Tide Being Out Saves Insurance Col
lector From Death at Hands
of Highwaymen
By Associated Press.

Point Pleasant N. j., Dec. 3.-Four
highwaymen held up and robbed c. d.
Egbert, an insurance collector, of $500
while he was crossing a bridge over
Barnegat bay last night. He was clubbel
senseless. His assailants then bound
his hands and feet, tied bag over his
head and cast him into the waters of
Barnegat Bay.
1t was dark, so dark that the quartet
failed to see that the tide was out and
the water shallow. Egbert fell in the
shadows, his head well above water,
and later recovered consciousness. Hin
groans were heard and he was rescued.
The police have no clue as to the iden.
tity of the highwaymen.

YOUTHS SIDE
OF INQUIRY ENDS
Thirty Witnesses Have Testified in Eff.
forts to Prove Prisoner Charged
With Inglenook Crime, Last Decem-
ber, Is of Unsound Mind

His suspicious movements and the al.
legged fact that he "looked like a safe
blower were the reasons the Pennsyl.
vania railroad police, in Pittsburgh, on
December 21, last arrested Edward G.
Smith, charged with numbering his
grandfather, John Il. Bush, in Ingle-
nook. Smith is the youth whose mental
condition now is the subject of an in.
quirX being conducted before Judge
McCarrell by criminal court Jury in
this city.
A. H. Swinehart, for twenty-five
years connected with the Pennsylvania
railroad police department, and who
now has charge of the Pennsy terminal
police in the "Smoky City," testified
this morning. He said that when Smith
was arrested little or nothing was
known by the Pittsburgh police re.
garding the suspect who was wanted
in this city in connection with the
Bush murder.
Smith S arrest was really an acci.
dent, Swinehart said The youth 3

charge of carrying a pistol" had
been lodged against him as a substi.

charge on which he first was detained.
That came after he was searched and
a revolver was found in his pocket,
along with an annual pass bearing the
name of the grandfather, Bush, and
gold, bills and small change totaling
$2,S27.15.
Half dozen witnesses, mostly Pitts
burgh policemen who figured in Smith s
arrest or conversed with him at that
time, were witnesses at this morning $
inquiry.
Case Is Closed for Smith
John Fox Weiss and William II.
Earnest, counsel for the accused, who
are endeavoring to prove that their
client now is insane, closed their ease
in the forenoon after the last alienst
had testified and after something like
thirty witnesses had been examined.
The majority of Smith s witnesses
said he is mentally deranged while
alienists declared that he is suffering
from dementia precox, form of in.

While most people believe it to be
very uncomfortable and terrifying to
be under ten feet of water, even
though one is eneased in a deep-sea
diver outfit, this is mistaken idea.
After you get over that helpless feel
ing that at first attacks the amateur
diver, the sensation is most pleasant,
excepting that the hands become
numbed and cold. This is due to the
tight rubber coupling that makes the
sleeves air-tight.
