CAPTURED BY POLICE
Two Men Taken After Pursu-
crs Fire Revolvers in Long
Chase.
LUNCH ROOM vICTIMIZED
Pair Arrested in Forest Hills
Questioned About 50 Flat
Burglaries.

Scores OF shots were fired yesterday by
he police in chasing persons accused
of crimes and FIVE men were arrested
IN connection with attempted robberies
that were conspicuous for holiness.
Through the arrests it was learned that
fiat thieves have been active recently
particularly in Forest Hills, where fifty
two burglaries occurred within n few
days. 1t was learned that all-night
restaurants have been made the pyey Of
boldup men.
James j. Ready, 80. and John Troy.
Fl. partners In pool parlor at 105 West
Thirty-eighth street, were arrested after
an exciting chase, suspected OF having
participated with two other men in an
attempted holdup OF Louis Vros. pro-
prietor OF the Old London Coffee House,
107 West Thirty-slXth street Ready
and Troy. according to the police, figured
in the mysterious death of Edward Hall
Grim, proprietor OF department store
In Philippi, w. Va. in q West Thirty
fourth street roomirg house on August
e Mr.. Grim, an autopsy showed, died
ri morphine poisoning. Ready and Troy
were questioned in connection with Mr..
Vros had just opened his coffee house
when the four men entered. They drew
pistols and directed him to throw UP his
hands. The proprietor refused and the
four. kicked and beat him until he lay
on the floor helpless. His screams
frightened the thieves, who rushed into
the street. two of them running toward
Broadway and the others east in Thirty
sixth street. Several newspaper ham
dlers who had heard Vros's screams took
up the chase.
Collapse After Long Chase.
At Fifth avenue Policeman Howard J.
Brown and Walter Clancy joined in the
chase firing several shots after the flee
ing men as they darted north in that
thoroughfare. The chase continued east
through Fortieth street to Madison ave-
nue.. to Forty-second street, then east
again to Third avenue, where they turned
south but collapsed from exhaustion
after running another block. Brown and
Clancy huddled their prisoners. who de-
scribed themselves as Ready and Troy
into a doorway until q patrol wagon
arrived.
Soon after the men had been locked up
in West Thlrticth street station the pro-
prietor of n lunch room at Seventh ave-
nue. and Thirty-fifth street reported
what he believed to be an attempt at
hold up. -Four men had entered his place
and seated themselves at tables. One of
the men walked to the show window.
from which he stole an apple and fled
to the street. The trio left soon after
ward without having purchased any
food.
The method used In this attempt at
holdup. according to the police, is similar
to that which has been employed in
several restaurants in the vicinity dur
ing the last month. In each instance
one OF the thieves would steal something
and run 10 the street, hoping the pro-
prietor would follow him. In the abb
sence of the latter the thief's comrades
would enter and rife the cash drawer.
