Messenger Boy Survives Bold Fur Coat Robbery Plot
Nathaniel Rosenblum, Brill Brothers clerk and messenger, was targeted in a daring daytime heist at West End Avenue. Two well dressed suspects lured him with fur coats valued at $636, bound him with a towel, and fled. The scheme involved a staged rooming house visit, a hidden closet, and a quick escape to a basement hallway. An ambulance was later called after a suspected overdose of aether, but Rosenblum recovered and described the pair as Duplesses and Snider, with details circulated to other cities.
