THE BROOKLYN DAILY EAGLE. NEW YORK. FRIDAY. DECEMBER 11. 1908.

PORK TENDERLOINS PASSED AS VENISON Hotel Man at Richmond Hill Fooled Both Guests and Game Wardens. WARDENS TRIED AGAIN LATER. Charge Him Now With Serving Robins as Squabs or Reed Birds. Summoned to Court. As the result of an Investigation that has been going on during the past month, Gottlieb Leihbacher, the proprietor of a hotel on Myrtle avenue, near Woodhaven avenue, Glendale, Queens, was served with a summons to-day, ordering him to appear in the Supreme Court of New York County and answer charges of lating the game law of the state.

The hotel keper is given twenty days in which to file an answer. The events leading up to the serving of the summons. are interesting. The game wardens who have been working up case against man thought that they would to Glendales, charge him with having in his possession venison out of season, for they obtained an invitation -card, written in German, bidding all Glendale, and surrounding country come to Mine Host Leihbacher's hotel on Saturday, Sunday and Monday, December 5, 6 and 7, for on each day would be a "Hirsch essen," which, being translated, means "venison dinner." Among the guests on the first day were several correctly dressed men who sat in one corner of the dining hall by themselves, and seemed to take an unusual interest in what wag being served. Suddenly they arose, darted for the kitchen, and demanded to see the venison that was being served.

They searched the hostelry from cellar to garret, but not a bit of deer's flesh did they find. What they did find, however, were pork tenderloins in abundance, and the host is said to have then confessed that his invitations had been misleading, and he was serving pork tenderloins instead of venison, "for," said he, "when tenderloins are properly cooked, you can't tell 'em apart from venison steaks." The game wardens, however, had dence in their possession which tended to show, they claim, that Leihbacher had been using many robing in his hotel during the past few weeks, both on the regular menu as squabs or reed birds, and on the free lunch counters. They had learned, they say, that once or twice a week parties of Richmond Hill men went into Forest Park, north of Richmond Hill. between 6 and 8 A.M., and shot hundreds of robins and starlings, in direct violation of the game law. These birds, it is claimed, were distributed among certain hotels in Glenday, November 7, Leihbacher is said TE to dale and Richmond Hill, and, on Saturhave given a banquet at his hotel, at which the piece de resistance was made of robins.

The guests were the members of one of the hunting parties who had shot the birds, and the game wardens claim that, among those present, were several borough officials, including a county official, whose office is in Jamaica. These men may be proceeded against, but it is thought that they will take warning from Lethbacher's trouble and keep out of Forest Park hereafter. The charge of selling robins also implicates the proprietor of another hotel in Richmond Hill, who also may find himself in difficulty on account of the visit to his place of a game warden. The case against Leihbacher is being Fish and Game a Commission. evipressed by the attorneys for then Forest, dence against him was obtained for the most part by a well known resident of Richmond Hill and a member of the Audubon Society, who exacted the promise that his name would not be disclosed at present.

In recognition of his services he has been appointed a special game warden, with power to make arrests. AUTO DOES DOUBLE DUTY. (Special to the Eagle.) Huntington, L. December 11-Edgar A. Sammis of West Neck has solved the problem of how to get the water from a deep driven well into a reservoir which he has had constructed for supplying his house.

Mr. Sammis owns and operates a runabout auto, and he has geared the auto engine to the pump head, and in a. very short time each day he pumps all the water necessary for family use. This method is not patented. HIS SKULL MAY BE FRACTURED.

AGED GROCER IN STORE THROTTLED BY THIEVES Three Robbers Get $25 and His Pocketbook; One of Them Arrested. LONG PURSUIT 'CROSS LOTS Started by Meyer's Stalwart Son, Who Heard Father's Cries--Policeman Helped, Later, Aged Fred Meyer, a grocer, who has been in business in East Flatbush for many years, had a desperate encounter with three Italian highwaymen in his store this morning, when they held him un and stole a pocketbook containing $25.

It was only after he had called repeatedly for help while the men beating him unmercifully that he aroused his son Henry, a stalwart young man, who gave chase to the robbers. Young Meyers followed the men across the fields of "Pigtown," until Mounted Policeman Jacobs of Flatbush hove in sight. Then the policeman on horseback pursued the men, finally capturing one, who gave his name as "Jack" Demorest, of Myrtle avenue and Navy street, but who was later identifled as Jacobino Ambroiso, of 479 New York avenue. Mr. Meyer who is aged 69, and with age, was in his store at 505 Brooklyn avenue about 7:30 o'clock this morning when Ambrosio and two companions entered.

Ambrosio was the boldest of the lot. He approached the grocer and asked for a pound of cooked ham. When the infirm man turned his back to comply with the order, he alleges Ambrosio caught him from the rear by the throat and held him firmly. This was the cue to the companions, Meyers declares. They came forward and rifled his pockets.

Nor did they hurry themselves in the least. After relieving the grocer of his pocketbook, and evidently satisfled with the contents, the men released their grip on him and proceeded to leave the store, warning Meyer against raising an aalrm. In obedience to their demands he remained silent until they left the store, but the moment they were gone, he shouted loudly for help. His shouts could be heard distinctly by his son upstairs, and he hurriedly got on his feet and went to his father's aid. Acquainted with the facts, the youth went after the highwaymen.

Soon he was chasing them across the field. In the vicinity of Kingston avenue, Baker, the policeman, was attracted, and he pursued the fugitives. After a brief chase, Ambrosio was caught and arrested, charged with robbery. The other men escaped, but it is expected they will be arrested to Captain Dulfer has their name and addresses. In the Flatbush court to-day Ambrosio gave the name of "Jack Demorest." Maglistrate Steers had remembered the prisoner as the same who was charged with petty larceny by Carmin Orlando of 384 Lefferts avenue, several days before.

remember you." said the magistrate. "IL you are guilty of this charge you ought to be sent away for a number of years. am glad that you arrested the man who is charged with holding up this respectable citizen," continued the magistrate to Policeman Baker. "I will hold him without bail until next Tuesday when I will hear evidence myself. I have no sympathy for these highwaymen." Grocer Meyer stated to the court that he was certain of his charge, positive that Ambrosio grabbed him by the throat, as he 'feels the marks on his throat The prisoner would not reveal the names of his accomplices.

He was taken to police headquarters by Policeman Baker to be "mugged." "NOBODY IS RESPONSIBLE" So Coroner's Jury Finds as to Gold Street Tragedy. Long Inquest Ended Last Night. Many Experts Examined at Length, in Vain. The jury empaneled by Coroner Kennedy to determine what led to the disaster on Gold, at Front street, on the 20th of November last, by which a dozen people lost their lives, rendered a verdiet last night and found: no one to blame. A number of witnesses had been examined, including experts in engineering and persons who were in the neighborhood at the time of the collapse of the trench, but Do one seems to be able to throw any light on the cause of it all.

There seemed to be a well defined opinion that the collapse was not due primarily to an explosion of gas, but the evidence all showed that suddenly, and without warning of any sort, the sides of the trench, which was 47 feet deep, dropped in on the workmen and the city inspector, and dragged with them the two children who were playing on the surface of the street, and whose bodies were found first of all in the grewsome search. Only a few witnesses were examined last night, as supplementary to those whose evidence had been heard on the first day of the inquest. The jury's verdict was: "From the testimony we are unable to find anyone responsible for the cave-in." The jurors were: Henry E. Ide. 268 Henry street: G.

A. Raabe, 225 Eldert street; Edwin C. Yates, 1289 Dean street; William H. Faber, 269 McDonough street; Victor Lyon. Seventh street: Louis Nadel, 269 Cumberland street; Benjamin Sachs, 2673 Atlantic aventte: Alexander Underhill, 132 Patchen Charles Zleler, 359 Atlantic avenue.

A separate verdict was given in each of the twelve case's, each reciting the cause of death as determined by the physician who examined the bodies, and each reciting the fact that the blame could not be fixed. The following were the victims of the disaster: Frederick Scheffemeyer, 39 years old, inspector, married; cause, suffocation. John Brady, 6 years old; cause, skull broken. William Dougherty, 5 years and 11 months old; cause, skull broken. Francesco Armento, 25 years old, laborer.

married; cause, skull 1 and spine broken. Samuel Abrams, 55 years old, blacksmith: cause, burned to death. Emil Bochman, 42 years old, carpenter, married; cause, legs and ribs crushed. Knud Nelsen, 20 years old, carpenter; cause, skull crushed. Henri Reinberg, 25 years old, carpenter; cause, suffocated.

August Anderson. 31 years old, carrenter, married; cause, skull crushed. Gustave Wallor, 28 years old, carpenter, married: cause suffocation. Gustave Lindstrom, 30 years old, penter, married; cause, suffocation. Cosino Der Cresento, 20 years old, laborer; cause, skull broken.

ONE DEAD; ONE UNCONSCIOUS. With gas escaping from one of the jets and the door locked. Mrs. Rose Bauduy, 33 years old. was found dead, and her husband.

Louis, 35 years old, unconscious, this morning, in their room in an apartment on the second floor of the house at 146 West Eighty-third street, Manhattan, Bauduy was taken to Roosevelt Hospital, where his condition is said to be serious. From all appearances, the couple were accidentally overcome by the gas. The door had to be broken open and Mrs. Bauduy was found dead in bed and her husband was lying unconscious at her side. JUDGE CRANE LENIENT TO JURORS IN CONTEMPT Let Them Off With a Reprimand and $10 Fine Each.

IGNORANCE PLEA REJECTED. Jurors Had Each Earned $10 During Week of Service, and That Paid Their Fine, In Part I of the Queens County Supreme Court at Flushing this forenoon Justice Frederick E. Crane fined the twelve jurors whom he found guilty of contempt of court yesterday $10 each. All the Jurors were present with the exception of Cladius Offray of Flushing, who sent a doctor's certifcate of illness to explain his absence. With the expectation that the jurors would be committed to jail for contempt many people were in the court room this morning when convened.

After the names of the jurors been called, George V. S. Williams, of Williams Richardson of Brooklyn, addressed the court and said: "I understand, your honor, that you have convicted these jurors of contempt of court." "No," interrupted Justice Crane, "they have themselves." Mr. Williams then explained that four of the jurors had never served on juries before, and that none of them had any Intention of violating the court's instruction nor of. -showing any disrespect to the court.

He said that when they found that there were no hopes of an agreement they decided to go home, as they had not understood that the court had ordered the jury to remain in session until a certain hour of the night. Mr: Williams said that Juror Offray had tickets for a performance that night, and that, seeing that there would be no agreement on a verdict, he did not believe that he was dong anything wrong if he went home SO that Me. could use the tickets. Justice Crane sald that he felt more sorry for the jurors than they did for themselves. He then went on to say that he had given instructions to the jurors to remain in consideration of the case until a certain hour, and that they should not have left the jury room until the time he had named.

"There is a principle at stake," said Justice Crane. "I cannot overlook it, for ignorance of the law is no excuse. The Jurors have earned $10 each for serving five days this week, and I now find them guilty of contempt of court and fine them each $10." The fines were all paid, except that of Juror Offray, who was not present, and the talesmen left the court room, each vowing to himself that he would never again be recreant to his duty as a juror, no matter if being faithful meant staying on the job all night and all the following day. $12,500 FOR A LEG.

Blaenton, Believes More Fighting Will Follow New Administration in Black Republic. The Royal Dutch West India Mall steamer Prins Willem II, arrived to-day from Haytian ports, and is now at her pier at the foot of Forty-second street, South Brooklyn. "They got Nord Alexis to the French cruiser at Port au Prince through a declared First Officer Willem de Groot, to a representative of the Eagle, this morning. "The old former president of Hayti thought he was being escorted to a Haytian gunboat to be taken to Jamaica, but instead he was on the French cruiser. It was that was played solely to avert further trouble and bloodshed.

Everything seemed to be quiet when we reached Port of Prince last Friday, and St. Marc last Saturday. We had many applications from refugees, but we could not go to a Jamaica port, and they did not want passage to New York, so we did not take any." The only Haytian passenger was Edward A. Blaenton, of Philadelphia, who is building a railroad in Hayti. Mr.

Blanton said he believed civil war would follow the new administration, and that the end was not yet in the black republic. SPECIAL ADVERTISEMENTS. SPECIAL ADVERTISEMENTS.
