( DOWN AND OUTS HAVE THIEF HUNT ON THE BOWERY Scour Lodging. Houses and Other Resorts for Two Who Robbed Benefactor. Herman Muller, of No. 948 Columbus Avenue, a social worker, was in a Bowery restaurant at 8 A. M. to-day, in accordance with his weekly custom of feeding the down-and-out. Part of the money for these “feeds” is hiv own, and part is contributed by others. It is his custom to let the unfortu- nates tell him their troubles during the meal, and ask his advice. Several of the fifty enjoying his hospitality to- day crowded round him to ask ques- tions, when one snatched his $125 stickpin and another tried to get his gold watch. , The two ingrates fled, pursued by most of the fifty others, but the fugitives escaped. Muller reported the theft at the Elizabeth Street Sta- tion and Detective Cavanaugh was sent to the restaurant.. He got on a chair and made a speech to the down- and-outs, most of whom had returned. to finish eating. He told them it was a shame for a benefactor to be treated so shabbily and that if they didn’t get the culprit they would have him to reckon with. The fifty men left and scattered in all directors. In a short time they came back dragging a man, who said he was John Kelly, twenty-five, a welder from St.Louis. He had been found in @ nearby longing house. The police say Muller identified him.
