LURED TO HOTEL
TO BE ROBBED
I
NEW YORK— May 31.—A chair
that crushed out the second floor win
dow of the Hoted Glenoble at 56th
Street and Seventh Avenue, just after
8 o’clock last night, the uproad of a
' tight and the cries for help sent po
licemen on duty outside Carnegie Hall
where a meeting was in progress, run
ning into the hotel.
The first policemen to rush into the
hotel lobby met a hatless man hurry
ing out. They tripped him up in his
flight, turned him over to following
policemen and rushed up the first
flight of stairs. A woman’s voice
from the landing above screamed:
“There’s one up here!”
Rushing upstairs the officers
found a panting man hiding behind a
door. Then they turned their atten
tion to the room from which the chair
had been thrown, instead of the noise
of fighting there came from it now 1
only the groans of an injured man. I
The door was locked. A policeman
smashed the panel and stepped in
side.
Lying dazed and bleeding on the
floor was a man who later said he
was M E. Fitzpatrick of No. 138
West 49th Street, a steamship stew- I
ard until rheumatism forced him to i
give up work. He then came East
from San Francisco for treatment.
His story of the battle is the only i
one the police so far have to work on. <
He is being held until the case is 1
cleared up on a technical charge of
felonious assault. The other two are 1
held charged with felonious assault <
and attempted burglary. The man
caught in the lobby say s he is John i
Wait, thirty-six, a railroad conductor i
out of work and hailing from Reading i
Pa. The man from behind the door
says he is Frank Wilson, forty, a esn-j :
vasser, of No. 50 Market Street, San i
Francisco, also out of work. i
Neither of them has any explana
tion of the disturbance. Fitzpatrick
about. He wore a diamond pin and
had ?36 in his pockets.
Fritzpatrick told the police there
was a third assailant —a man who
bore a different name every time he'
met him —and the man who lured him’ *
to the hotel. This man seems to have
completely disappeared. i

MEXICAN GIRL LOSES
MEMORY IN ATLANTA
•
ATLANTA, GA,. May 31 —A pretty
Mexican girl who claims to*be a sis
ter-in-law of Pancho Villa, the noto-|
riou s revolutionist and bandit chief:
who led General Pershing on his fa- 1
mous pursuit across the Rio Grande,
is being held by the police authorities ;
of Atlanta, pending an investigation of
her strange behaviour on the streets'
which physicians believe was caused
by asphasia, the medical term for loss
of memory.
She gives her name as Anita Cas
tellaour, and her age as sixteen years,'
and states that she has been going to
school at Rocky Mount, N. C. She,
had a railroad ticket in her pocket;
from there to San Antonio, Tex., when
a Travelers Aid worker picked her up
up in the Terminal station, wandering
around aimlessly and completely at
a loss to give any information con
cerning herself.
She was taken to a rescue home for
girls and stayed there three days, then
left and went down town and was
found by a policeman on Peachtree
street saluting every soldier she met
and seeming to be entirely in igno
rance of her identity or whereabouts.
When taken to police station she re
turned to memory in an intermittent
sort of way. and during these inter
vals gave the information stated above.
