FIGHT WITH ROBBERS IN NEW YORK
(Received December 22, 1 a.m.) NEW YORK, December 21. Emile Mathis, a French automobile manufacturer, fought unassisted two armed robbers who attempted to steal Mrs Mathis's jewellery in front of an exclusive hotel in the heart of up-town Manhattan, while she screamed and a taxi-cab driver looked on without helping. Mr Mathis rolled in the gutter with one of his asailants. His vigorous resistance caused the pair to flee without the jewellery, valued at thousands of dollars.
