PACKER'S WIFE FiCHTS TWO MASKED ROBBERS

Mrs. J. Ogden Armour Fails, However, to Prevent Theft of Gems Valued at $7,500.

CHICAGO, Sept 7.—Mrs. J. Ogden Armour, wife of the millionaire packer, today- related the story of her experiences last night with two masked and armed robbers, who looted the Armour residence, 3734 Michigan avenue, of jewelry valued at $7,500.

Mrs. Armour, although stunned for a moment by a blow on the head with a "billy," fought hand to hand with one of the robbers. She grasped the barrel of a revolver pressed into her face, threw it over her head, and began to struggle with the man, calling out an alarm to her servants.

Mr*. Armour had retired for the night and not more then a half an hour had passed when a knock was heard at her door. She called the name of her maid. The man answered in a falsetto voice. Fearing something wrong, she threw open the door and stood fac® to face with a masked robber. His companion, In the meantime, had overpowered three maids. "I tried to shot the door," Mrs. Armour said today, "but the man thrust his foot into the opening and through this aperture pressed a revolver Into my face. "I seized the barrel of the weapon, and pushed It up over my head. Then I tried to push the door shut. But he hurled himself against the door, and, as it flew open, raised a "billy* bringing it down on my head. "I called for help, but the three servants were confronted with a revolver held by the second robber and foroed into the room with me. "One of the robbers a*ked where I had been and I replied to my Lake Forrest home. '"Bring all your diamonds

asked. "No, I left most of my Jewels up there."

Til knock your teeth down your throat if you don't tell where the stuff is,'" he commanded.

While Mrs. Armour and her maids were held in a corner of the room under the threat of death to any who moved, one of the robbers swept the dresser of Jewels. Then all rooms were searched Completing their task, the men ran down stairs and escaped through a back door. Telephone wires had been cut to prevent an alarm.

Although provided with an excellent description of the robbers, detectives had made no arrests early today.

TJi« Armour residence occupies one half a block and is guarded by a high iron fence,' spiked at the top. There were several male servants, housemen, chauffeurs and even a night watchman within the grounds, but none of them was aware of the robbery until after servants in the home had spread an alarm.

The pearl necklace for which Mr. Armour was obliged to pay (9,600 duties when he brought it to this ccfuntry from France in 1901 is believed by the police to have been the loot sought by the robbers.

The necklace was valued by government appraisers at mor© than $15,000.

The Jewelry stolen by the robbers consisted mainly of diamonds. Only $75 in cash was obtained.
