Hold Up Miss Alice 0sterman in
the Bronx and When She Re-
sists Repeatedly Strike Her in
tfs Face.
SEIZE HER VALUABLES
AND MAKE THEIR ESCAPE.
Only One of a Series of Recent
0utrages IN That Section and
Residents Talk of Forming a
Vigilance Committee.

Miss Alice osterman. OF No. 1921 Sec.
ond avenue. is the latest victim OF the
thugs and highway robbers who have
been holding Harlem and the Bronx ir
= reign of terror for several weeks
past.
Half s%trangled. cruelty beaten, robbed
OF her purse and fur coat. Miss Oster-
man was left unconscious by W brutal
hishwaymen who attacked her on Union
venue near Westminster avenue, in
the Bronx.
She was on her way, to visit a friend
in Unionport and had left a northbound
trolley car Just before the attack. In
telling her story later she said that
both men looked about twenty years
old. Both wore SLOUGH hats. and one
4 handkerchief saturated with choloro-
form.
They sprang upon her from behind
a tree. One grabbed her about the neck
in the fashion OF the %garroters. Miss
Osterman is twenty-three years old and
athletic. She fought, and the thief
could not get his elbow under her
chin to choke her. While she was
fighting the other man struck her re-
peatedly In the face. As she sank UNI
conscious one grabbed her pocketbook.
and in doing so injured her wrist. The
purse contained only IS.
Two men who were walking along
Union avenue a few minutes later found
her lying in the snow. freezing. They
carried her to the Westchester police
station, where she was revived and
told her story. A posse % detectives
and citizens started out at once on
the trail of the highwaymen.
They we're seen running toward the
West Farms road. and 1t is thought
they escaped on a trolley car. No ar
rests " besn made up to the present
time.
The robbery OF Miss Osterman is but
one OF many that have startled the
residence section OF Harlem and the
Bronx during the past few weeks. All
are believed to have been the work OF
the Same men.
Miss Mae Faulkner. OF Mount Vernon.
was robbed of her pocketbok while
passing the rectory OF the Church OF
st. Martin OF Tours. No. s43 East One
Hundred and Eighty-third street.
William Gersten was held up and
robbed OF his watch on the IL" steps
at One Hundred n Seventy-seventh
street and Third avenue.
Bernard Mccarthy was held W on
the Kingsbridge road near One Hun
dred and Eighty-third street nj robbed
of his watch.
The citizens OF that locality are dis
cussing the formation or a vigilance
committee for the purpose of dealing
with the highwaymen.
