John ROBLEN'S Delusion
A man who ran down Flatbush ave., with a crowd at his heels, yesterday, was
caught by Mounted Policeman DUFFY. The man was John ROBLEN, a waiter, who
said he lived at 626 Sixth ave., He was insane, and said he had just escaped
from Raymond Street Jail, where he had left his gold watch and chain and
$200. He said the people who followed him wanted to steal his money. He was
taken in charge, and will be cared for in the right place.
COURT BREVITIES
Dennis CONKLIN is suing the Budweiser Brewing Company for $5,000 damages. He
was knocked down and injured by a wagon on June 29.
Frank SWEENEY, son of Gen. SWEENEY, to-day secured bondsmen and is at
liberty. He was held on two charges, one of larceny and the other of
forgery, and in each case gave $4,000 bonds.
VON GLAHN Brothers, Wallabout grocers, obtained an attachment against Charles
MILLER, a grocer, of Division and Wythe aves., whom they claim tried to
defraud them out of $345 by pretending he had sold the store to his
brother-in-law, when in reality he had not sold it at all.
A suit which aptly illustrates the story of the (case) in which the lawyers
got the oyster and claimants the shells, was up in the Surrogate's Court
to-day. Bridget CASEY left all her money ($900) to Jane COCHRAN. Twenty
heirs claim a legal right to the property, and four lawyers are helping them
with the contest. If the contestants are successful the lawyers fees and the
cost of court will eat up all the money.
