ROBBERS on TROLLEY CAR.
Four Made Vicious Attack on Philadelphia
Who Fought Back.

Four robbers assailed a passenger on a
Delaney street trolley car at loon yester-
day, but the passenger fought back and
hung on TO his watch and pocketbook.
When the fight was over one of the thieves
was in the hands of the police, while the
passen ger was minus nothing but his watch
glass. which was broken in the row. He
had several bumps, however, and three
loosened teeth.
The passen ger, who later became COM
p~lainant in the Essex Market police court,
was Herman Galerman of 5o4 North Third
street, Philadelphia. The defendant gave
his name as Joseph Finkelstein of 224 East
Thirteenth street.
Galerman. who is a horse dealer came
to New York on Wednesday,. VIII en- he
boarded a De .ancey street car yesterday be
asked the conductor how to get to an address
on East Third street. Four young men who
had been listening at once assaulted Caller
man. They SUI rounded him and punched
him in the nose and behind the ear and in
the mouth. One Of them tried to get Caller
mans watch and p~ocketbook.
Galerman though small was game. With
one hand he protected his valuables and
Of his assailants to the floor. He was
knocked on top Of the fallen thief, but be
etill clun e 70 his watch and money.
BY this time the car was in an uproar.
Some of the passengers went to Galerman' e
aid, ard the piekpockets fought to escaEe.
One Of them knocked Galermen of the
car, and all took to their heels. Finkel-
stein, the one who had been Knocked Gown
by Galerman, was the last to get free, and
the crowd chased him into a billiard room at
313 Broome street.
Detective Sergeants McDonough and
Mccarthy were at Delaney street ard the
Bowery when the row occurred. They at
once ran after the crowd and arrived at the
Broome stieet billiard parior just after
Fir kelstein ran into the place. Showing
their shields, the cops quieted the crowd
found Finkelstein hiding in a box. He
was dragged out and identified by Galerman
Galerman wen to court to make a com
plant. His purse, which contained $3.50,
was torn in the scrap, but the money was
| intact. Magistrate Baker, held the de-
| PENDANT in 81 500 for examination to-day.

ED. RICE OUT OF THE TONES.
Former Theatre Manager Gets Bail-His
"CrIme, Was Assuming Others, Debts.

Edward E. Rice. remembered by theatre
goers since the days OF "~Evangeline, was
released from the Tombs yesterday on
$1,000 bail. He was locked up two days
ago on the complaint of Baltimore hotel
keepers, who say that he violated the hotel
act there.
After his release Mr. Rice said that he
had not defrauded the hotels in the sense
of the act. He said that when his The
Shopgirl" company got in straits a week
before Christmas a year ago he was hard
pressed for money He did not want to
see the members Of his company stranded,
80 he went to tile hotels, and after paying
part of the bills the members of his COM
pany owed he promised to make good the
rest. At no time had he contracted to pay
the hotel bills Of his company.
Il don't think, said Thomas j. Sullivan.
Mr.. Rice's lawyer, that Mr.. Rice should
ever have beer arrested. He did not de-
fraud the hotels in the manner specified by
the law-that a man who enters a hotel
must pay his bills. Mr. Rice simply assumed
the Indebtedness of members of his COM
pany and he has been doing his best to pay
up. If anything, it should have been a
civil action"
