Arbano Ys one of the “Three Brigands” mentioned in the confession of Kinsman. This Arbano is anything but a brigand in appearance. He is only ‘five feet tall, weighs about 100 pounds and wears a pair of big, power- iil spectacles. He gave himself up to the District-Attorney and the police to-day, and immediately after he was in custody confessed that ‘he and-two pals walked into “Jimmy the Push’s” saloon while the active Tobbera were splitting up the loot and calmly annexed $10,000 of it. + Aebanc skipped to Havana, Cubs, with Qa ‘gest of his share, which amounted to He ae} woman in Havana rates bim 0. When he came to New York he found the police closing n on ‘kim and surrendered htm- ott. Kineman, who made the frat confes- ion in the case, pleaded gullty when ‘arraigned before Judge Crain in the Court of General Sersions to-day. Geno Montan!, the taxicab chauffeur; Jes Albrusso, and Joseph Lamb, alias “Booty,” indicted with Kinsman, plead- e4 not gulity, but Lamb is negotiating fer clemency in return for a confes- sion he is about to make. ALL FOUR CHARGED WITH ROB- BERY IN THE FIRST DEGREE, ‘The four indicted robbers were ar- waigned together before Judge Crain. indictment charged all four with bery in the first degree, grand lar- | comy in the first degree, assault in the eégond degree and criminally recelving etelen s Kinsman was the first to plead. He was represented by Francis J. W. Ford, a lawyer of No. 18 Tremont street, Bos- ton, went over here by his parents, ant Frank O'Neill, the Boxing Commisalon- er. They entered in benalf of Kins- man a plea of gullty to robbery in tle degree. ge rien District Attorney Delehanty advised the acceptance of the plea ani! Judge Crain entertained it... Kinema who had a convietion for petty larce: hhenging over him In Boston, will not be sentenced until the cases of the other robbers are dlaposed of. Geno Montani, represented by Mr, O'NeiM, pleaded not gullty and asked | ball be fixed. Judge Crain made the ‘beat in Montara cane $23,000, that being the amount of loot still outstand- ing. Albruzzo and Lamb, through coun- ool, pleaded not guilty, with leave to whhdrew. ARBANO ..IMPLICATED OTHER HOLDUP, Arbano became a prominent figure in the case not only through his own con- fession, but because Hugene Splaine, ‘another prisoner, in a confession to-day implicates him in a holdup. The thieves who have confessed describe Arbano as @ desperate man and @ gunfighter. Arbano, as a preliminary to his con- fession, admitted that he had the repu- tation of being a bad man who would kill without compunction, but declared that he did not deserve the ill repute, fas he was a peaceable as 2 child, Then he went on to tell of his share In the taztoab ‘case as follows "| met a couple of feilow way and Thirty Gays before t!
