DETECTIVES ON TRAIL. *\victim Remembers ¢hat Two Men Jostled Him in the Crowded Car. Fifty-five hundred dollars, belongini to Hammerstein's Victoria Theatre, Gropped out of sight this afternoon a mysteriously as the magicians on the Victoria stage make things disappear. J. J. Schmidt, auditor of the theatre, was sent to the Mutual Bank at Thirty: third street and Broadway, shortly afte! noon, to get money for the payroll of the theatre. He got the money, $670 in bills, and boarded a Broadway car. The car was crowded and the auditor made his way through the throng on the rear platform and the body of the car .o the front door. Arriving at Forty-necond street he Jumped from the platform and made the theatre on a run through the rain. In Mr, Hammerstein's office he reached tor the money. He went white, gasped in- articulately and dropped into a chalr. ‘The money Was gone. Schmidt cried out that he had been robbed and it was some minutes before he could explain to Hammerstein the cir- cumstances of the disappearance of thy bundle of bills as far as he knew of them, Mr. Hammerstein immediately Nem the police and Deputy Police commissioner Dougherty took the mat- yr in hand. TWO MEN JOSTLED HIM CROWDED CAR. A number of dete.tives were sent to the theatre and Schmidt again told them his story. The police are of the opinion that Schmidt has been marked by one of the s that have in the past held up messengers from banks. They probably tratled Schmidt, watched him enter and leave the bank, and were prepared to follow him either afoot or on the cur, The car offered the better field for thelr purpose. In the crowd, it was an easy matter to brush against the auditor and whip the bills from his pocket. Schinidt, knowing nothing of his loss, Kept on to his destination, He never thought to feel his pocket. Possibly he was so used to carrying the mon and had gone s9 long without molesta- tion, he never gave the money a thought until it was time to turn It over. “I have no suspicion of Schmidt doing anything wrong," Mr. Hammerstein eald, “but it was carelessness—rank, gross carelessnes Schmidt is #' 5 Argyle street, He said ‘It's my custom to go to the bank nearly every day—not every Saturday.
