Having searched their victims, the robbers gave further warning that any attempt to prevent their escape or to follow them would result in instant death. The robbers backed out of the chub room and made off. Waiting until they thought it safe to do so and live, the clubmen noti- fied the police, who sent an alarm all over Hudson County. On Hudson Boulevard, later, policemen of Jersey rested four Italians, all of whom, they say, were armed. They were taken to the Oakland Avenue Police Station in Jersey City and word was sent to the men who had been robbed to come and see if they could identify them, which they will do to-day a ‘CHRISTY MATHEWSON OUT, FIRST TIME IN MONTHS.

What strange influences are at work in courts of justice and in prisons which apparently place above the law. such criminals as William F. Hoey, to- day formally arraigned in the Jeffer- son Market Police Court and held without bail for the murder of Patrol- man Daniel F. Neville? Hoey was tvatchman in the junk yard running from 88th to 39th Streets, near 11th Avenue, on the edge of “Hell's Kitchen,” where Neville was shot to death in a shanty last Satur- day night. The police are now trying) to ascertain how long Hoey has been out of Sing Sing, They didn't know that he had been in Sing Sing, let alone that he had been paroled. When he was arrested on Aum. 13 last for robbery in the first degres, they were amazed. Their records showed that he was in Elmira under sentence for robbery in the "ist de- gree, which means imprisonment for from one and one-half yearns to twenty years. Hoey’s recent record shows the} laxity of the law's officers and the | ease with which criminals get in and out of prison, and the bad handling of bail bonds, notwithstanding the investigation of The Evening World some. time ago which brought prom- ises from the office of the District Attorney of reforms in that direction, It has been developed that there 1 apparent co-operation between |the police, the District Attorney's office and the State prisons.
