GHIGAGO STOCK

LIED. AI

Joseph Finkelstein Waylaid at Alley near Pennsylvania Ry. in Coming from Train at 6:00 O'clock Wednesday EveningMoney Was To Have Been Used in Purchase of Horses Here.

Three thugs were arrested at V'arsa,w on Pennsylvania passenger Xo. 8 at 7:00 Wednesday evening, suspected of heing the principals in the hold-up and robbery, in which the larger sum of $ll(i. Was Obtained from a Chicago stock buyer, who had just arrived in this city. The prisoners answer -the description of his assailants, given by the vidtim of the hoTJ-up, who Avent to Warsaw on the 0:17 train Thursday morning to identfy the trio held in the jail in that city. Immeditaetly after the locals learned of the robbery, they telegraphed .to Valparaiso, Warsaw and other points, asking officers to look for the hold-up men. Officers at Warsaw entered the train, which Man Iwrne the victim from his home in Chicago to tili is city, and arrested the three young toughs whom they found on the train, Xumber 8, docs- not stop between Plymouth and Warsaw. Was Bold Assault. The hold-up and robbcTy, in which Joseph Finkelstein, aged IV) years of Chicago was robbed of $1105 in currency, was the most atrocious crime of its kind cwmmiitted in this city in years. Finkelstein with a partner Win. Levy also of Chicago, have been in this city for the past three months buying and shipping horses. Levy did the majority of the buying, and Finkelstein remtained in Chicago, coming to this city, when sent for by Levy. Finkelstein carried and furnished the money, which he- stated this morning, he always paid in cash. Two carloads of horses have been shipped to Chicago by these buyers since they have been here, an. I the third car load had been started. Finkelstein' received a telegram from hfc pardner Levy at 10:00 o'clock Wednesday morning, to come to Plymouth and aid in the buying, also to bring the money with him. Accordingly Finkelseitn left Giicagoon Number 8, arriving in this city at G:00 p. m. He stated to a representative! of the Tribune Tluusday that he has made sevWediiesday, loitering about the jyast few months, and has always walked around the front end of the train, taking the short cut to the city, by walking north on Walnut street to LaPorte. Walnut street runs past the Ross House and residence of James E. Han es, and s top's at the Pennsylvania tracks, to recommence on the south side of the tracks.. There is no crossing over the railroad at this place. After nightfall the street is dark and deserted. The alley opening on the .west side of this street, was the scene of the assault and holdup. Finkelstein had walked around the front of the train, crossed the tracks and walked down Walnut street, on the west side. toward LaPorte street. When he reached the alley behind the residence of J. E. Hanes a short dark looking individual jumped out of the alley, and pointing a revolver commanded "Stop." Instantly an accomplice, struck him down from beliinl. The blow was delivered with a billy, as was evidenced by the wound on the right cheek bone. The blow was struck across his face and dazed1, but did not render Finkelstein unconscious. The blow felled him, and immediately the jxair set upon him, severly kicking him in the stomach and abdomen. The kicking wis the last remembered by the unfortunate man. Finkelsctin was discovered lying in the alley by Chas. Galloway, bus driver, who drove down the street, to cuter the alley on the east side of the street, which is back of the Ross House, where Gal'oway was about to assist in placing trunks in the sample room of the hotel. Galloway hear J the groans of the man lying at the other side of the street and summoned help. Men carried Finkelstein ito the Ross House, and Dr. L. D. Elcy was summoned. When he reached the hotel the man was hardly able to breathe because of the kicks which he had received on the torso. Dr. Eley attended the wounds and pronounced the effect of the blow on the head, to be only a flesh bruise, and said that the injuries from the kicking in the stomach, were the most severe. Money Was Gone. The money which Finkelstein hlad brought from Chicago to b v.sed in the purchase of horses

BUYER HELD-UP

Fl was gone. The total amount of which he had been robbe I was $11 G5. According to Finkelstein this money was all in paper, being carried in a wallet, in his right hip pocket of his trousers. The bills -were of the $100, $20, and $10 denomination. The horse buyer said that he always carried money used in buying in cash, finding that the most handy way, arfdl had never before been molested. When asked if he thought that he had been followed from Chicago, by persons who might have seen him draw the large sunn of money and shadowed him to his destination, to rob him, he replied that he did not think so. That he had not noticed anyone following him, and was sure that no one alighted from the train on which he came from Chicago, who could have got around him tfo the alley where he was attacked. Three Thugs Suspect. The three thugs who were arrested at Warsaw are supposed to be a trio of hard looking individuals who have been loitering in Plymouth for the past couple of days. These three were seen by many Plymouth people Wednesday loitering about the streets and at the Pennsylvania station. They inquired of Ralph Xess, baggage driver if the Pennsylvania! railway was "easy to beat"' They discitsseJJ with Ness the ch'ances of "bumming" their way on that rail road.. Hiev wer; a tough looking crowd, and could ' be easily guilty of the hold-up, assault and robbery. Was Only Chance. The theory accepted by the local police is that the rich1 haul of the $11C5 was only a chairce happening for the robbers, whomever they may be. It is thought that the thughs who have been hanging about the depot, "were concealed in this dark alley, perhaps with the intention of accosting the first man available. FinkContinued to Page 8.
