WAS COLD And HUNGRY
EXCUSE GIVEN BY WILLIAM MADI-
SON FOR A BOLD ROBBERY.
Smashed Pawnshop Window and
Stole 81 900 Worth of Diamonds on
Crowded New York Street.

NEW YORK, Dec. 29.-In full view OF
the passing crowds a window in the pawn
shop of r. Simpson. on West Forty-second
street, was smashed. with a stone paving
block tonight and s, 900 worth of diamonds
were stolen. Only three of the gems were
recovered after the capture of the robber.
1t is believed by the police that several
men were in the job and that the man who
broke the window passed the jewels to con-
federates.
After an exciting chase, which was en-
tered into by hundreds of men, the robber.
who drew a pistol and fought desperately
for his liberty, was captured. He was more
dead than alive when the police rescued
him from the crowd of pursuers. He is
nineteen years old and calls himself Will
liam Madison, of Boston.
1t was one Of the most daring robberies
heard of in New York for a long time.
The shop was about to close, when paw
ing block covered with paper crashed
through window and i'm an instant a
tray of diamonds, rings and pins disap-
peared. One of the clerks jumped over the
counter and pursued the man who broke
the window. A great crowd followed, and
when the man was overtaken he was
buried under score of men and so badly
battered that physicians services were
required. Madison said he came here a
week ago and was prompted to commit
the deed by cold and hunger. 1t is said
at the store at the time the window was
broken there were on show about S150,00O
worth of jewels.
Madison later told the police that his
name is Angus w. Mcpherson and that
he is a bellboy at New York hotel. He
said that he was heavily in debt and
sought to relieve his financial stringency
by robbery.

aries at Fez and Tetuan for the coast.

les. The Sultan of Morocco is said to
have retired to the palace at Fee with all

sequence of a threatened attack on the
part of the rebels.
A dispatch to the Times from Tangier,
dated Dec. 20. says courier from Fee re-
ports the Christians there to be safe. The
missionary women are in the British con-
sulate. The attack on the camp occurred
at night time. 1t is reported that 1900 Of
the Sultans troops were killed. An alb
surd rumor is current, continues the cor
respondent, that the French are supporting
the rebels. AS a matter of fact, the anti
Christian movement is more dangerous to
the French than TO anybody else, as it
threatens them in Algeria.
