scjous condition on the floor of her Of
flee. When she recovered consciousness
at the Emergency Hospital, where she
was taken for treatment, she said she
had been ovcrpowered, chioroformed and

The truth of her assertion was estab-
lished by the verdict of the jury which
heard the testimony against her.
The story of the robbery as told by
Mrs Dickinson at the time of its oc-
currence was repeated by her on the wit
Eess stand yesterday. The most search
ing cross-examination by Assistant Dis
trict Attorney Easby-Smith failed 70
disturb her testimony in any way.
Her story of the affair is in brief: On
the afternoon of the date mentioned
when she was about leaving the build
She turned her head and saw the per
son was a man.
He placed one of his hands over her
mouth From Inat moment she remen-
bered nothing until she regained con-
sciouSnesS at the hospital
Mrs Dickinson was discovered by the
porter, lying on the floor. Beside her
was a small bottle, and a handkerchief
stained with blood. Her hand satchel in
which she carried the company.s money,
was open, and d few pennies were lying
about the floor.
The police. after investigating the
matter, declined to believe Mrs. Dickin-
son. and she was indicted for embezzIe-
nent- Mrs Dickinson was represented
by Attorneys Joseph E. Sullivan and
John 3. Daish.
BY order of Justice Gould Mrs. Dickin-
son was discharged. from custody when
the verdict was announced.
