{ BY 3 YOUTHS
Harris EdeIstein, Of This City,
Had Experience at South
Amboy Hole -in-the- Wall.
PRISONERS FINED
Special to the EVENING NEWS.

South Amboy. Nov. 1S:-Consider-
able excitement was caused in this
city yesterday afternoon when Har-
rfs Edelstein, of Perth Amboy, had
an alteration with three youths from
Bridgeport, Conn.
Edelstein is a bedding manufac-
turer in Perth Amboy and his busi-
ness takes him to South Amboy near
ly every day. He was driving through
the "Hole-in-the-Wall" between 2
and O'Clock yesterday, when the
trio of strangers accosted him, jump
ed into his wagon. and, according to
his statements, took his money and
watch out of his pockets. A report
spread around town that a man had
been held up and crowd gathered
when the prisoners were arraigned.
Their capture was effected by Chief
Mcdonald, who had them in custody
shortly after the occurrence had been
reported to him.
When brought before the mayor
the prisoners said that they were
from Bridgeport and had been visit
Ing friends in Mechanicsville. They
gave their names as John Susshak,
James Ryno and Andrew Crossman.
They gave as an excuse that they
were out on lark and had jumped
into the wagon just for fun and rode
with him to Fourth street. 1t ap-
peared that they did some SNOWFALL
ing and damaged Edelstein's hat.
The mayor fined the prisoners SO
each, and many considered that they
got off easy after causing so much
trouble. 49, -..'s-
Mr.. Edelstein called at the NEWS
Office this morning and was quite in
dignant at the light sentences impos-
ed upon the above trio. He asserts
that they took his watch and pocket
book from his pockets, but did not
keep them, as the purse contained
only sixty cents in cash and the
watch was cheap one. He declared
that one of the officers told him that
had 1t been In Perth Amboy the pris-
oners would have gone to Jail for sew
eral months. They had no money,
says Mr.. Edelstein, and had come to
South Amboy ON freight train.
