New York, Jan. 31.-"I'n get re-
venge, you murderer shrieked a IT.
year-old girl in Butler street police
court, Brooklyn, yesterday. Leaping
upon the prisoner at the bar, she
clutched at his throat and struck him
again and again in the face.

whom she tried to kill with her bare
slayer Of her father.
Rosene had just. been led into the
court room to answer to the charge
of murder in the first degree. A big
crowd crowded against the rail. Most
of them were sympathizers with the
girl and her mother, who sat alone in
the rear, or were friends of the muir
dered man. who was shot to death on
his way home last October.
AS the prisoner was brought before
the bar to pleaG to the charge he
asked permission first to consult with
lawyer, Harry Ritano. Magistrate
Geismar agreed, and Rosene was led
by a policeman from the pen behind
the rail toward the spot where the
lawyer was stan dings . AS. he passed
the girl she broke through the. police
men who surrounded the prisoner and,
crying out at the top Of her voice,
sought to grip her fingers about his

trembling with fright, lodged back

content herself with raining blows on
his face.

struggled with the policeman, who
tried to pull her away. ''I'll shoot you
as you shot my father! Murderer
Just back of her the mother fought
to keep back the officers so that her
daughter might get at Rosene. The
crowd, too. surged toward the COM
batants, evidently wishing to help the
girl deal out summary punishment !;
but the magistrate sent every police
, man in the room to aid the others, and
the enraged mother and daughter
We're restrained until the terror-strick-

THEY NURSE THE BABY.
And Then the Burglars Tied Up
Doctor With His Own Bandages. s.

While the police are searching today
for two burglars who robbed the home
of DIR. D. B. Blumstein, at 333 West
Thirty-seventh street, the physician and
his young wife are wondering whether
they ought to prosecute such kind and
amiabIe men. The 13-months-o baby
of DR.. and Mrs. Blumstein is the peace
maker in this most unusual robbery
for while the doctor was bound and
gagged and Mrs. Biumstein was held
in her bed with a revolver at her head,
one of these kind burglars carried the
baby, which had commenced to cry, all
about the apartment and talked the
incest baby talk to it and petted it with
all the caresses and sweet words he
knew.
One Of the robbers was DR.. Blum

and he told the doctor at the time that
his name was Smith and he lived in
Twenty-sixth street. The physician
treated him once or twice. and saw no
more of him until Christmas midnight,
when Smith and another man appeared
at the doctors home. At the door Smith
told the physician he needed more med
icine, and DIR. Blumstein sat down to
write him a prescription.
A moment later revolver was press
ed at the doctors temple by Smith,
who said:
I'VE aren't regular burglars. but we
need the money. We want all you've
got Do not be alarmed, but come down
with the cash."
The physician tried to get them to
take his surgical instruments. but they
declared nothing but cash would answer
They bound the doctor with his own
apartment. Going to the room where
Mrs. Blumstein was sleeping, they
awakened her and. with the revolver
close to her face, told her to be quiet
while they hunted for the pocketbook.
Then the baby began to scream.
Smiths partner picked the child up
and danced about the room with IL,
calling it pretty names, strokfng It's
face and tickling it's chin. In a few
moments he had quoted the infant and
put it on a couch, assuring its mother
that he wouldn't hurt it for the world.
