Convent Avenue. already at large
under two bail bonds. charged
with automobile theIts, who is at
liberty again to-day under a third
bond for the same offense. All
three crimes charged against him
were committed within two
months.
The last bond CT $4,000 was
granted last night by Magistrate
Nolan, security being furnished
by the Fidelity and Deposit Com
pany of Maryland, which has of
fices at No. II East 42d Street
and No. 120 Broadway. By OBJ
tanning bail last night Roberts
beat the lineup" as police par
lance has it. avoiding thus the
scrutiny by masked detectives,
to which all persons arrested on
charges of felony are subjected in
the morning at Police Headquar-
ters.
The arrest of Roberts followed
an automobile transaction on Dec.
81 with Pietro Rinaldi of No. 351
East 3Oth Street, who went to
Sharlin's authorized Ford car
agency in Second Avenue, near
Ninth Street. to buy a sedan.
Some one there not connected
with the establishment who over
heard Rinaldi told him he could
buy second hand car much
cheaper and offered to put him
in the way Of getting it.
This man, according to Rinaldi,
introduced him to Roberts, the
latter being called Sam Cohen"
Eventually sale was effected.
Rlnaldi paying $3.50 in cash and
giving a check for $500, dated
ahead to Jan. and drawn ON the
bank of |. Sillitti g. Sons, No. 217
Avenue A.
Soon after the sale the police
were notified that the car Rinaldi
bought had been stolen. They
were also told of the check, SO
Detectives McCaddin and Sherer
of the Autobomile Squad kept an
eye on the bank on Jan. 4, await
ing the arrival OF some one with
Rinaldi's check. The one who
came with it was Roberts. He
had 1t in his possession when he
was arrested yesterday at 4.3O
o'clock. With Roberts was Simon
Levy, twenty-five, of No. 3s9
Kosciusko Street, Brooklyn. He
also was arrested.
Rinaldi at once identified Rob-
erts as the man who had sold him
the automobile and the two pris-
oners were taken TO Police Head
quarters, presumably for the
night, but they finally got bail
from Magistrate Nolan and were
releasedg each in the same
amount. An effort to reach the
Magistrate to-day failed, 1t being
said at his home, No. Q Madison
Street, that he was on Staten
Island.
In EsS eX Market Court this
afternoon, Magistrate Levine con-
tinued the bail in which the men
had been released, setting Jan 16
as the date for examination.
The police records OF Roberts
show that last November he was
arrested in Yonkers charged
with the theft of motor car and
was released on $1,000 bail. On
Nov. Is last, he was arrested for
an alleged fur robbery, but was
discharged. The very next day
he was arrested again on the
charge of having stolen an auto
mobile in this city, but was re-
leased on bail.
AS yet, the police have not dis
covered the rightful owner OF the
car Roberts is charged with hav-
ing sold to Rinaldl.
