CRIME IN NEW YORK.
MURDERS AND ROBBERIES.
By Telegraph. —Press, Assn —Copvrltrht. New York, Jan. 1
A wave of crime is sweeping over New York. There have been six murders in the present week, and a dozen other persons have been injured in affrays. Two brothers, caught red-handed, were shot dead. The latest spectacular crime occurred in Broadway. Three robbers entered a restaurant and, covering the occupants with pistols, robbed ten customers and then escaped in a taxi-cab, keeping up a fusilade on the pursuing police. Sam Gold, Harry Cohen and Mrs. Abe Attell, wife of the pugilist, have been arrested on a charge of stealing one and a half million dollars’ worth of bonds on July last. The theft occurred during transfer from the Reserve Bank in New York to the Treasury Department at Washington. Some were stamped paid, but the stamp was removed by chemicals and many were passed before the police were able to trace the perpetrators.
