of Sarbin, Frenchman, apparently
about 40 years old, was arrested last
night as he stepped from a telephone
booth in an uptown drug store, the
police claim to have the originator OF

trict Following these robberies, in
which jewelry, silverware and furs
were taken, attempts were made to
effect a settlement with the owners,

, ised for specified sums of money. Mrs.

was among the victims of these bur-
glaries.
Several days ago negotiations were
opened with her by mail looking to the
return of her property, valued at about
$500, for 5000 cash. Several telephone
conversations followed and 1t was ar
ranged that the goods should be re-
turned to her tonight at her home

lice" she was told, "as carry enough
dynamite to blow everything in the
neighborhood to pieces"

and when Sarbin called up tonight to
see If the coast was clear, they were
informed of the location OF the tele-
phone which he was using and arrived
in time to arrest him as he stepped
from the booth. No dynamite was
found. A search of his room at an up
, town lodging house resulted in the re-
covery of the jewelry, furs and silver
, ware, estimated to be worth betweenj
$4,000 to 10000 Sarbin, who is well
educated and OF more than average
