Metropolis.

NeNEOpONas
Clipper, confident and fearless, an ex-
perienced salesman from Maiden Lane
jewelry house. carrying a grip containing
$4,000 OF jewels. started across Brooklyn
bridge at dusk one evening last week.
The salesman was onto his Job and was
particularly alert against the chance OF
losing his grip. But he lost II just the
same. This Is the way the Job was done:
As the salesman climbed the stairs at the
bridge he noticed thickly set man. poorly
dressed and with unshaven face, jostling
about in the crowd as IL half drunk. This
man got into the same car of n bridge
train with him and talked loudly as the
train proceeded. The salesman took up a
position in the center of the car near the
middle door. for he wanted TO be where he
could get out quickly n there was any
row. In order more safely to guard his
jewel box he held It under his legs and
pressed it with both his legs and feet
against the underbody of the scat on which
he sat.
When the train slowed up to discharge
passengers on the Brooklyn side the rois-
terer said something particularly offensive
to another unkempt individual near him.
Instantly blows were struck and one OF
the contestants fell against the salesman.
The other struck in the direction of the
opponent, but hit the salesman. The sales
man raised q hand to ward off another
blow the side door of the car was thrown
Open there was rush of passengers to
get out, the salesman was carried out in
the rush and the jewel box was gone.
The salesman went back into the car as
soon as he could. thinking he might find
the jewel box near his seat. 1t wasn't
there. He asked a guard. and the guard
told him he had seen a man pick up and
carry out case of the description given.
He ran up the stairs and over the bridge
leading to elevated trains. but was too late
to come up with the robber
The grip contained $50 pieces of jewelry.
They were in the shape OF harvest moons,
bowknots, mercury wings, stars and hearts
all set with diamonds or other stones:
there were fifty rings set with diamonds,
rubies, pearls, emeralds or combinations
of stones; there were thirty single stone
diamond rings, six watches, about seventy
five pins of various designs set with va
rious Jewels and a score of lockets.
