ROBBED OF JEWELS AND MONEY At Pistol'* Point Was Compelled to Sign Checks—Kidnapping Occurred In Falrmount Park—One of ths Men Arrested Makes Confession. Philadelphia, Oct. 7.—Charged with kidnapping a woman and holding her a prisoner for four days, robbing her of Jewels worth more than $2,000. and compelling her to sign bank checks for large sums of money, is the story which the police unfolded here yester day,when they announced the arrest of two newspaper men, a stenographer in another newspaper office and a bar ber, all of whom are charged with complicity in the crime. The nem now locked up at the cen tral police station are Howard K Sloan, an unemployed reporter; Henry Wallace, society editor of one of the morning newspapers; J. Knight Find lay, of Wayne, near here, stenogra pher in the business office of another morning paper, and Oscar S Duniap. a barber employed in one of the most prominent shops in the city. The victim is Mrs. Mabel Goodrich, the proprietress of an establishment on North Tenth street. The four men were arrested on Saturday night and will be given a hearing today. Last Monday Mis Goodrich went to police headquarters and told a story of kidnapping and robbery so daring that the police at first doubted its truth. She said that for gome time past a young man. who represented himself as a resident of Oermantown had been a frequent visitor at her es tablishment He was well dressed and spent money freely. Last Wed nesday a week, she said, he proposed a drive through Fairmoutit Park. He asked her to dress in her best clothes and for her to wear all her diamonds and other jewelry, because n the re turn front the drive he Intended te take her to the finest dining room in the city, and he wanted her to "shine" with the other women in the place. She accepted, and the next day she went out with him in a carriage, with a fine pair of richly caparisoned horses, and with a coachman on the box wearing stylish livery. At a lone ly place in Kairinount Park the car rlage was stopped by a man whom she said represented himself as D. Clar ence Gibboney, the secretary and at torney of the Law and Order Society of this city. This man, she went on to say. told her that he had a warrant for her arrest on the charge of keep ing a disorderly house, but that tho matter could be fixed up. He was in vited Into the carriage, and the next moment she was gagged and blind folded. She was driven somewhere she did not know, but she noticed from one corner of the handkerchief over her eyes that the men paid toll at two toll gates, and that they took her into a building where a fire en gine and a hook and ladder truck were standing. She was kept a prisoner from Thurs day night until Friday night, without anything to eat or drink, and was then taken on another long drive, blindfolded, to a house, where she was kept from Friday until Monday. In the latter place the men, who were masked, stripped her of th«* jewelry, and at the point of a revolver com pelled her to sign bank checks for various sums of money she had de posited in the Third National Bank. They made her sign for more than she possessed, but compelled her to prom ise she would make up the deficiency when they released her. The men. 'she said, then took her on another long drive, and put her out at Tenth and Poplar streets, about a mile Trom her house. With other information the woman gave them, the detectives began to work on what they believed to be a fairy tale. They got several clues, which led them to a fire house in North Wayne. 15 miles from this city. The flre company is a volunteer or ganization. and the key to the place was kept in the nearest dwelling. The nearest houße was occupied by a fam ily named Findlay, and there the po lice learned that one of the aons, J Knight Findlay. had been home but little during the past two weeks. Get ting a description of him. the police returned to the city, and found the young man, who is only 21 years old. in the office where he is employed He was charged with the crime, and broke down and Implicated three others Findlay said that he had imper sonated the coachman; that Sloan, the unemployed reporter, acted the part of Attorney Gibboney; that the barber played the part of the riih German town resident, and that Wallace, the society editor, had rented a house in Oermantown, where Mrs flood; ich was to have been held a captive. He told substantially the same story as that narrated by the woman. He said they kept her confined in the fire house, ana then IOOK nor to the house, where Sloan was arrested yesterday, at 2556 North Twelfth St. All the jewelry was recovered, most of It having been found in the pos session of Findlav and Sloan who were wearing some of the rings. Only one check, for $155. was cashed, and : most of this money was also recover ! ed. Sloan was to have begun work on | the same newspaper on which Findlay ' was employed today. Wallace has been society editor of the paper on which he was employed for only i two weeks. ! The penalty for kidnapping In this state. under act of assembly, as amended at the last session of the legislature, is life imprisonment.

CLOSEST CONTEST OF SERIES Invincible Defender Is Beater Over the Finish Line By a Small Margin, But Becomes the Victor On the Time Allowance. New York. Oct. s.—With victory flags flowing from her towering mast heads and the ends of her spreaders In honor of her concluding triumph in the cup races of 1901, the gallant sloop Columbia returned to her anchorage under the escort of the entire excur sion fleet. She. yesterday, completed her defense of the honored trophy in another stirring race with the Sham rock II over a leeward and windward race of 30 miles, crossing the finish line two seconds behind her antago nist but winning on the time allow ance by 47 seconds. For the second time she has now suc cessfully foiled the attempt of the Irish knight to wrest from our possession the cup that means the yachting su premacy of the world And plucky Sir Thomas Lipton. standing on the bridge of the Erin led his guests in three hearty huzzahs for the successful de lender. "She is the better boat," he said, "and she deserves to be cheered " At one time yesterday Columbia seemed a mile ahead, when the wind suddenly allowed Shamrock to point nearer the mark and a mile from home the challenger nppeared to be leading by fully half a mile. The talent began to feel nervous, but as the yachts ap proached the finish the Yankee skipper by some miraculous legerdem: in shov ed his boat into the light air like a phantom ship and crossed the line practically at the same time as the Shamrock. Many of Sir Thomas' guests on board the Erin crowded around to express their sympathy at his defeat and in sured him of the high place be had won in the hearts of all Americans. "When a man wins a heart he has won more than a cup," said one of them. There were tears in the Irish baronet's eyes when he thanked them for their kind words. Said he: "The words you have spoken touch me far more than my defeat. I tried to win the cup and I have done my best But better than all that I have the good wishes of this country." RANSOMING MISS STONE Boston Has Already Raised a Third of the Necessary Amount. Boston, Oct. 7.—Just how much money has been given to fho fund for the ransom of Miss Ellen M. Stone, the American board missionary, held captive by brigands is not known ihis morning. Those directing the effort, in her behalf hope that the respone throughout the country will be very liberal and that the figure is fully SIOO,OOO. if not the necessary amount which is $1(1,000 more. At the Shawmut Congregational church, Rev. W. T. McElween said that, while he did not wish to discourage the present movement for Miss Stone's release, yet the whole thing appeared to him to establish a bad precedent. He thought there must be some efficacy in a first class battleship with decks cleared for action. In his opinion the brigands were playing a game of bluff and had no idea of assassinating their prisoner. The urgency of the case kept the American Board in session for two hours yesterday. Later the committee issued a statement based upon the views of President Samuel B. Capen of the board and the secretary, Rev Dr. Judson Smith, as the result of thiftyf visit to Washington. President Capen says thai the gov ernment at Washington, both President and the state department have done, are doing, and will (-onlinci* to do all that is in ther power to procure the release of Miss Stone ; CONNELL WAS WARNED Company C's Captain Knew o( w insur gents' Possible Attack.
