CHARGE IS . ROBBERY.
New York Cabman
 I'm Trouble.
Buffalo Woman Says He Tried to Rob Her Driven All Around the City and Then Tried to Escape.

New York. Feb 5.--A cabman known as Moffatt has just been held for trial on charge of robbery made by Miss Clayborn Sheldon of Buffalo, who told Magistrate Barlow a remarkable story of her arrival here as stranger and her attempt to reach reputable Broadway hotel through the medium of cab.
 Miss Sheldon came from Buffalo January 10, she says, to seek q posi- tion, having achieved at home some thing of a reputation as vocalist. She had been directed to an uptown hotel, but, at the Weehawken terminal of the railroad, took the ferryboat for Franklin street instead of West For. ty-second street, and landed down town. Il told the first cabman I met that wanted to go to the hotel,'' said she. 'Hetsaid it would cost $5, and I got into the cab.
 T do not know how many miles I was driven, but hours passed. and it seemed to me as if I had made the circuit of the city several times. Every time I spoke to the cabman he said that we were getting near the hotel
 T could not understand what tue cabman meant and after we hc' passed a familiar corner I stopped the cab, determined to get out.
 Where am Ir said.
 You're near the hotel,' he re- piled.
 Well. I will walk the rest of the way I said.
 Then I tried to get out The cab man seized me and forced me into the seat
 "'You will not leave this cab,' said he, until you pay me $100' asked what for, and he told me to give up the money to avoid trouble.
 T screamed and he seized me by the throat. He told me to keep quiet for my own good, but kept on fight ing as well as could. Then he threw handkerchief over my face. I think 1t was saturated with chloroform. It made me sick. I ceased to struggle and do notsrecall anything until some time afterward I found myself lying in gutter, was dazed and sick. After 8 while was able to walk and found that I was at Forty ninth street and Eighth avenue, nearly two miles from the hotel.'
 The woman immediately sought a policeman to whom she told her story. She had been robbed of all her money. $45 a ring worth $175, her watch and many small articles.
 Perhaps the most remarkable part of the affair which had occurred in a street which is crowded night and day. then developed. From the wo- mans description the policeman inn mediately recognized the cabman and set out to find him. He has just ar rested Moffatt in a distant section of the city and learned he retired from the cab driving profession January 16 the day after the hold-up. AAe officer fully confirmed his part of the adyen- ture and Moffatt was identified in court by the complainant.
