As they actually jimmied their way Into the Stern loft one night tast week after the watchman—working with detectives—had admitted them by the street door, a charge of burglary was preferred, this being based on the forcible entry. Magistrate Simma held them in $5,000 bail each after they had pleaded not guilty and been granted an adjournment until to-morrow afternoon, Sneiderman was held in $3,000 bail on an additional charge of having burglar’s tools in his pos- seasion at his home, No. 79 Haat One Hundred and Seventh street and a wimilar charge will be preferred against Rothman in @ Bronx Police Court because of tools found in his home at No. 915 Intervale avenue, Central office and private detec- tives are working with a view to connecting Rothman and Sneider- man with several recent daring rob- beries. The young men have con- feased that if they had been able to wet through the network of burglar alarm wires around the Stern safe they would have taken their loot to Europe with the idea of reforming and living for several years in com- fort and luxury, The first move made toward a rob- bery at Sterns, which is on the elev- enth floor at the Fifty-second atreet address, was to offer a bribe to the night watchman. “We will hand ‘you a couple of thousand if you look the other way one night this week,” the watchman is said to have been told by the two engaging young men. DETECTIVES HEARD THE PLAN MADE WITH WATCHMAN, “Come back to-morrow and I will give you an answ or come to my house,” the watchman said, He then communicated with the Pinkerton Detective Agency, which ts charged with protecting the jewelry concern from robbers. Shortly after 8 o'clock Wednesday afternoon the two men called on the watchman at his home in Harlem, A Pinkerton detective was hidden under @ couch in the room when the visitors paid the watchman $20 to bind the bargain. “We will rattle the street door three times after midnight,” the men told the watchman, With the detectives at their heels the two men went to the building in it Fifty-second street shortly after dnight Thureday. They opened the Gownstairs door after they had given the signal agreed upon with the watchman. Then they went to the eleventh floor, where they jimmied a door leading into the Stern loft. A half hour later the men came down- stairs and hastened to the furnished room in Seventh avenue which they had engaged Wednesday. The detectives now possessed evi- dence of an attempted burglary, and Inspector Faurot ordered the arrest of the pair early yesterday morning. A squad of detectives were firat sent to the house in East One Hundred and Seventh street, where Speider- man had @ room. There they found, besides the tooln used for breaking open ai fulminating ca: batteries, wires attached to fuses, a revolver, gloves, u blackjack, an au- tomatic pistol and jimmies. | Detective O'Gorman and several jother members of the special squad went to the Intervale avenue house. Rothman and Sneiderman were found asleep, They were arrested before they could reach under the bed, where 4 new valise was stored, In the bag the detectives found two |amall and two large sticks of dy namite, “Don't let the women know you got us,” was the firat statement made |by the two men, Rothman explained he was engaged to a respectable girl and she would die of grief if he) ned he was a burglar, | “And my wife sailed for Europe on | Feb. 5.
