Halt a dozen Brooklyn detectlves spent
yesterday afternoon and evening trying TO
hnd out Just how, why and TO whom Jennie
Hakol, the seventeen-ycar-old daughter Of
samuel Sakol Of 40 Stone avenue, lost
d, 500 yesterday afternoon. That she did
lose II and that two young men o Il from
her the girl repeatedly declared. The de-
toctives do not doubt this. nor that the
money was taken in broad daylight, an
hour before noon, at East New York avenue
and Sackman street. But they hint that In
their Judgment n 10 far from being a plain,
unvarnished, uncomplioated case Of holdup
and robbery.
Samuel Sakol lie q middle aged jew who
lives In tho heart Of the Brownsville dis
trict. He keeps a little saloon at 4l0 Stone
avenue and q tiny assembly room over Il,
where various jewish fraternal orders
meet and many Of the Brownsville families
have their numerous weddings and parties.
Miss Jennie has recently done a good
deal OF her fathers business, keeping his
books and accounts for him, making out his
deposit slips and going TO and from the
Atlantic branch Of the Union Bank at
and cash. Yesterday morning Sakol gave
Jennie checks amounting to 81 1902 to de-
post and also he drew a check against
his own account for 81 500, telling her to
cash it for him.
Jennie started out about half past 10 to
carry the checks to the bank. She got
there safely, deposited the checks and
oashed her fathers 81, 500 check. The
teller at the bank says he gave her $500
in one dollar bills, s525 in five dollar bills
and $40 in silver. Then she started out,
presumably for home. .
Several persons later told the police that
they heard her scream n saw two men
whipping up a horse attached to a delivery
wagon. But nobody could be found who
witnessed the attack.
Jennie herself says that near the corner
Of Sackman street and East New York
avenue a we'll dressed, clean shaven young
man, whom she remembered having seen
earlier in the morning in her fathers saloon,
jumped out of a doorway, struck her a
blow on the temple thai kr ocked her dow
seized the little handbag in which she car
ried the cash, leaped into a delivery wagon
that was standing by the curb and drove
| rapidly away. There was another man in
the gon, she says.
The wagon, according TO he girl, bore
the inscription M, A. Weiss That was
aEOuJ tD6 only CluS Bio Soupu BlNc lllC
police to work upon and several detectives
were at ono assigned to try and hunt up
the wagon.
Later in the after Don two Headquarters
men took the CIR. to Brooklyn detective
headquarters to see If she could identify
any Of the or rats in the Iogoles' gallery
as that OF her assailant. She failed 10 do il.
But while the detectives are working on
the case they are not throwing themselves
into it with all the gallant enthusiasm
which perhaps should ohara ~cterize the pur-
suit OF the brutal and unprincipled assailant
Of a young and guileless girl. There are
various circumstances contributing to this
result.
One OF them is the fact that though Jennie
AYERS that she was hit on the temple will
suoh force as to knock her dow she shows
no marks Of violence such as might rea-
sonably be expected to appear. Another
is the absence Of any witness who actually
saw the attack, though the spot where It
occurred is a %populous and busy one and
| scores Of persons were near the place at the
time. -.
They point out further that in order that
suoh a robbery might be successful it must
have been committed by some one who
was very we'll informed of the business meth
dds Of the Sakol household, even down to
the route Jennie pursued going to and
from the hank. Such a man, they think,
