GIRL FRUSTRATES ROBBERY ATTEMPT Crooks Unsuccesstul in Quest of Cigar Factory Payroll | New York, Oct. 7.—A woman frus- rated the attempt of two armed men rot possession of $5,500 yesterday afternoon in the office of the Lincoln Brothers sigar factory, at 466 et. Both of the bandits iped after holding up a member of the firm and three girls. One of | the thie fled in an auto, aided by two confederates. who held the car a block away in Spring street with the | motor running while the attempt at robbery was in progress The cigar firm occupies the second, third, fourth and fifth floors in the huilding at the northeast corner of Broome and Greene streets, Tts | business offices are on the second floor and are reached by a irway from ! Broome street, and by an clevator on the Greene street side which con- nects with the shipping department in the rear of the long floor. Miss Hannah Kaplan, the bookkeeper, and two girls were putting hank notes in envelopes for the payroll when they were startled by two men armed with revolvers who ordered them to hand over the money. The two thieves stood at the cash- ier’'s window in the seven-foot heavy oak partition which surrounds the private offices of the firm and divides them from the entrance hall leading from the Broome street stairs. Edgar R. Lincoln who could not be seen by the robbers when they entered, stepped from behind his desk and sat himeelf between Miss Kaplan and the thieves, while the other two girls slipped from their desks to the floo. and crawled out of range of the re- volvers, Girl Warns Proprictor. Then the bookkeeper fled to the in- ner office of Lincoln A, Lincoln and warned him of the holdup. He ran from the rear exit of his office to the shipping department, where four men and three girls were at work, and with the shipping clerk, Irving Spang- ler, hurried to the Greene street exit, looking for a policeman. A letter carrier from the Holland street office, who was passing, blew his police whistle for help. Edgar Lincoln said that when the first blast of the whistle was heard in the office one of the bandits threatened him with a revolver while the other gun- man went toward the door in the par- tition, himself. But when the whistlg was heard again, the thieves turned and ran down the Broome street stairs, Lincoln A. Lincoln and the ship- ping clerk and the carrier met them at the street door, but had to stana aside as the robbers threatened them with their pistols. Both thieves ran to Spring street, where one jumped in an auto with two men, who started the car westward. The other robber had disappeared when the pursuers got to the corner. The auto bore a Pennsylvania license and number. This, the police said, was probably fic titious, “Before the attempted robbery a man who sald he was a disabled vet- eran of the Spanish-American war, entered the office and asked my broth- er for help,” said Lincoln Lincoln. “The ex-soldier showed a typewrit- ten statement to my brother, which set forth that the holder of it was a ‘mute,’ as the result of injuries suf- fered in the war. My brother gave him ten cents. This man was one of the gunmen.” CEDAR HILL FARM The only dairy in New Britaln prop- erly equipped for handling milk and its products.
