Transporting the Money IN !
Taxicab Chauffeur Held At
Bay BY : Pistol.
npyr.shs slx

New York. Twenty-Five thousand
dollars in currency was stolen from q
taxicab In the heart of the financial
district by two highwaymen who
sprang into the vehicle and overpower-
ed w. F. Smith and Frank Wardell,
messengers OF the East River National
Bank. at $50 Broadway. Both mes
sengers were badly injured and the
robbers escaped with the money
$4,000 In S. bills and SIC, 900 Yin 500
bills. The currency was being trans
ported from the Produce Exchange
Bank In the lower part OF the city.
The taxicab had proceeded !, Broad
way without mishap, when for some
unexplained reason the chauffeur
turned west on Rector street into
Church street, skirting the side and
rear Of Trinity churchyard. About
midway of the old cemetery three men
sprang from the curb. One jumped on
the chauffeur's seat; the other two got
into the vehicle. The man on the seat
pressed a revolver in his overcoat
pocket against the side OF the chauf-
feur, Gino Martini. and commanded
him to drive swiftly on without max
ing an outcry.
Inside the vehicle the two robbers
were belaboring the bank messengers
over the head. Smith, one Of the mes
sengers, is 81 years old, and he was
bleeding and almost unconscious when
the taxicab reached Park Place, few
blocks north. Wardell was badly
beaten about the head, but not 80 seri-
ously hurt.
At Park Place the highwaymen
jumped from the taxicab bearing tin
box which they had wrested from the
messengers. and which contained the
currency. In fash they had sprung
into big black automobile which
seemed to be awaiting their coming,
and were quickly lost in the maze of
traffic.
Hold-ups and money-snatching
games have become almost epidemic
in New York In the past few weeks.

HON. BEEF PRICES
ARE FORGED UP
TELEGRAMs IN EVIDENCE
samples OF kilograms Sent BY the
ArmouFs Manager 70 the Esstern
Asents--Mors Light on Meth
ods OF Beet Packers.

Chicago. Seven hundred and TWEEN
ty-fye telegrams Sent BY 7. g. Lee,
manager Of Armour 4 Company's beef
department, and HIS assistants, In
July and August, 1910. to Eastern rep
resentatives. urging them to obtain
higher prices for dressed meat. were
introduced In evidence by the govern
ment in the. packers trial here. The
messages. which were sent, over
Armour & Co.'S private wires. were
identified BY n A. Russell. beef sales
manager for the company. who was
on the witness stand all day.
The government contends that the
kilograms show that the memorandum
cost was used by Armour & Co. az a
basis for the selling price and that the
Eastern Representatives were continu-
ally urged to obtain this figure for
their product. Failure to obtain the
memorandum cost resulted in the
branch house managers being severely
criticised.
In many instances the Chicago Office
threatened to reduce shipments unless
better prices were obtained. The gov
eminent declares that by this system
the prices were controlled and all
shipments regulated from the Chi
cago office. One of the messages read
to the jury was as follows;
Chicago, August s, 1910.
