Later Mrs. Palmer and a woman friend left the Drew apartment. They were ac- companied by two men who had at- tended the tea, The informant would Not disclose the names of Mre Palmer’s companions, The quartette departed for the Montfarte Cafe. The latest informant, who had been Present at Mrs. Drew’s tea party, db- tained her account of the subsequent happenings from Mrs. Palmer yester- day. She says Mre, Palmer informed her that there were five robbers in all. Previous accounts have placed the number as three. They were typical roughnecks and were totally 7 tacking in manners and used the lan- Buage of the underworld. The five robbers had obtained en- trance to the house In some mysterl- ous manner and had overpowered the two servants. They took the servants to a wardrobe on the second floor of the home and bound their ankles and wrists with wire. They sat them on the floor, with pillow-cases over their heads. Blankets were later placed about them, for the place was chilly. When Mrs. Palmer entered her bed- room on the second flor late that night she was seized by the robbers. ‘She broke from their grasp and in her Might tumbled down the staircase and injured her ankles. The latest in- farmant states that the robbers picked her up and carried her to a bath- room on the third floor of the house and proceeded to bind her. The rob- ders were rough In their manner and language. Mrs. Palmer, who had been suffering from a bad cold, protested against being kept in the chilly bath- room. She finally asked one of the thieves to procure her atomizer from the second floor. The man remarked: ROBBERS ALMOST PASSED UP NECKLACE AS WORTHLESS. “Where do you get that stuff, or- dering us around.” ‘The story, however, bas it that the thief did go for the atomizer and under Mrs. Palmer's direction, sprayed her throat. One of the thieves noting the pearl necklace which Mrs. Palmer was wearing, demanded to know where she got it. The woman stated that-she bought it for # at a department store, The thief re: marked: ! “Oh, I guess it ain't worth any- thing.” Latér, however, one of the robbers talking to @ fellow craftsman re- marked that it “might be worth o hundred. Lat’s take it along.” This they proceeded to do, ‘The latest informant says that Mrs. Palmer, as she sat huddled in the bath - room and suffering agony a8 a rosult of the injuries she had sustained tn tumbling down the stairs, could hear the robbers as they rummaged through drawers and cupboards. For hours the thieves went about thelr work, from time to time looking in upan the bound wothan. About 7 she partMasea them herself, or if eifts, where she secured them o'clock Tuesday morning they took their departure by way of the front door, Previous to departing, the inform- ant states, one of the robber band came to Mrs. Palmer and inquired: “Lady, whose yer doctor?” ‘Then, the story has it, Mra. Palmer said her doctor was out of the olty but gave the name of another physi- clan who could ‘be sent for. “All right, lady,” replied the robber, ‘T'll call him up.” ‘The rovber band then departed and later the physician arrived. The bad man had kept faith. Mrs. Palmer's friend also desired to ‘point out that the former actress was not in the habit of frequenting danc- ing places; that she had not been in good health and did not dance be- cause of this. 2 It became known this afternoon that the stories told by the two ser- vants in the Palmer home showed wide discrepancies in a number of imporant points. These discrepancies can only be cleared up by Mrs. Palmer. Mrs. Palmer is confined to her bed, suffering from fractured ‘bones in her feet and a genera] nervous break- down and her physicfins and friends will not permit her to be further in- terrogated. Representatives of the insurance company, which carried about $50,000 worth of risk on Mrs. Palmer's jewels and furs have been unable to obtain a concise and connected -account of the robbery, it is stated. They have not been able to obtain a genuine value of the property taken.
