishing
| Touches.
A robbery that is thought to have
been planned by a woman was COM
/ mitted about IL 80 last night on Sec
ond avenue between Twentieth and
ITwenty-fourth streets, the victim be-
ing George Kinsley. who says on re-
turning home from Davenport he was
pounced upon by two men. one of
whom beat him, while the other rifled
his pockets, relieving him of $50.
Kinsley went Immediately to police
headquarters and unbosomed his
trou bles. Several wounds in his
scalp contributed to the fact that he had
been roughly handled. He said he
was struck with a blunt instrument,
probably billy. He had apparently
been drinking and told story that
was rather disconnected. He said he
had gone to Davenport to purchase
clothing, but had dropped into eou-
pie of saloons in the tenderloin dis
trict and drank with friends, spend
ing only 20 cents for liquor. Kinsley
is employed at Rock Island arsenal.
Acting Chief Miller in investigating
the case today learned that Kinsley
was accompanied to Rock Island by a
woman with whom he picked up on
the other side of the river. The be-
lief is that she concocted the holdup,
knowing that Kinsley had roll of
greenbacks of sufficient proportions to
warrant the execution of a desperate
job, aud called two of her male lieu
tenants, who were in waiting when
she led Kinsley down through the rail
road yards from the Twenty-fourth
street viaduct.
Doad Hampton is detained at Dav-
export on suspicion of knowing some
thing about the holdup.
