Luban went into the witness chair with a pronounced bearing of ervousness and apprehension. His deep-set dark eyes seemed to start fack in his head at every question and it was several moments before Justice Goff could get him under way and his voice up.

James Wilson, who also answers to the name of Roscoe Fond, and prefers to be referred te as a “soldier of for- tune,” entered the Prince George Hotei at 2 o'clock this morning and made un- ostentatious visits to two apartments on the third floor. At 210, owing to the presence of Mr. Wilson and the protests of @ long- haired lapdog against that presence, the fire alarms were ringing, men Guests were screaming, bellboys were racing through the halls and Head- quarters was being implored in trem- ulous tones to send @ platoon of police and a company of militia at once, ‘There is an entrance to the hotel at No, 14 Bast enty-elghth street and @nother at No. 13 Kast Twenty-sev- enth. Both are large and inviting, but Mr, Wilson chose te use neither. He went into the alley between the Prince George and the Hotel Ascot, at the corner of Twenty-seventh street and Madison avenue, and removed his shoes; then he swarmed up « tall and shaky grillwork barrier which separates the two buildings. When he could climb no farther Wil- won found himself opposite a ledge which rung beneath the third-story win- dows on the Prince George. He crawled along the ledge until he came to an open window. He accepted its invita- tion, At the far end of this room Mr, and Mra, Cahries Connick, visitors from Yonkers, were sleeping. PETULANT T POMERANIAN GIVES THE ALARM. ‘They continued to sleep while the visitor helped himself to Mr. Conntok's watch, chain, two diamond pins belong- ing to Mre. Connick, a fob, pen knife and a handsomely enameled Bull Moose button, There was a pocketbook there too, but Mr, Connick stirred uneasily when Wileon reached for it So Wilson deckied to call again on his way out for the pocketbook and went noleclessly into the hall. He went next into apartment No. 671 to call on Mr, and Mra. Charlies Law- They were sleeping and he did his best not to dis turd them. But he reckoned without Fif, one of the darlingest little Pomer- ‘anians ever. Fif crawled from her sta- tion at the foot of the bed and growled, ‘Wilson said in soothing tones that Fig was a nice doggie, but it didn't go. Fig let loose as only @ petulant pet Pomer- nian can. Up sprang Mr. Lawrence, and the humor of the situation struck Mr. Wilson. He began to laugh heartily and was quite unable to answer Mr. Lawrence's indignant query a# to tne nature of, his errand, There war a toothbrush lying on a dresser and Wilson picked {t up. He pointed it at Lawrence, and Mrs, Lawrence awoke to find that she too was menaced by & weapon that did not waver. It looked like # horse pistol, Wilson basked away without taking anything but the toothbrush, and the screams of the persons whose lives he had en- dangered with it rose behind him, HIS “PISTOL” SCARES BELLBOY INTO CONVULSIONS, ‘There was lots of excitenent on the ft third floor by that time, and the rest the hotel was Just inning to aw to the perils of a great city, Frighten- Ing a bellboy into @ convulsion with the toothbrush, Wilson got out on the ledge again and started to crawl toward the grillwork and the cached shoes, Poltceman Sullivan of the West Thir- tleth mation was on the sidewalk He drew his service revolver and px ed jt at Wilson. ‘The man on the | took careful alm with the toothbrush and laughed deliriously.
