Who Failed to sMore On

Albert Battistelle, twenty-five years
old, who is lame, didn't move on last
night when Patrolman Laughlin, of the
Webster Avenue Station, said move on,
and later found himself before Magis-
trate Nolan. in Mems Night Court, try
ing to explain why.

several other young men when the pa
trolman gave the move on order. He
guessed he was wrong in not obeying,
and the patrolman guessed so, too, but
the magistrate guessed he wasn't.
Officer, for heavens sa.s," said the
magistrate, "let's let the boys stand on
the corners--out in Gods open air.
They're better off there than they
would be in the pool rooms. Knavery
is learned in the small towns and
young men come to New York to prac-
tice it, and I'm always glad to sec them

can be seen, and where they cannot be

When his prisoners had been booked
the detective went into Captain Dono-
hue's office, where he Is said to have
preferred charges against Patrolmcn
Traver and Gaynor, accusing them of
interfering with him while he was
engaged in the discharge Of police
duty.
The red faced detective did not show

in night court. That duty fell to the
unfortunate Kaufman, the third de-
tective having likewise melted away

The discharged prisoners held an in

him to discover the identity of the de-

detective, 'but that's no way to treat

done"
The detective's answer Is said to
have been blow with his blackjack
which caused Traver's head to ring. He
continued dragging the woman to his
prison.
Eventually the thirty or more pris-
oners were damned into the patrol
wagon. including even the aged eater
of bean soup, who was the innocent
cause of the incident. At the West
Forty-seventh Street police station the
women and children were told to "a

LAWYER Discloses
$500 Hold-Up in
Mth Street Office
Quartet of Armed Bandits
Declared to Have Robbed
and Bound Four Victims
Tuesday Noon and Escaped

Details Of q recent hold-up in which
four bandits are supposed to have
escaped with ST00 in cash and about
$4,000 worth of jewelry were disclosed
to the press yesterday afternoon by
Louis Scadron. a lawyer with Offices at
LAO Broadway, who says he was one Of
five victims. The polio refused to dis
cuss the crime.
According to Mr.. Sca ron, he was
seated in the Office of {. Alvin & Co.,
a brokerage firm. on the eighth foo-
of the new Canadian Pacific Building,
Forty-fourth Street and Madison Ave
nue., where he had an appointment with
Herman Mirenburg, of the Regina Silk
Mills, at 1850 o'clock Tuesday morn
ing to draw up some papers between
the two firms. With him was Morris
while they were waiting for Mr.. Mirsn-
fee, one of whom vaulted a railing, COW
cred them with gun and ordered them
to throw up their hands.
The other man leveled his pistol at
a girl seated at a desk in the outer
Office and ordered her to keep quiet.
A moment later third man appeared
at the door, covering Mr.. Mirenburs,
who had just entered the Office. In
a few seconds the trio were joined
by fourth man, who walked across
the room and pulled down the window
shade.
The three victims were then lined
up against the wall and covered by
one man, while another continued to
guard the entrance, ana the other two
searched them. While they were in
the middle of this procedure a fourth
victim. who Mr.. Scadron said was a
stranger to him, walked into the office
and was invited to join the lineup.
He was followed by a young woman
soliciting for some charity, who was
halted but not molested.
Finishing with the search, in which
Mr.. Scadron said the robbers obtained
from him SAT in cash, a four~carat

diamond ring. his gold watch and
chain and small diamond and pearl
stickpin, and from some Of the others
q $4,000 diamond ring, platinum
watch, about $3.50 and some other
smaller articles, they ordered one Of
the men to open safe in the Office,
from which he said they took a box
containing about s4oo and some notes
and papers, which would be. of no
value to them. They then bound the
four men together with picture wire,
hands behind their back, and left the
office.
Mr. Scadron said that the moment
they got loose he rushed to tho phone
and called UP Police Headquarters,
which sent three men around to In
vcstigate. No clew was found and Mr..
Scradon went with them to Headqusr~
tiers, where he searched through the
rogue's gallery for two hours without
finding any likeness of the men.
