AN ECHO Of
A ROBBERY
MISS BARBEAU SEEKS TO RE-
COVER JUDGMENT FOR VALUE
OF A GARMENT.
THE COAT WAS STOLEN
WHILE AT THE FURRIER'S
The Latter Thought He Should Not be
Required to Pay-Matter Taken
Under Amusement.

An echo of a big robbery that occurred
in this city between 1880 o'clock and
daylight in the morning of October s, was
heard in Justice Nichols court today.and
it bristled with visions of dark lanterns,
choroform masked men and few other
things that made the fur fly.
The echo was in the shape of the trial
of suit brought by Della Barbeau
against J. NJ. Froelich to recover judg-
ment for $500. the alleged valuation of
an otter coat which the plaintiff left with
Froelich on August l to be repaired at
an expense of $50 and which was stolen
from Froelich's store at ~ West Broad
way along with other fur goods worth
more than $4,000. In view of the fact
that the garment was in the keeping Of
Froelich at the time it disappeared the
plaintiff considered him responsible for
its safe return to her, but failing to get
it ahead of someone else she concluded
to secure a Judgment for it's equivalent
value. Froelich fought the case on the
ground. that. having taken what he con-
sidered necessary precaution against the
invasion of his store by land pirates, he
was not responsible. Miles Cavanaugh
Kirk the defendant.
Froelichs testimony showed that at
about 1880 o'clock on the night of Oc-
tober he had gone out with a couple of
friends and partaken of three or four
glasses of beer: that he returned to his
store about 1880 O'clock. examined the
interior of it and found everything all
right. and then retired to his bed on the
landing above the main floor; that after
drifting into sweet dreams someone or
two had entered the store by the way of
the front door and carried off by way of
the rear entrance about $3.50 worth of
his own stuff and about as much more
belonging to persons who had left fur
garments with him to be mended. Among
these garments was the $500 otter coat
belonging to the plaintiff. Froelich said
he slept in his factory in order to watch
his goods, but at the time OF the robbery
he musthave been under the influence of
chloroform administered by the burg
lars, as he heard nothing and did not
know he had been touched until he got
up after the break of day. He had, he
further said, a loaded gun on his bed
and when he heard noise he just said
come in" He had offered Detective
Murphy 500 to recover the goods for
him, but the detective had failed to To-
cate them
The plaintiff testified that along about
October 2, she had gone to Froelich's
store after the coat and had the money
with which TO pay for the fixing it re-
qured but it was not finished and she
left it.
After the argument the court took the
matter under Amusement and will rem
der decision al 10 o'clock tomorrow.

calendar has not been made up by the
clerk, but it is understood several crimi-
nal cases are on the docket for the Janu-
airy term.
But "a serious problem confronts Judge

criminal cases will be continued for the
reason that the county Jail is under
quarantine and will he until the 14th inst.

tended if any cases of small poX develop
in the meantime. The prisoners con-
fined in the jail came in contact With the

few days before the new year and sent

authorities alleged, with an attack OF
varioloid, and of course they We're ex-
posed to the disease. 1t is not likely that
the court nor the attorneys will take any
chances by bringing and criminals into

ughly fumigated hut never the less the
court officials fear that the disease is still
lurking about and they will not feel safe
until the quarantine is raised.
