DRUGGED AND ROBBED.
Wife of a New York Newspaper Man
Relieved of Her Diamonds.

A well-dressed woman. who has been
passing as Mrs. Julia Davis, but who
told the police that she is the
wife of a New York newspaper man,
of another name, reported yesterday
that she had been robbed of some $500
worth of diamonds and $3.50 in cash.
Within less than an hour Detectives
Murphy and Wall had recovered the
diamonds and turned them over to the
woman. 4
Mrs. Davis registered at the Marshall
House Monday of last week and stated
that she had come from Jacksonville,
and was on her way North. She had
quite display of jewelry and attract
ed some attention. On the day follow
ing she left the hotel in a cab and
was not seen again until last Monday,
when she turned up without her gems.
She declared that she had been given
Knockout drops and robbed, and her
appearance showed plainly that she
had been up against some sort of game.
Mrs. Davis told her story to
several patrolmen and was di
rected to Supt. Kelley. The head Of
the police department was witnessing
the matinee performance of THE Little
Minister" when the woman called at
the theater and sent in for him. The
superintendent left the theater hur-
riedly and went at once to headquar-
tiers with Mrs. Davis. Detectives Muir
ply and Wall were sent for and the
woman told her story to the three Off
GERS.
She stated that she had been in Flor
ida on a pleasure trip and was on her
way back home when she stopped at
the Marshall House. She had intended
to be at the hotel only until the de-
parture of the next steamer for New
York, but desired to see something of
the city during her brief stay. She
was accosted, she said, by two
men. who stated that they were con-
nected with the hotel, and who agreed
to act as pilots for her.
Mrs. Davis alleges that she got into
a cab with them, and that she was
taken to a house in the southern Sec
ton of the city. She told the officers
that she had been given knock out
drops, and that 1t was then that her
jewelry had been stolen. She admitted
having herself pawned one of the dia-
monds. but declared that the others

was under the influence of the drug.
She was unable to locate the
house where she had been stopping for
a week, but it was found later by the
detectives.
After the missing jewellery had been
recovered by the two detectives Mrs.
Davis was moved by the police from
the Marshall House to some other
boarding place. A telegram was sent
to her husband, and was signed
simply y. H. 1t stated that
she would return home at once.
The detectives stated that the wo-
man announced her determination to
leave for home Immediately, and that
no arrests will be made.

HAIR GAVE HIM AWAY.
Because of Its Color Russell Was
Remnnded for burglary.

Because of Its Color Russell Was
demanded for burglary.
But for the fact that he is dark
ably not have been remanded for trial
in the Superior Court by Recorder My
rick yesterday on the charge of bur-
glary. The color of his hair was used
against him by Detectives Stark and
Wall, who had the case in charge, and
dence they induced the Recorder to
remand the prisoner for trial.
An account of Russell's arrest for at
tempting to crack the safe of Frank
Van Giesen, a money broker, was given
in the Morning News, and his full con-
fession to Detective Wall several days
later was also given. At that time
Russell believed that the charges would
be withdrawn and that he would be
permitted to leave the city. When he
saw that he was doomed to disappoint-
ment he repudiated his confession. and
1t could not be used against him in
the preliminary examination in Police
Court.
On Monday the officers produced
negro who swore that he saw Russell
enter the place, and who was positive
that he remained in there at least two
hours. The witness left at the end of
that time and Russell was still on the
inside. The Recorder was not altogeth-
er satisfied with this evidence and a
further continuance of the case was
had.
In his confession Russell told how he
hid under a mattress and of his work
which caused his hair to become
disheveled. When he was forced to give
up his attempt to crack the safe as
being a bad job, the young man stat
ed that he brushed his hair and de-
scribed the way in which the comb and
brush rested near small looking glass.
This point in the prisoners confession
had been better left unsaid.
The detectives swore yesterday that
Mr.. Van Giesen is a pronounced blonde
and that his hair Is of a very light
shade. They also proved hat the mon
ey broker is the only person who uses
the comb and brush referred to by
Russell in his confession. The detec-
tives also called attention to the fact
that the prisoners hair is black and
told of the finding Of strands of black
hair left in the brush. This corrobora-
tive evidence in connection with the
other testimony produced by the Of
ficers prompted Recorder Myrick to
remand the prisoner for trial.

HELD UP A BIG DEAL
ERROR IN AN ORDINANCE DELAYED
A $4,000 PURCHASE.
MAYOR THOUGHT PRICE HIGH.
AND ASKED THAT THERE BE FUR
Their CONSIDERATION.

Judge Thomas VI. Norwood Had Pa
pers Drawn Up for the Transfer of
n Large Tract South of FOrty-Sec-
.ond street, West. 10 the City.
Technically Made the Ordinance
Authorizing the Purchase of the
Land Void-Committee Meeting to
Be Held To-day for the Further
Confederation of the Projected
DeaI-Interest on the Purchase, the
Mayor Said, Would Cost City $1,000
n Year.
"A real estate transfer of some inn
portance was held up yesterday by
Mayor Myers. Judge Thomas M Nor
wood appeared at the city Exchange
and notified the Mayor that he would
have all the papers necessary to the
transfer of certain lands to the city in
readiness for signatures tomorrow at
noon.
This induced the Mayor to look into
the matter of the projected deal. He
obtained the ordinance passed at the
last meeting of the City Council, au-
thorizing the purchase of lands south
of Forty second street, between the
lines of West Broad street. extended,
and Florence street, extended, and the
lines of Florence street, extended, and
the Ogeechee road.
A technical error was found in the
ordinance. Instead of setting forth
that the Committee on City Lots should
be he ordinance
vided that it should be done by the
Streets and Lanes Committee. The du-
ties of the latter copmittee, however,
do not extend to such purchases, which
fall under the especial care of the
Committee on City Lots. The ordi-
nance must have been improperly
drawn.
Mayor Myers found something else
that interested him in connection with
the deal. 1t is prescribed in the ordi-
nance that the lands between West
Broad street, extended, and Florence
street, extended. shall be bought for
not more than cents a square foot,
and those between Florence street, ex-
tended, and the Ogeechee road for not
more than III cents a square foot.
This, the Mayor said, meant about
500, 900, an amount that he considered
too great to be expended for lands be-
yond the city limits. Mayors notes,
the usual method of giving payment
for lands bought by the city, were, IL
is true. to be given, but the Mayor said
that they would bear interest at per
cent, which would mean that the pur-
chase would cost 1000 a year until
the four and five year notes that were
to be given should have matured.
The expenditure, therefore, is of a
magnitude, the Mayor thinks, to de-
mand furtheE consideration. The COM
mittee will meet to-day at 1890 o'clock
at the City Exchange, when the mat
ter will be gone into thoroughly.
