Prisoner Identified As An Old And Dangerous Offender
Had Andrew Ehring reckoned with his host, he would never have tried to force an entrance in the stationary store of Mrs Mary Kaiser, at 161 Wyckoff Avenue, late last night. Ehring prowled around the rear of the premises, and seeing no one about and the entire place in darkness, he started to raise the rear window of Mrs Kaiser's store.
He had hardly got one foot in the room before he was seized by the throat by a hand which pulled him inside. Then a light was turned on and the burglar found that he was captured by the woman that he meant to rob. She screamed for the police and then struggled to hold him captive.
She apparently got the better of him, for his face presented a swollen, cushion like appearance, and Mrs Kaiser had not even a scratch to give evidence of a tussle, when the prisoner was brought before Magistrate O'Reilly in the Manhatten Avenue police court today.
According to Mrs Kaiser's statement in court, her daughter sat on the man's legs while she attended to his face, waiting until the arrival of Patrolman Andrew Stabb, of the Hamburg Avenue Station, who, with some trouble arrested the man.
In the examination today it developed that Ehring is an old offender. Three years ago he was arrested by Patrolman Buckhart, whom he stabbed. At one time, when he escaped from the Raymond Street Jail, several of the employees there were implicated in the escape and dismissed.
Ehring said that he was a steamfitter by trade, 27 years old and lived at 422 Stanhope Street. He was held in $1000 bail for examination on Friday.
