ROBERTS 181 dtif
STILL UNSOLVED
ATLANTIC CITY PCLICE WON'T
ACCEPT RCBCERY THEORY.
WANT TO HEAR WILLIAMS
Husband of Baltimore Man's Compan
ion Is Sought Friends Declare
It a Case of Attempted
Hold-Up.
Atlantic City, N. J., An;:. 23 Refus
ing to accept the stories to the effect
that Charles H. Roberts, the wealthy
clubman of Baltimore, was shot by a
highwayman while in a rolling chair
on the board walk with Mrs. W. S. (1.
Williams, also of Baltimore, on
Wednesday night, the police; of this
city are still working upon the theory
that the Raltiiiiorean was the victim
of a veugeful num. While they will
not sa.r that they believe Mis. Wil
liams' husband knows somet hing about
the shooting, they admit that he will
not be eliminated from the case until
he has prove d conclusively and to
their satisfaction that ho not only was
not in Ailaniic City, ij.it. was entirely
ignorant of the shooting and the cir
cumstances which led up to it. So
determined are they in this direction
that Detective Harry Wil.-on was seat
to Baltimore to make a thorough iu
vt stigation.
Roberts' Condition Still Serious.
The wounded man is still in a seri
ous conditiun at the City hospital. His
condition is considered dangerous and
the physicians will not probe for the
bullet in his liver until his condition
improves. They fear that to operate
upon him now might prove fatal.
Mrs. Williams is still at the Hotel
Brighton, a:id while the police will
not say that she is detained as a wit
ness, they lead inquirers to believe
that such is the case. The colored
man who was pushing the rolling chair
in which Roberts and Mrs. Williams
were riding at the time of the shoot
ing is still locked up.
Calls It Plain Hold-Up.
Charles Stewart, a brother-in-law of
the injured man, said:
"Why, the whole thing is as simple
as can be. It was merely an attempted
robbery. From what I can learn. Mr.
Roberts was asked to step out of the
chair, and before he could make a
move he was shot down. At the time,
in the excitement and suffering severe
ly, he could only give a brief explana
tion, and this was verified by Mrs.
Williams.
"Mr. Roberts and Mrs. Williams
have known each other for years.
! There was absolutely nothing in their
"oinr out together lint thev insf h:i:i-
I:p;, t() , " "vif.lima ,)f " hi-hwav-
man."
Shooter Masked, Says Woman.
Mrs. Williams, in describing the
shooting, corroborated the general
statements of the friends of Mr. Rob
erts, and is positive that the man who
did the shooting stopped the chair in
which she and Mr. Roberts were and
ordered them to threw up their hands.
demanding money. When
refused to turn over th,
highwayman idiot. The
Mr. Roberts
money the
robber, she
says, was masked.
Policeman Rust, who heard the
shots and ran to the scene, thinks the1
shot was fired at Roberts from the
back of the chair.
Mrs. Roberts, the wife of the injured J
man, arrived here Friday. She is in
close attendance upon her husband
and refuses to be seen or have any
thing to say. Several of Mrs. Wil
liams' relatives also arrived heie and
joined her at the Brighton.
Drive Away Reporters.
Baltimore, Aug. 29. One of the pe
culiarities of the Roberts case is the
marked variation between statements,
even those now and then niada by the
same person, and also the aversion to
the presence cf newspaper men that
shows itself at times. A reporter was
Thursday night driven from the Wil
liams country place at the point of a
shotgun. Friday or.e was threatened
with bodily violence for attempting to
interview Williams.
Declares Williams Was in Europe.
A dispatch from Atlantic City say
ing that the police there denied the
hold-up story of ihe shooting, that they
had had Williams under surveillance
and that Mrs. Williams would ba held
as a witness, having bevn read to 11.
C. Dan ell, Williams" paitr.er, le said:
"You may quote me as denying a'.)-;
lutely the assertion that Mr. Wi'lia.v.s
has net boon in Europe. I had k-':rs
from him while there and the fact that
he was abroad could bs proven by a
large nu:r.b;'r of peoj le."

A Costly Accident.
A rather costly accident occurred last
Saturday at the farm of John Tritsch,
southwest of this city. The Kaufman
boys had been engaged in threshing for
Mr. Tritsch, and late in the afternoon
had finished the job. Finding the time
too late to start in on another job, the
boys concluded to mwe the machine,
which was one of the latest Case mod
els, to another field and knock oil for
the day. The separator is a very fire
one, being made of steel and galvanized
iron, and stands high in the air. In
turning, the machine in some manner
became overbalanced, and after vibrat
ing a few moments, it turned over. The
upper works of the separator were
badly damaged, the elevator being torn
ofF and machine otherwise injured.
The boys at once proceeded to Wash
Young's, where they borrowed his
stump pulling outfit and converted it
into a wrecking outfit. In a few mo
ments they had righted the big machine
and were enabled to make an inventory
of the damages. As near as they could
estimate the damage would run close
to $50. It was found that parts to re
pair the machine could not be had this
side of Lincoln, and one of the boys
was compelled to go up there to get the
repairs.
