PAJAMA-CLAD COP CATCHES
KISS-HUNGRY RoBBER
Apologies to Girl In Case for Appear
ing in NegIigee, Bolts for "Vil-
Iain," Who Sits Down
and Awaits Him

NEW YORK, May 31.-Henry Brown,
a little man who says he is a clerk at
100 East Ninety-third street, and looks
as harmless as a can of condensed
milk. is, according to Miss Grace Liv-
ingstone, who lives at the Manhattan
hotel a very desperate person, indeed.
Henry was arraigned in the Yorkville
court, charged with felenious assault,
and held for further examination. He
was captured by Lieutenant Tom Crys-
tai after a chase of a block at Seventy
eighth street and Lexington avenue.
Money Better Than Kiss
Crystal, who lives at 146 East Seven
ty-eighth street, heard Miss Livington's
cries when Brown, after demanding a
kiss, which she refused, dragged her
into the doorway of the house and, she
says, declared, as he didn't like her
face. anyhow, her money would do In
stead.
Brown backed up his demands with
revolver like a young gatling gun, she
says. Miss Livingstone held Browns
shooting arm and screamed for help
Lieut.. Crystal, who even in his dreams
is hero, heard her cries and though
garbed only in his pajamas, dashed
downstairs and gave chase for Henry
Brown, after apologizing for his neg
lige to Miss Livingstone. Mr.. Brown
sat on the edge of the sidewalk at Lex
ington avenue and waited for the po-
liceman to catch up.
In the East Sixty-seventh street sta
tion Miss Livingstone was emotional.
HE tried to steal my purse she sob
bed.
The purse, which was placed in the
archives for evidence, was found to
contain copper cents, program or
the Spooner stock company, packet of
hairpins, a powder rag and blue prints
of a Merry Widow hat.
Ha! The Papers!
1t is thought that Brown. acting for
a foreign government, may have been
after the blue prints.
The revolver described by Miss Liv-
ingstone could not be found OF Brown,
or in the neighborhood, and the police
think it may have been spirit weapon,
but Miss Livingstone is sure she saw "
or she would not have screamed. just
for that Lieut.. Cargan held her as

ROBBERS KILL ARTIST
AND MOTHER-IN-LAW
DISTINGUISHED PAINTER Is
FOUND STRANGLED
Says Two Men and One
Woman Committed
the Grimes
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
PARIS, May 31.-A sensation has
been caused in the art world here by
the brutal murder of the distinguished
painter, Adolphe Steinhil and his
mother-in-law, who were found stran-
gled this morning in the formers resi-
dence in the Rue de Vaugirard, which
joins the studio of Seymour Thomas,
the American portrait painter.
The house was ransacked of every
thing of value. NJ. Steinheil's wife,
who was found gagged and bound to a
bed, declares the crime was committed
by two men and a woman.
The latter she believes she recog-
nized as model who was employed
by her husband.
Aside from the brutality of the crime.
a feature of the affair is the almost in
conceivable audacity with which it was
perpetrated.
The artists house is situated close to
a. large printing works, where work is
proceeding all night An almost con-
stant stream of workmen is coming
and going all the time.
The discovery was made by Stein
heil's man servant, who arose at 6
a. IN. to prepare breakfast. Hearing
groans coming from Nine. SteinheiP S
sleeping apartments, he entered and
found her lying bound hand and foot
on the bed. A gag of cotton wool, which
she had succeeded in ejecting from her
mouth, lay on the floor A thin cord
was around her throat.
Servant Finds Master
In the passage he found the painter
dead. He was resting on his knees and
the body was bent backward. He had
been strangled by whipcord similar to
that around his wifes neck; his fea-
lures were blackened and his limbs
were already stiff.
In another bedroom was the dead
body of Nine. SteinheiPs mother. Nine
Japin. She, too, had been strangled
and and the body was fastened to the
bed
Every room in the house had beer
ransa cked and a large number of valu-
ables stolen.
The servant at once gave the alarm
and Chief Detective Hamard and other
police officers were soon on the spot
To them the wife, who had so nearly
escaped death, related in broken ac-
cents what she recollected of the
tragedy.
the morning she had been awakened
by the entrance of three men and q
woman, who sprang upon her like wild
beasts and tied her to the bed. Evil
IDENTIFY they had mistaken her for hel
16-year-old daughter, who was absent
in the country, as one of the men said:
your father had an exhibition sale OF
pictures: tell us where the money is"
She pointed to a drawer in the bu-
reau. and meanwhile the woman NUT
tered: xiii her quick. Why are you
sparing herr"
Nine. Steinhei. struck by the voice
looked at the woman and seemed &c
recognize her as one of her husband
models
Beyond this statement the police have
no clew to the murderers, and no ar
rests have been made up to midnight
They believe that the murderers en-
tered the house by means of false keys

LOVE, LEGAL TANGLES,
AIRSHIP AND BALLOON
SUIT REVEALS ELOPEMENT OF
AN AERoNAUT
Sister of Alan A. Hawley, the Air
Sailor, Sued by Her Brothers After
She Became a French
mans Bride

NEW YORK, May 31.-The first ro-
nance of ballooning in America was
revealed today by the granting of an
attachment for $7469S,50 against prop
erty of Jennie NJ. Levee. Until a few
days ago Mrs. Levee was Miss Jennie
NJ. Hawley. She is a member of a
millionaire family, and the attachment
was granted in the supreme court by
Judge Hendrick on the application of
her two brothers, Alan r. and Will
liam Hawley, composing the firm OF
William Hawley & Co., brokers, at 70
Broad street.
On April Z, according to the infor-
nation given the court, Miss Hawley
was secretly married to Charles Leyee
of Paris, the French aeronaut, who
has visited this country frequently in
the last few years. Alan r. Hawley
is one of the foremost amateur aero
nauts of this country, and was friend
and pupil of Levee. 1t was through
her brother Alan that Miss Hawley
met the fearless French sky sailor.
Skill and daring on the part or LeVee
in his balloon trips in this country at
first commanded the admiration of mss
Hawley They learned to know and
later to love each other. After their
secret marriage, April 7, they decided
to fly away, not in an airship, but In
a transatlantic steamer, and are now
reported to be spending most happy
honeymoon in Paris.
The two brothers acting as and on
behalf of their firm, say in their at
tachment papers which they fled TO-
day, that their sister has left the state
of New York for the purpose OF de-
frauding creditors and to avoid the
service of a summons. The brothers
appear as the only creditors In this
action and ask the court to grant an
attachment upon money on deposit in
the Fifth Avenue National bank and
on real estate at % East Seventy-sev-
enth street, the home at 4S West Elev-
enth street, and 81 West Tenth street,
TO cover an Indebtedness of more than
$4,000.
It is charged that the Indebtedness
is due on notes for money advanced
