ARREST OF A N.Y. DOCTOR'S WIFE
CASE OF MISTAKEN IDENTITY;
Charged With Theft of $13 From a Man and
Locked Up In a Cell.
NOW York, Dec. 31. --With the arraign-
ment in a police court to -day of Mrs.
Alexander Trautman, the wife of a pro.
rainent physician, on a charge of lar-
ceny, came the final act in what is be-
lieved to be one of the most deplorable
cases of mistaken identity in the eity's
police history. Mrs. Trautman wits ar-
rested in Fifth avenue on Christmas
eve on the complaint of Peter J. Hogan,
a salesman, who accused her of having
Nil• 'obbeaohim of $13 a few evenings be -

' eosted him on the street, had invited
him into a dark beltway and that when
• be left he learned that the money which
had been in his pocket was missing. Mrs.
Trautman protestedher innocence, but
" the policeman upon whom Ilogan had
mulled .to arrest her, took her to the
station house.
The arrest of the fashionally dressed
woman on the crowded thoroughfare at-
tracted a great crowd which followed
the officer and his prisoner. At the
Station house Mrs. Tv:Littman again tear-
fully protested teat she was a victim ef
a terrible mistake and gave the sergeant
in charge the names of her husband and
. several friends who, she said, would sub-
etantiato her story. None of those
weld be reached imeindiately by tele -
hone, however, and Mrs. Trautman wee
taken to a cell where sbe was forced te
spend several hours in the company of
half a dozen dissolute womeo who had
been arrested on various charges, net
t e end of that time friends of Mrs.
adman had been notified of her pre-
eminent and had hurriea to the sta-
tion Nouse to procure her release. They
protested against the arra- t as an out-
rage, but were informed that it would
be necessary for thin to turnish bail be-
fore slie could be given her litetty,
Bail to the amount of $1,000 was for-
nished, and Mrs. Trautmen woe taken
