HIGHWAYMEN ROB AND BEAT GIRL Hold Up Miss Alice Osterman in the Bronx and When She Re- sists Repeatedly Strike Her in the Face. SEIZE HER VALUABLES AND MAKE THEIR ESCAPE. Only One of a Series of Recent. Outrages in That Section and Residents Talk of Forming a Vigilance Committee. Miss Alice Osterman, of No. 1921 Sec- ond avenue, is the Igtest victim of the thugs and highway robbers who havo been holding Harlem and the Bronx tn - reign of terror for several woeks past. Half strangled, cruelly beaten, robbed of her purse and fur coat, Miss Oster- man was left unconscious by two brutal highwaymen who attacked her on Union avenue, near Westchester avenue, in the Bronx. She was on her way. to visit a friend in Untonport and had left a northbound trolley car just before the attack. In telling her story later she said that beth men looked about twenty years old, Both wore slouch hats, and one exhibited a revolver. Tho other hela ® handkerchief saturated with choloro- form. They sprang upon her from behind a tree. One grabbed her about the neck in the fashion of the garroters. Miss Osterman, is twenty-three years old and athletic, She fouoght, and the thief THREE HURT IN A TROLLEY CRASH Passenger Seriously Injured and Employees Bruised on the West Farms Line—Rock De- rai‘ed One of the Cars. Motormen John Minogue and James Farley, of the West Farms trolley line, and Keath Harris, a colored passenger, were badly cut and brulsed, the last named seriously and internally. besides sustaining a broken leg, in. a collision between a westbound and an eastbound car at Westchester avenue and Classon Point road A rock derailed the eastbound car and threw ‘it across the path.of the car in charge of Motorman Farley. Both motormen were thrown to the street. Sitting opposite Harris in the east- bound car were three women, who fell upon him, ‘Two of them landed with such force on his right leg that It snapped. He was sent to Fordham Hos pital and the ratiway employees to their homes. The women didn't have a scratch, ‘The cars were so badly amashed that they had'to be retired ftom service, It is belleved that the rock that caused the accident fell out of a cart we a could not get his elbow under her chin to choke her, While she was fighting the other man struck her re- peatedly in the face. As she sank un- conscious one grabbed her pocketbook, and in doing so injured her wrist, The purse contained only §. ‘Two men who were walking along Tnion avenue a few minutes later found er lying in the snow, freezing. They curried her to the Westchester police station, where she revived and told her story. A posse of detectives and citizens started out at once on the trail of the highwaymen, ‘They were seen running toward the West Farms road, and it is thought they escaped on a trolley car. No ar- rests have beg? made up to the present time. ‘The robbery of Miss Osterman fs but one of many that have startled the realdence section of Harlem and the Bronx during the past few weeks. are believed to have been the work of the same men. ‘Miss Mae Faulkner, of Mount Vernon, was robbed of her pocketbok while passing the rectory of the Church of St. Martin of Tours, No, #3 East One Hundred and Eighty-third street. William Gersten was held up ané robbed of his watch on the “L" steps at One Hundred and Seventy-seventh etreet and Third avenue. Bernard McGarrity was held yo on the Kingsbridge road near One Hun- dred and Eighty-third street and robbed of his watch, The citizens of that locality are dis- cussing the formation of a vigilance committee for purpose of dealing with the highwaymen.

With blood streaming from the wound in his head, Pazzant walked into the ‘West Sixty-eighth street police stat! @ stone's throw away from t of the shooting, and asked for help. OL am shot," he exclaimed, and tefl to the floor in a faint. The wounded man was hurried to Roosevelt Hospital as rapidly as an ambulance could take him there. Dr. Zinnser revived him, so that he was able to give a short statement about the shooting. ‘According to Paszant he was on his way to work from bis homg at No. 827 ‘West Sixty-ninth street and had just turned out of that thoroughfare into Broadway when Teedebaffo came upon him unawares and with a curse drew & revolver and fired at him, He fell to the sidewalk and Teedebaffo took to his heels, A moment later Pazzant got on his feet and staggered to the police station. ‘Veedebaffo had been working on an excavation at Forty-second atreet and Eighth avenue until yesterday, when, Pazzant says, he discharged him for Incompeten' Pazzant Is sald to be in a serious: con- Autlon.
