hit me on the shoulder and said. Come on.
In many respects kinsman's story. OF

litve. Commissioner Dougherty took him
over the route the taxicab took on that
Thursday morning and Kinsman told
Dougherty that Montani drove up Church
street to Chambers street, thence to
Broadway, down Broadway to Park place.

| surprised.
Jess lips turned blue and green

Kinsman told them. His face became
white and his eyes danced. He talked
with Matteo and PAUL.. could not hear
what they said. but it was evident that
they were telling about the money and

Dutch had the bag in his lap and he put
il on the floor. Then things began to hap

ROW OVER SPOILS DIVISION
! Matteo showed a revolver. At least
one Of the others drew revolver. Jess
was for peace and not for bringing in the
police with gun fight. The bag was
opened. There were four packages. One
OF them held $1,000 and each of the other
three 5000. Each package was marked
plainly. kinsman said. Matteo grabbed
row and, according to the police version.
Matteo said that he and his two COM
panion -brigands" were to have So 900
each. and the other 81 900 was to 60 to help
/ get out OF prison man named Malloy.
! who had been arrested for robbery In
Brooklyn. While this was being hotly
discussed there were signs of "a gun fight.
but again the fear OF the police gave
Matteo and his two companions the chance
TO get away with their $4,000.
kinsman thinks that he and his COM
panions were held up by the -brigands.-
original intention OF somebody that
they should share in the loot After the
brigands left Jess got 5000 for himself
and $500 for Montani, 5000 went to
man, and $3.50 to Joe the Kid. English
Scotty was promised SIS. but he says he

with Knsman. They went to dances and
prize fights Splaine drinking hard all the
! while. Then Splaine started for Hot

Daley and Claire, had been sent to Chicago

| JIMMY PUSH GIVES Up 81 900.
kirsman's account of what occurred
in Jimmy Pushs saloon makes better
! reading than what Push told the reporters
| yesterday. He says the only man he knew
was Jess Albrozza, and that Jess was
in his saloon about noon. or an hour after
the robbery, and the others were not
there. Jess gave him a package about
| the size of collar box, covered with paper,
and at Jess's request he took it to the
Bowery Savings Bank and got box in
his own name. When Jess was arrested
he told the police about it and turned
over the keys. Commissioner Dougherty
went to the bank yesterday morning
and got the package, which contained
80 900, There were no Identifying mark :
! Of the Produce National Bank such a.
we're found on the money which Kinsman
! left at his home in Boston. The police
have a notion that the 50 900 which Jess
left with Push and which was put in the
safety deposit box was intended for Mon
tani. In all the police have recovered
about s.. $50 of the $4,000.
When the four prisoners, Montani.
English Scotty. whose other name is
Joseph Lamb; Jess and kinsman, were
arraigned before Magistrate Herman in
the Tombs police court yesterday after
noon they did not look like desperados
who would have the nerve or courage to
take part in daring street holdup. Mon
tani is short. dark and very sullen. His
wife was in court. She did not wear a
hat or good clothes. Jess Albrozza was
alive to everything that was goin on.
while English Scotty was stupid and
acted like q saloon backroom lounger.
| kinsman wore new clothes and linen
which he bought In Albany and Chicago,
and was better dressed than the three
others.
The youth Wardle--there was much
sympathy for him. as one of his eyes was
