iWOMAN IDENTIFIES HIM

The mystery of a long series Of
bold daylight robberies. perpetrated
by lone negro highwayman.. with
white women of the West End as his
victims, has been solved, according
to the belief of the police, in the
arrest OF Percy Johnson.
The negro. gigantic black, was
arrested shortly BEFORE daylight,
Thursday morning by Detectives Wi
ley and kellam at Seventeenth and
Marshall streets. They had beer
looking for him for nearly three
weeks.
johnson was taken to the first pre-.
cinct station, where a few hours
later he was identified by a Mrs
Dotingheimer. Of No. 230S West Grace
street Mrs. Dotingheimer was on g
street car a few days ago. when q
negro snatched a purse from Mrs
Dodson. The thief escaped. and Mrs
Dotingheimer got only a heeting
glimpse of his face. but saw his back
It was this view that led to hel
identification
When she arrived at the police
station Thursday morning. in re-
Spouse to telephone call from chiel
Werner. ten negroes were brough
out and stood in line for her inspec
ton.
Turn them around and let mt
look at their backs" said Mrs. Doting
helm.
This was done. and after scanning
| each man carefully, she unhesitating
ly pointed to johnson.
| Since the identification detectives
| have been closeted with the negr'
for several hours, questioning hin
| rigidly. 1t Is said that they hope Il
secure full confession.
The story OF the crimes of which
johnson Is charged with perpetrat
| ing extend over the past three weeks
| During that period numerous case
OF purse snatching have been re-
| ported to the police, and in each In
| stance the details were strikingl.
! similar, and indicative of desperate
| character.
! Invariably. for instance. the purs'
| snatching was committed in broa'
! daylight Invariably the victim was |
white woman. and Invariably thu
thief got away with q good haul.
Probably the most noted of thes
robberies was that In which Mrs. X
IL. Van Dine was the victim. tn
! latter was robbed on Fifth street
| near Grace. She grappied with tn
thief and vas terribly beaten by him
