Complimented by Court for Trailing Highwaymen to Catch Them in Robbery Act.
"If the average policeman and detective showed as much intelligence in his work as you have done," Magistrate House said to Patrolman William Flannery in the West Side Court to-day, "there would be fewer robberies and other crimes in New York. Your superiors should compliment you, too."
Flannery early to-day was on his post on Seventh Avenue, near Thirty-ninth Street. He saw a woman, who appeared to have been drinking, accompanied by a man. They turned into Thirty-ninth Street. Flannery followed on the opposite side of the street. In front of No. 225 the man and woman stopped and another man came up. One held the woman while the other took an envelope containing $34 from her waist. Flannery ran over and captured both men.
The woman said she was Mrs. Mary E. Given of No. 515 West One Hundred and Thirty-eighth Street. The men were Thomas Sullivan and Joseph McCabe. They refused to give their addresses.
Mrs. Given said one of the men was a chance acquaintance who had volunteered to escort her to the elevated.
