bling patrons of the Waldorf Astoria at
! New York OF valuable jewelry, Henry
Johnson returned TO the scene of his
successes and fell victim to his own
temerity and the aStuteness of an ole
vator boy. Johnson is suspected of be
ing a well known English hotel thief
and of robhing Lady Parker wife of Sir
Gilbert Parker of $4,000 i'll gems in
London.

while she was alighting therefrom. The
! lower courts had decided for the wom

shown that the plaintiff had kept her
seat until the car stopped ana then tried
| to alight. The defense of the car com
pany was that the woman had refused to
obey the injunction of the guard to
| step lively" and that her injuries were
due to this refusal. The court said:
The plaintiff conduct was quite I'M
usual for young, active person. She
/ remained seated, not merely until the
car slowed up. but until it had stopped.

even while the ears are slowing down,

mentum ceased altogether, and then
/ stepped back or aside for passengers to
board the car. the long distance speed
| of the cars would not equal that of Il
| pedestrian" There has long been cry
of protest against the "step lively" or
der, but Justice Laughln's decision
seems to end it all.
