BRUTAL AMERICAN ROBBERS. JEWELS TAKEN AT PARTY. NEW YORK, Nov. ID. The victim of a brutal robbery at a house party at Buffalo has offered a huge reward for the capture of the bandits — dead or alive—and preferably dead. It is the second robbery of the kind within a week, and police and the sufferers have joined in offering rewards.
Mr. John Carson's house-warming was proceeding nicely, when three masked men stepped through the French doors .and stripped the women guests of £100,OtX) worth of jewels. Mrs. R. Van;cliff lost a string of matched pearls worth £50,000. When the bandits burst in the guests thought it was a prank by friends, but the seriousness of the situation was conveyed when two women were ruthlessly knocked down with clenched fists, and left with black eyes and swollen jaws.
Mr. 'Carson offers to pay £15,000 for the bodies of the dead robbers, or half that sum for their arrest.
