Ida Weiner, an orphan twenty-eight years
old, made complaint yesterday afternoon to
Magistrate Hand that her fance, Charles
COllett, had not only disappointed her. on
her wedding day. but had disappeared with
$3.50 belonging to her.
Last week the young woman had Collett
before the same magistrate an allega-
ton of breach of promise knowing both
ot them, the judge tried to settle the case,
advising Collett to marry Miss Weiner, as
it was plain she was very much in love and
would make a good wife.
With Cupid on one side and justice the
other, Collett capitulated and the wedding
was set for yesterday morning. To show
how much she loved him Miss Weiner sug-
gested that they pool their finances at once.
She put in $500 and he $500 and the
money was turned over to him.
In bridal attire Miss Weiner waited in
vain yesterday for the arrival of the bride
groom. Judge Hand reported the matter
to Detectives Johnson and Doran, who
found that the young man had taken an
early train for New York. Miss Weiner
followed. accompanied by an officer in
hopes of finding Collett and bringing him

MAN CHASE IN FIFTH AVENUE.
Burglar Escapes Pursuing Pack by
Diving Into the Subway.

NEW YORK, September u.-Mrs. l..
W1nans, who lives on the fourth floor of an
apartment house at 2S7 9TH avenue across
the street from the Holland House. found
a negro In her room early yesterday after
noon When she screamed the intruder
seized her handbag. containing about $40
and some valuable legal papers, and ran out
onto the street. He was chased but finally
escaped on subway train at the 33d street
station.
Mrs. Winans, who owns the Ionia Hotel
in Chicago, which is a subject of litigation
at present was asleep couch in her
apartments when she was disturbed by
noise by her side. She awoke to find a
negro, whom she describes over six feet
tall and well dressed. standing by her couch
with his shoes in his hand.
When Mrs. Winans started to get up the
negro ran to a bureau and grabbed her
handbag and a comb set with briliants.
Then he brushed past her through the door
and down the stairs. On the stoop he met
Miss Edith 1sabou, who lives in the house,
ascending the steps. She heard Mrs.
Winans' cries and grabbed at the negro.
He shook off her hold and jumped to the
sidewalk, running with his shoes still In
his hand up 9th avenue to 31st street. Cab
men across the street in front of the Hol
land House and pedestrians started after
him in full cry. The negro kept ahead of
his pursuers down 31st street to Park ave-
nue., then up IN the direction of the subway
station at SD street
Just before he reached the station the
negro, seeing that the crowd was gaining
on him, stopped and made a move to hts
hip pocket if to draw a revolver. That
checked his pursuers and he dived into the
subway, managing to catch a southbouud
train which was just pulling out.
Mrs. Winans reported to the Tenderloin
station last night that the papers that were
in her handbag were of great value to her,
