and Can Identify
Him.
Approached From the
Rear and Felled TO
Ground.

Mrs. George T. Dunlop, wife ot
the president of the Capital Trac-
ton Company, was attacked about
$50 O'Clock last night almost di-
rectly in front of her own home by
an unidentified negro, who knocked
her to the ground, and snatched a
pocketbook from her hand.
Mrs. Dunlop lives at 3fO2 0
street, and was returning from a
shopping tour. She got off of a P
street car at Thirty-firSt street and
walked to Q street.
Just after she turned the corner
the negro rushed up behind and
struck her to the pavement. There
IS a coping around the parking in
front of :he Dunlop home, and as
the negro pushed her, she fell against
the raised ground.
Can Identify Him.
Before she had an opportunity
TO make any outcry, the colored
man snatched the pocketboOk from
her hand and ran up Q street. Mrs.
Dunlop managed to get a good look
at him, however, and can probably
identify him.

and Burlingame on the case, but at
a late hour last night the negro had
not been apprehended.
Mrs. Dunlop Unhurt.
President Dunlop said to a Times re-
porter that his wife was not injured or
bruised in any way as a result of the
negro's attack. She described her as
sailant as being Of heavy build and
about medium height. He wore a light
slouch hat, heavy shoes, and was
roughly dressed.
The pocketbCok contained a pin cush-
ion, a silver chain purse. So cents in
money and a latch key.
Every Policeman Notified.
Every Saturday night for several
months past there has been at least
one case of wrist bag snatching re-
ported to the police. in nearly every
instance a white woman has been at
tackled by negro. and on several oc-
casions the thief has been bold enough
to operate in crowded streets early in
The evening.
The police, however, have been re-
markably successful I'm running down
the thieves. Determined to put an end
10 the attacks upon unprotected wo-
men, Inspector Boardman had every
policeman on duty last night instructed

ant, and lOokouts were sent TO all the
precincts.

From the combination car the pas
