had touched him. The men were then
released on five dollar bonds to appear

had $500 with him. He was also let out

gineer, was returning from her Satur-
day afternoon shopping to her home at
sos Madison street an unknown negro
who had followed her down the street
grabbed her arm and in the short
struggle which followed he got her
shopping bag, threw her face down
ward on the walk, and fed down Fifth
street Two men who were preceding
her on the walk turned at the sound of
the struggle but instead of Selling the
man went to the aid of the woman.

big black. @e
