she ran upstairs to the apartment of
Mrs. Dallas Mitchell. manager of the

Mrs. Mitchell's husband, who had
been eating dinner, armed himself with
pistol and searched the neighborhood,
but no trace of the robber was found.
In the meantime, his wife was tele-

robber had stood on the opposite side of
the street watching the establishment
until just a few moments before their
arrival.

mind and hurried away. The man
appeared to be excited, Ballard said.
Miss Wantz described the bandit as
being about feet inches tall and
weighing about $50 pounds He hac
brown hair and was hatless, she said.
The establishment is less than two
blocks from the White House and many
persons were passing while the hold-uI

was stationed at Seventeenth street and
Pennsylvania avenue.
