Mrs. Salvito was in the room. Her

against the wall on the farther side Of
the room. The robber overlooked a
5000 diamond brooch which the woman
wore. Fredericks fired one shot at

the shot. had ducked and the bullet
lodged in the woodwork of a window

Fredericks ran through the hall and
out the back way down a flight of
stairs. At the front OF the stairs he
shot at a dog that happened to cross
his path. He opened the rear door Of
the saloon and fired three shots into
the place, supposedly to stop pursuit
in case of alarm. Vaulting a back
fence, Fredericks ran toward the part
ly completed Estabrook flats on Cass
street, near Seventeenth, where he
hid. He threw away the empty re-

At the police station Fredericks
claimed that the woman took his gold
