The highwayman was stationed at
a bend In the road where he was
invisible from either direction At

passengers, and after relieving them

bandit enacted seven times

force on the brake handle, but the
car hit her and l felt the wheels
crush her body"
An examination of the body show
ed that the woman was about 38
years old. She was stout, and her
body had become so wedged between
the fender, the carwheels and the
track that the car was derailed.
The conductor, John Meehan,
knew nothing of the struggle until
next instant came the motorman' s
cry of alarm and the shock that
threw him violently against the body
of the car. He caught himself and
looked out over the side of the plat
form. He then first saw the two
men responsible for the deed. Both
were running east on the south side
walk of Nineteenth Street.
Meehan threw open his gate and
dashed after them. AS he did SO he
was conscious that one of them dis
appeared in some doorway not far
down the block. He ran on after
the other. But this man had already
long start, and Meehan soon lost
heart and gave up.
Those on the car looked up Police
man Joseph Stanton, the patrolman
on the beat where the deed, took
place Sergeant Ryle and Patrolman
Schneider and Tewhy joined him.
They searched the entrance of the
houses half way down the block,
Notwithstanding that they found an
open side entrance, with a woman
shopping bag lying ON the floor in
side at the very first house. The
door, open at the time, led into a
hallway, with staircase that ran
past several floors of dwelling quar-
tiers to the roof. 1t would have been
easy for the fugitive to gain the roofs
by this route, and afterwards make
his way down at leisure through
the scuttle of some other house.
The bag was a wreck, the handle
torn off, the opening Of the bag it
self almost wrenched apart. Inside
it was found $3.50 in bills and small
change.
Both motorman and conductor
were placed under arrest to await
the action of the coroner Detectives
were sent out to look for the two
unknown men accused of the wom-
ans death.
