Van Norden theft exposes hid underworld in New York lodging house
Grand Jury indicts Kitty Dowdell alias Besste Roberts and May Williams alias Chicago May after they allegedly robbed Warner M. Van Norden, ex president of the Van Norden Trust, of 28000. The women ran a West Thirty fourth Street rooming house and lured the victim in a swift theft before a quick replacement of the money. Detectives Peabody and O Farrell identified Dowdell as the principal, while lodgers and the housekeeper’s husband expressed disbelief at the charges citing her respectable demeanor. The Coburg apartments at 219 West Thirty-fourth Street were central to the investigation as officers connected Dowdell to the crime and the underworld milieu surrounding the case.
