Crane, whose recent assertion thet ‘no woman could (identify anything or anybody” has jalready become a maxim in legal psy- \ ology, added a triumphal feather in js cap in Harlem Court by proving ‘that Mrs. Kate Froma, who had had @eventesn-year-old William Derby ar- rested for stealing her pocketbook, was lwrong in her identification. He also {@rapped some pointed suggestions as to ‘bow women should carry valuables and kponew. When Mrs. Fromia identified a second boy, Frank Kruger, to-day, after pick- fng him out of a line, the Magistrate held theboy, but not on her evidence. He sald he placed no faith in her evidence, but gave weight solely to that ‘of Charles Moore, of No. 1,98 Third nue, who saw the purse stolen, “T belleve you know what you are talking about, and if it was not for “your identification this boy would not Se held,” said the Magistrate to Moore.

I followed him. to the mail station, at Eighteenth street and Fifth avenue, and there tried to get help in having the horse taken ¢rom the wagon. It was groaning and was in terrible agony. I could not find a policeman, but when I went to the New York 'Hospital to a detective who was there offered to go with me. He found that he could do nothing, . and the horse was compelled to go on with its night norse—one unfit to be seen by day “The police are not at all willing, to help, and handicap ‘us everywhere they can. “I am greatly interested in doing something for the mall-wagon horses, and I wish the public could see some of the stables in which these animals are kept.
