ARREST ROBBERS CHAUFFEUR
Police Then Say Two Gangs Were Com
cerned In Bank Holdups."

Deputy Police Commissioner Dougherty
said last evening that investigation had
convinced him that the gang that held
up taxicab in Trinity place on Thurs
day. black lacked two messengers of the
East River National Bank and got $25. 600
was not the same gang that robbed
Irving Beckerman of 1864 as he left the
German Exchange Bank at Great Jones
street and the Bowery on Saturday morn
ing.
In addition the Commissioner professed
confidence he would be able to capture
the Trinity place taXicab robbers. In the
taxicab robbery and the Beckerman
holdup a black touring car was used
by the robbers to get away. but the Com
missioner said the theory he held n t first
that the same men were concerned in both
holdups had been knocked out by impor-
tant information he had received regard
ing the Trinity place holdup.
Early last evening detectives arrested
Abraham Sobel, % years old. Russian.
near his home, 10 Sheriff street Com
missioner Dougherty said that he had
been informed that Sobe was the driver
OF the black touring car which was used
DouRherty declined to say who owned
the car or to tell what Sobel had been
doing since the robbery. All the police
would admit was that they had been
watching Sobel for a week and they ac-
cuse him of being one of the participants
! in the robbery of Beckerman. Commits
sioner Dougherty said he had been in
| formed on last Saturday that Sobel was
the driver of the car. but he would not
explain why Sobel had not been arrested
! before II Commissioner DOugherty go,
any Information from Sobel he did not
reveal it, but il was not until after Sobel'
arrest that he made the positive state
ment that the Beckerman robbers were
! not concerned in the s25,OU taNicab
robbery.
Commissioner Dougherty said that
/ Sobel would be charged with robbery
to-day when 'arraigned in the Tombs
police court. Beckerman was not asked
TO see il he could identify him last night
but he will be in court this morning
The police also say that they will have
| other witnesses
Witnesses who saw the black touring
car which was used by the men who
| robbed Beckerman said its license num-
| ber was 9l2s. but the owner of the car
with this number is James Stokes. Then
the police thought that the robbers might
have concealed the first numeral of the
license number. As only 10000 licenses
| have been issued for this city this year
( it was not hard to figure out that there
were only two licenses to be looked up,
1925 and 2912S.
