TOT SMS MOTHER UD ID BOUND Mrs. Charles Hubbart Is Tied to Chair irv Her Tent by Strang Burglar. INTRUDER IN WRONG PLACE Thllo Polio Seek Man Who Kan sacked Home Day Before, He Demands Money From Woman. Babe Frees Her From Room.' Gagged and lashed to a chair by a masked robbaf who was on bis second attempt to find hidden wealth In her house, Mrs. Chiirles Hubbart. living In a tent house at East Sixty-sixth and Fremont streets, was partially released by the baby fingers of her little I-year- old eon yesterday afternoon and, still bound to a chair, by great pnyeic effort managed to make her way to the bouae of a neighbor, a block away, whence an alarm was sent to the police station. Captain Baty, who already had de tectives worklna- on the first attempt ed burglary, made the day before, sent officers at once, but they found the woman too nervous to give any accu rate description of her masked assail ant, nor had he been seen by anyone In the neighborhood.

Everv drawer and re ceptacle had been rifled and her be longings were strewn aooui me nouso. Intruder Carrie Rev.lver. A hurried examination showed that nothing had been taken, and the act was set down as that of a demented person. The detectives were notinea. but could find nothing to work on. Mrs. Hubbart was sitting In the house about 1:10 o'clock yesterday aft ernoon when suddenly a man entered. wearing a mask over his face and car rying a revolver in his hand. Her baby was playing In me yara ouisiae. "Keep quiet ar.d sit still." the In truder commanded, holding his weapon leveled at the woman's head. I kno you have money hidden around this place, and I know that It Is not In the house, so you have KO to mi mo where It Is." The frightened woman protested that they were poor people and Just strug gling to establish a home; that they had no money, hidden or otnorwise. "I know better," replied the des perado. 1 know where you sold a piece of property and got the money for It, and I know It isn I in ins oana 51 a me gave Woman. In her protests the woman happened to mention her name, and the robber waa plainly nonplussed. Is that ' your namer he cried. Then I have made a mistake." He turned to go sway when the danger of an a'arm struck him and he turned back. "I'll Just see that you don't give me away, he said. Taking a sheet from a pile of laun dry on the table, he tore It Into strips and with them tied the woman's arms to her chair. Then he fastened a nap kin over her mouth and went out. fas tening the door on the outside. Partially recovering from her fright, Mrs. Hubbart struggled to releaae her self, but finding her bonds firm, she dragged herself to the door.- Here again she was balked. for. tied as she was, she could not force the fastening. The boy, playing outside, came to the door at thla Juncture and managed to releaae the catch. He was too young, however, to take commands, and Mrs. Hubbart dragged herself about 100 feet to her nearest neighbor, where the alarm waa given. Robber Haa Black Ere. When Mrs. Hubbart recovered suffi ciently she described the Intruder aa being slim and smooth-shaven, with dark hair and eyes, and speaking Eng lish welL He wore a dark suit, a black soft hat and a blue dotted handker chief. He carried a blue steel revolver of small caliber. Detectives Acker man. Craddock and Eppa spent a large part of last night looking for him. Mrs. Hubbart. except for alight abra sions and a severe fright. Is none the worse for her experience. From her statements Captain Baty ta convinced that the robber was on the trail of some other person, whom he knew to have received money from the sale of real estate. Thinking the home of the Hubbarts was the place, he had gone there Thursday and after waiting for the woman to depart made a thor ough search. Disappointed in that, he made the violent attack yesterday and waa brought to a halt only by discov ery of Ms error. From the desperate course he pursued It Is deemed certain that he would not have hesitated at torture tf hla demands bad been -fur. ther denied.
