Alleged Female Bandits Are Released

Robbery Case

NEW YORK, March Is. - Warner
Van Norden, former president of the
Van Norden Trust company. is far away
over seas, and consequently did not APP
pear today to prosecute Bessie Roberts
and May Williams, the two women he
accuses of holding him up on the street
and robbing him of $4,000. In view of
the fact, which his attorney admitted
that Mr.. Van Norden did not expect to
return from Europe for six months, the
women were discharged from the $4,000
bail bonds in which each had been held
since shortly after their arrest on Jan
uary 20.
The district attorney was willing that
the women be released from their heavy
bonds, but opposed Il motion for dis
missal of the Indictment. The motion
TO dismiss was supported by an affidavit
by Bessie Roberts, which said:
4 am convinced that the sole reason
why the complainant is not in court and
has left the jurisdiction is because he
dare not face the trial of this Indictment
against me, and because he knows | am
innocent of the charge which he has
wrongfully made against me-
Counsel for Van Norden said the lat

charges, but that the state Of his health
compelled his staying in Europe for the
next six months. Judge ROsalsky re

ern Traction company, an injunctionaI
proceeding to restrain the company from
increa sing its Interurban fare to 10
cents. sustained the Injunction. The
court holds that III" company, by accept
ing Il clause in its franchise providing foT
a 10-cent fare, binds itself to a contract
with the city.
The court rules, however, that the
state railroad rate commission may regu-
late the interurban fares and may raise.
or lower them notwithstanding the exist
ence of Il contract.
While on the face. the decision favors
the city, the declaration of the court that
a 1O-ccnt fare is not reasonable and Just
and that decent fare is so, gives the
traction company part of the victory.
The court requires the city to increase
its bond from $1,000 to $1,000 to indem-
nifty the company. pending a decision of
the supreme court. and if the city fails to
file the bond within sixty days the court
