RICH WOMAN
DRUGGED BY
ROBBERS
WITH $4,000 IN GEMS AND
$4,000 IN BONDS IN HER
POSSESSION, SHE is FOUND
IN DISREPUTABLE PART OF
CITY.

(By United Press Leased Wire
MONTEREY, Cal, Dec. 14.-It
was learned today that Mrs. Anna
L. Cummings, wife of c. w. Cum
mings of Oakland, who was found
unconscious in a disreputable part
of town last night, with jewels
estimated to be worth more than
$1,000, and bonds and notes val
ued at more than $4,000 in her
possession, had been drugged with
chloral with the evident purpose
of robbery.
The police are trying to find a
myterious man who telephoned
the police station several times
during the night, saying he want
ed to see Mrs. Cummings. 1t is
suspected that this man drugged
her and took her, unconscious, to
the section of the town where she
was found. 1t appears probable
that the man was frightened away
Just before he succeeded in obtain
ing her valuables.
The jewels were in a small bag
which was tied to her ankle. The
bonds and notes were carried
wrapped in a bundle. These cir
cumstances puzzle the police, as
they are unable to explain why
she should have carried the bonds
in that fashion.
There is a bruise on her head,
which might have been caused by
a fall or a blow.
