ITALIAN FATALLY WOUNDED
BY STRANGER, WHO FLEES.

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 1S.-Standing
on the curb in front of a moving-pic-
ture show in the Italian section of the
city last night a stranger calmly fired
five shots from a revolver at Louis
Bracidio, aged rs years. One of the
bullets penetrated Bracidio's left lung
and he will probably die.
Although the street was crowded
with residents of the locality no one
attempted to stop the would-be muir
derer. who, after throwing the smoking
revolver into al open doorway nearby,
disappeared in the crowd. When the
police arrived on the scene, they found
the wounded man lying on the side
walk, and could find no who could
say in which direction his assailant
had gone. Bracidio protested that he
had never seen the man before,

FIVE EMPLOYEES
Of n. !. HOTEL ARE
JAILED AS THIEVES
Charged with Embezzling Over
$4,000 from Holland House
by Check SwindIe.

NEW YORK, Feb. 1S.-Five hereto
sore trusted employees of the Holland
Rouse, Fifth avenue and Thirtieth
street, for many years considered the
most exclusive hotel in New York by
New York society, were arrested early
today n taken in a patrol wagon
TO police headquarters. where they
were charged with robbing the hotel
by Switching cash register checks.
The amount obtained by the men,
according to the hotel management
was at least $4,000. and may be greatly
in excess of that.
The men under arrest are;
Roy Boyette, % years old, cashier,
$50 West Tw~enty-ninth street.
Charles E. Carr, 35 a Old, cashier,
51S East T~wenty-first street.
Henry f. Gibson, 90 years old, bar
tender, $40 West 135th street.
Joseph Hartung, 81 years old, bar
tender, 800 East Seventy-eighth street.
Joseph Lindenbaum, q years old,
waiter, 295 Seventh street.
All the men have been employed at
the hotel several years, inc not until
it was noticed thai the receipts were
falling off in the restaurant and bar
mad the management been suspicious,
in the slightest, of either of them.
The plan of defrauding the hotel
adopted by the men was a simple one
and has been used successfully ON other
hotels in the city--a notable case being
one in which a Broadway hotel was
robbed of more than $4,000 two years
ago. A woman figured in that trans
action.
With the checking system now in
use in all the big hotels and saloons
ii is almost impossible for employees
to steal the proceeds unless several of
them are in a conspii acy to defraud.
The switching system consists of
withholding checks, and, in fact, not
recording on the register all the pur-
ehascs that are mad II this were
Zone it would be impossible for the
cashier to withhold money, for the
money in the cash drawer would have
to equal that recorded by tbe cash reg
lister.
The plan is for the bartender or
waiter, after making a sale and regis
tering it, to take the money and check
to the cashier, who withholds t ne
money, but returns the check to the
bartender or waiter. Then when an
other purchase of the same amount is
made the waiter or bartender gives
the money and old check to the cashier,
the second sale not having been re-
corded by the register. Sometimes, the
police say, the checks are retained to
cover several sales.

SUSPECT JAILED
Former Employee Is Locked Up
After Trenton Man Is
Felled in Street.

TRENTON, Feb. 1S.-Almost within
c. Titus, manager of the Crew-Levick
Oil Company, which has its Offices on
Southland street, was assaulted and
severely injured with a club las night
in the hands OF q negro, believed to be
Charles Whims, a former employee of
the Crew-Levick company, who lives
with a woman by the name of Kate
Johnson at s Hogerty's alley. Whims
was arrested two hours after the as
sault at his home and removed to the
second district police station, where he
was locked up on a charge of atrocious
assault and battery. He will be given
a hearing this evening before Judge
Rees in the Second District Court.
The police believe that Whims, If it
was he, assaulted Mr.. Titus with the
intention of robbing him of his wallet,
as he was cognizant of the fact that
his former employer carried home the
receipts of the day, which often amount
to hundreds of dollars, in his pockets
every evening. When taken TO the sta
ton by Detective Clancy. Whims abso-
lutely denied having anything to do
with the affair, declaring that he had
been at his home all the evening.
Last evening Mr.. Titus left the office

siderable sum, in his pocket. He re-
sides at 329 Chambers street, a few
doors from Mckinley venue At the
corner of Greenwood venue INC Cham
bers street there is a large billboard,
which is placed diagonally across the
lot. AS he passed the billboard, Mr..
Titus thought he saw a man step from
behind, but paid no particular atten-
ton to the incident, as his mind was
occupied with other matters.
When he reached the corner Of Nc
kinley avenue and Chambers street
Mr.. Titus was struck a terrific blow
on the side of the head from behind,
which almost knocked him to the
ground. His derby hat was all that
saved him from being stretched in
sensible on the ground, for the weapon,
which Mr.. Titus believes was a large
club, descended on the rim of the hat,
crushing it in and tearing it free from
the crown. The blow laid open the
scalp for four inches. After ,hc had
been struck h first time, Mr.. Titus
staggered into the street, and before
he had a chance to defend himself was
struck another blow on the top of the
head, which knocked him down. He
exerted all Of his fast failing strength
to shout Murder! Help! Police!" at
the top of his voice, and the negro,
becoming frightened, dashed off down
the street in the direction of Green
wood avenue.
The injured man managed to get to
his home, which was only a few doors
away, where he Immediately informed
Sergeant Culliton, of the Second dis
trict police station, of the assault by
