THE TENDERLON PANICKYY
MURDER At TOBEYS HAS MADE
POLICE VERY ANGRY.

HpecNAPuiAF attest OF bibuuhu 1870
Her weird story Of How the Fatal
Fraeas ataFted-Plnk PAJamas Chased
Down Fire EscaDe-say Clark DID IT,
These are dread days in the hangouts Of
the Tenderloin In Fitz's, in Paddy's, In
Mothers and five OF six other saloons under
ground and above ground In the streets
tributary TO Broadway. the men and women
at the tables jump and start every time
stranger enters. The hunt for the man
who stabbed Kid Joyce in Tobey's has
demoraized the nerve Of the grafters, the
parasites and the women who make these
their resting places from the pTomenading
Of Broadway.
Twelve persons have been arrested.
Some were Ministries who flung their voices
against the soiled wallpaper In Tobey's
restaurant when they were not occupied
In serving drinks. One was a part pro-
prietor Of Tobey's. -Four we're women
who described themselves as seamstresses,
but who lived in unsavory hotels and walked
the streets until daylight The others were
for the most part men Of the type who
follow these women and wheedle or bull
doze their money away from them.
Proprietor Quincy and his singing walters
were arrested technically, for violation
Of the excise law Then they were held
as witnesses In the murder case. There
would seem TO be more or less reason for
suspicion that the excise law was being
violated. inamuch as there were seventy
Ave people in the place when Joyce was
killed at half-past ? O'Clock in the morning
and inasmuch as the fight started with
the throwing Of glass Of beer In a womans
face by one Of the gang who had gone into
the establishment TO do up Barney Doyle.
the proprietor.
The police authorities in the Tenderloin
we're greatly outraged by the murder.
They regard It as a breach Of faith, In a
way, when a place that Ia violating the law
draws attention to the fact by anything
80 crude and unnecessary as a murder.
Hence the large number Of arrests beyond
the number really needful for the collec-
ton Of information as TO Kid Joyces slayer.
The most spectacular arrest Of all was
that Of Diamond Lottie, who now calls
herself Lottie Fitzgerald She was in the
crowd in which the fight occurred. Her
arrest is largely due TO the fact that with
the true melodramatic instinct Of women
OF her manner Of life, she has been for t wo
days trying to prove that she is the heroine
Of the battle in "Tobey's.'
Detective Sergeant Mallon heard Of her
stories along the knock out drop route
and felt it proper 10 take Lottie into GUS
10 dy. He knew that she was living in
fat In West Forty-siEth street At the
door Of the fat hallOn was opposed by a
big negroes. He pushed her aside in time
TO see fash Of pink at the window and to
hear scream.
For nome Mt he believed that Lottie
had leaped 70 the ground. But II was not
so, she had merely made wild break for
liberty down the fire escape, clad in beautiful
pink pajamas. There was nochance for
anybody In the back windows Of the block
20 miss the fact that Lottie was having
important things happen to her. Her
squeals Of terror were pinker than the
pajamas.
nalIun caught her as she was scra milling
over a fence and led her, moaLu ?, tack
20 her rooms by the front stairs. Exposed
to the street, instead Of the tack y6Iu,
Lottie said that she was disgraced for life.
and that she wished she were dead before
she had been 80 disgraced.
Honest" she exclaimed as soon Ds her
tears were dried and a sufficient audeT 90
had collected from the other apartmer o.
'Rin't q is awful? WY, say, when q l. l.
how nervous il 5 made me every time there's
been a knock at my door for the lnst two
days I'm just glad It's hsTEened. Because
there amt nothing they cen do to me, der t
you see, because / wGsL't in II directly,
though / was the cause Of it-jUst me ard
nobody else But / guess I'll come out Of
il ell right. I've got some friends With some
influence in this village that won't let Lottie
suffer long.
But how was in it? Didn't tell you
/ was the cause Of the whole business? | |
was keeping company with Red Gray.
You know how many diamonds l had two |
months ago? Well, Red and me goes TO |
Chicago and it's twenty-three with the !
shnerinos. Red and me amt met since, |
though I've been looking for him But / |
came back and married my present husband. |
so ! 20 into Tobey's 70 see what's I
doing and there's Red with his bunch. |
And he sees me, and between being Of |
guilty conscience on account Of the dla- |
monds and sore because I'D turned him !
down, he gets full. And then along comes |
a girl that looks like me, and she had dress |
the same color as mine on And Red thinks |
it's me coming for him and he gets up |
and kicks her shameful. That was what |
started the whole thing
LOttie was held as q witness.
The 20 ice still believe that the fellow |
named variously Joe Clark and Paul Regain |
is the man who had the knife when Joyce, |
Doyle and Weston we're cut. Doylei has |
identified Harry Anderson, known as |
English Harry and Harry Davis, who |
were arrested late Friday night az two |
Of the gang who we're in Tobey's at the |
time Of the murder. -Four Of those arrested |
in fat on Amsterdam avenue we're re- |
leased in the Jefferson Market police Court |
yesterday.
