A FALSE
CHARGE OF ,
ROBBERY

The positive assertion made by a woman
in New York last Tuesday has not only
caused "A reputable citizen of Providence
a great deal of annoyance. but Will re-
suit In much trouble for one or two New
York newspapers as well as the persons
who made the complaint and arrest.
on June 18th Mrs. Jennie +. Chap
man Of l45 West Forty-eighth street was
robbed OF $500 worth or diamond jewelry
which was stolen from her house by a
young man who had secured lodgings
there.
Some time later and after looking over
the collection Of photographs OF crooks
at detective headquarters, she identified
one OF the pictures as that OF the man
who had robbed her.
The crook was brought In and easily
established ar alibi. That experience
ought 10 have put the police on their
guard, but 1t seems not to have had that
effect.
Tuesday, as Mrs. Chapman was passing
through Chinatown. she espied a young
man whom she was sure was the thief.
She grabbed hold OF him and held him
until an officer could come and send the
man in a hurry-up wagon.
This time she was absolutely certain
that she had the right one 'bagged.,
The young man happened 20 be John ID.
Harper. night clerk at A. HoXie's restau-
rant. 81 and 90 Washington street, this
city. and whose father. Thomas Harper,
lives at 10 Washburn street.
Mr.. Harper wired 10 his father that
ne was I'm trouble and asked for assist
anCe.
At the same time the New York police
wired 10 Capt. Cannon and asked him II
he knew John ID, Harper and could locate
him as having been at work for Mr..
HoXie on June 18th as Harper had al
legged.
This was important. so the message de-
clared, as Harper's case was 10 come up
for a hearing at 2 o'clock this after
noon.
Capt. Cannon wired an answer 20 the
effect that he knew Mr.. Harper very well,
that Mr.. Harper was OF excellent reputa-
ton; that Mr.. Harper was not only at
work at the restaurant on June 18th. as
he had alleged. but that for one year,
| ending on Sept. End. he had been away
| from the restaurant but one night, and
that was early IN February last. or
this there could be no doubt whatever.
Mr.. Harper's friends, and there are
some OF influence and financial means,
propose TO make il very warm for every
person responsible for the arrest and for
the libellous charges that were made
against him by the newspapers.
