Detective Michael J. Gorevan, OF the
Central Oficc. met Mrs. Rachel Bloom OF

Yesterday afternoon and was thoroush'S
beaten before he succeeded in GetuhS o.e'

s+atton whore Mrs Bloom and Ida GIeeh'
,,or friend. of No. 30 East 10th street
ycoro shown TO twin cells and charge u
larceny from the person registered
against each.
II should have been explained IN lhe
FIRST place perhaps. that this was ho'
y, ordinary bridge party. There were
no cards or tables. and the game Nd'
not played in the customary manner N'I
did Gorevan have voice IN se'eo.'n7
Mrs. Bloom as his partner; otherwise hi'
tory might have been more peaceiul
The bridge" experts met At the Man
haitian end of the Brooklyn Bridge "heie
several hundreds of persons were Waiu"7

island and the sea. Gorevan was nuns
ling in the crowds on the Lookout 1oI
p,ckpockcts and other persons who can
not make their fingers behave
Mrs Rachel Bloom and Ida Green were
here. ostensibly TO take a train for 'he
heacb but according to GoreVan' the!
became so bored at the long wait between
trains that they just had TO ma so'''e-
thing else 10 amuse them
Mrs Bloom. Gorevan swearS. cohceNtu
the idea Of separating Ms Frahr'S
Jucbtzer. Of No. 5O5 West 10th street Who
was standing next to her, from hei
nocketbook. and to do this II was neces'
sary to open the handbag Mrs. Juchtzci
carried at her side
According to Gorevan's complaint NJ
pIoor, nroved herself an adept at this
and. having closed her fingers arounu '"-

Miss Green. who promptly depOsiteu u "'

Corevan then stepped forward, haSheu
his shield and informed the two youhE

We'll. you've got us, ofiither, ana SUI
nitted gracefully TO whatever misht De
m store for her.
Rachel is made Of sterner stun, now
ever She asserted her innocence in ring
ing tones and added the information that
she was "a perfect lady and would ano"
no ''ornery" policeman to insult her. Inc
game started.
Rachel is wrongly named, Gorevan be-
Geyes. He has always been told that the
Biblical meaning of Rachel is lamb OF
sheen" and Rachel Bloom behed her
given name outraseOusly. She beha'eu
more like a tigress. according TO Gore
van.
When Mrs. Bloom refused to stay ar
rested" Gorevan started TO remove heI
from the bridge. In a moment there was
= yhirling mixture o. slit skirts, suede
slippers. buttons picture hat and bits oil
,,tic,e from the detectives face. ring
was formed about the struggling PAIR
md everybody tried to get down IN the
'front.' row so as to obtain closer view
The inhghting was fierce.
Mrs. Bloom found her skirts were seTl-
ouslv interfering with her fighting ao'l-
ity. and this and the fact that she had
bcen screaming steadily since the start OF
the hattie. and was thereby badly Winded'
finally led her to admit defeat.
Before Gorcvan could escort her ana
Miss Green TO the police station, however
he had to call for volunteers with SAFETY
pins and needles and thread to repair
the damages wrought by Rachers ripping
tearing fingers. When he had been sum-
cienty patched up'the detective started
for the station house with the women.
When the matron searched the prisoners
the pocketbook belonging TO Mrs. Jucht-
zer is said TO have been found in MISS
Green's possession. 1t contained lone
dollar. but more than $50 in cash was
found OH the two prisoners. Mrs. Jucht-
or said she had lost s55 from her hand
bag. but she could not identify the other
money found.
