ONE OF TWO MEN SNATCHES POCKET
BOOK FROM A WOMAN LEADING
HER BLIND MOTHER.

While taking her aged and blind mother. Mrs
Arnstein. for walk in Central Park yesterday.
Mrs. Hattie Guggenheim. wife Of Adolph Gug-
genhem, diamond dealer at No 90 Nassau
ST., living at No. 1.O04 Madison-ave. was at
tackled by two men in Seventy -eighth-st., near
Fifth-ave.. and robbed of her pocketbook. con-
tanning small sum of money.
Mrs. Arnstein was so frightened that she became
hysterical. and after being assisted home by a
policeman of the Central Park Squad had to
have the family physician called in to treat her.
The two men were arrested and arraigned in
the Yorkville Police Court. where they waived
examination and were held for trial in bail Of
81, 600 each They described themselves as
Henry F. Harding, twenty-six years old, Of No.
265 West undred-and-eighteenth-st, and
Arthur Brooks, butler. Of the same address.
Both were athletic looking and we'll dressed.
They wore kid gloves and patent leather shoes
Mrs. Guggenheim was leading her mother east
through Seventy-eighth-st.. and was near to
Fifth-ave The two men approached from Madi-
son-ave.. and walked hastily up behind the two
women They separated and started to go past.
Harding it is alleged then made quick snatch
and got Mrs. Guggenheim's pocketbook from her
hand. He then darted past the two astonished
women and ran toward Fifth-ave.. apparently
intending to disappear into the Park Brooks

headed Harding OH as he ran toward the Park.
Harding, seeing this move, turned back toward
the two women, who still stood where they were
when first attacked. Running up TO Mrs.
GUggenheim, he thrust her pocketbOOk back into
her hand. saying;
Here. take your purse and stop your scream
ing"
II don't want the pOclSetbook. retorted Mrs.
Guggenheim, II want you"
Then she started after Harding. who had run
east toward Madison ave In the mean time
Patrolmen O'Brien and DOlan, of the Park
Squad. had appeared O'Brien ran after Hard
fierce fight. DOlan arrested Brooks after he
had run up Madson-ave. to Seventy-ninth-st.
Both men were taken to the Yorkvile Police
Court. where Mrs. Guggenheim. after she had
taken her mother home and seen after her COM
fort, appeared against them She positively
identified them the two men who had at
tackled her, and said she would press the case
as far as possible. The prisoners refused to
say anything.
within a year that she has been robbed in a
similar manner. The first time, about five
months ago. the thieves got away. One was

stranger showing considerable irritation but

ceived from him week ago, saying that he
would meet me here this afternoon. We are to
see Senator Hill about a political matter of great
Importance"
AS Senator Hill was in town Mr. Carter
thought that perhaps the stranger knew what he
was talking about. While he was getting a
reply ready the stranger blurted out:
Well. never mind Croker-he can wait. Take
my card up TO Tod Sloan"
''Why-er-er-Tod Sloan isn't here either"
said Mr.. Carter. beginning to suspect that he
had crazy man TO deal with.
Blast your impertinence!" exclaimed the
stranger, hoty. banging his fist on the register
Il know he is here, and the Prince of Wales is
here too. and they both want to see me. I've
got 100000 of Dick Croker's money in my in
side pocket, and he and the Prince and Tod
Sloan and are going out this afternoon TO buy
a number Of horses. You want to get a move

Mr.. Carter began chatting his caller. and in the
mean time he whispered TO one Of the boys to
get policeman.

Lord Kitchener has already fulfilled the fore
casts OF experts in one respect-he has adopted
q laconic style in his bulletins. His dispatches
have declined in compass day by day since he
assumed the chief command, and single
sentence sufices for the official announcement
that the last batch Of British prisoners has
turned up at Bethule. The experts are pleased
with this economy OF words. They assert that
Lord Roberts unconsciously dignifed guerilla
warfare by devoting long bulletin TO ii daily.
and that Lord Kitchener viii minimize the Boer
operations by allowing all the petty incidents to
pass without observation. While Lord Kitch-
ener is taciturn. he is fairly aflame with energy.
Military men say that every trooper in Knoxs
columns has three horses, and that with fresh
remounts constantly available the pursuit OF De
Wet into the last ditch has been possible.
