ROBBERS MAKE
GIRL A DECOY
Joseph Brzezinski, Saloon
Keeper, Pacific Street, Is
Victim of Bold Thugs
ATTACKED IN HIS ROOM
Raynie Langford Calls On
Him and Is Present When
the Crime Is Committed

Joseph Brzezinski. proprietor of
temperance saloon at 4O2 Pa
cific street took sudden fancy
to Raynie Langford early yesterday
morning and as result he is mourn
ing the loss of $3.50 and Raynie, Jo-
seph May. a bartender, William Jer-
rett. a porter, and John Duzske, a sail
or are under arrest pending develop
ments.
Brzezinski's daughters assist him in
the saIoen and leave at midnight to
go to their home. Brzezinsh has a
bedroom in the rear of the saloon,
which he occasionally uses. After his
daughters had taken their departure
at midnight Tuesday Raynie went to
his room about 8 o'clock. In few
minutes she screamed and the door
leading from the basement into Brze-
zinski's room was forced open, al
though doubIy bolted, and two men
sprang upon him.
One of them seized him by the neck
and choked him, while the other went
through his pockets, taking $3.50. He
tried to struggle with them, but was
thrown to the floor. The two men and
the girl then made their escape. The
screaming is supposed to have been
the signal for the men to appear.
AS soon as Brzezinski recovered he
shouted for the police. His cries were
heard by Policeman Attridge and Spe-
cial officer GilIen, who saw two men
standing in the doorway of a house
opposite the saloon. They could not
give satisfactory explanation of what
they were doing there and when taken
before Brzezinski he identified them
as the two men who had robbed him.
They were Jerrett and Duzske. The
two men were taken to the City Prison
and locked up in ''the tanks"
Detectives Dinan and Wren arrested
Raynie in Joseph Mays room on Pa
cific street. May was also placed un-
der arrest. They all professed to
know nothing of the robbery. care
full search was made for the stolen
coin, but no trace of 1t could be found.
Brzezinski had another look at Jer-
rett and Duzske in the prison yester-
day afternoon and again positively
identified them as the robbers. He
said Jerrett had seized him by the
neck, where he showed the marks of
finger nails. He saw the girl talking
to two men before she came into his
room.
