Hugo Schoolkopf, wife of a wealthy Buffalo broker, during a new year’s party in Carman’s apartment on Fifth avenue. « * J. S. Hirsh, an insurance broker, to whom Mr. Seboelltopf referred all in quiries concerning the robbery, said Mrs. Seboelltopf had recognized one of her three assailants as, a man with whom she played cards during the par ty in Carman’s apartment. Mrs. Shoelkopf came to New York to spend the holidays and had rooms at the Ritz Carlton. She had accepted an invitation to celebrate the new year at the home of a friend on West End avenue. Carman, whom Hirsh said the Schoelkopfs had known for sev eral years, was to have been a guest’ at this party. When illness suddenly developed in the family of the friend, Carman is sa'id to have suggested that the pstrty be given in his apartment. The party consisted of five couples, including Mrs. Schoelkopf and her host. She arrived at the apartment on the fifth floor shortly before ten o’clock. About ten o’clock a man knocked at the door and announced he was algpe downstairs and had a bottle he would like to share, according to Hirsh’s version, presumed to have been told him by Mrs. Schoelkopf. Invited to join the Carman party, he disappeared, returning with a bottle -of champagne and even glasses. At 12:45 a. m. the stronger left the Carman apartments at once, say ing he lived downstairs. Mrs. Schoel kopf left next, saying she would wait in the lobby downstairs for the others to escort her to her hotel. As ehe descended the staircase be tween the fifth and fourth floors, she saw a man standing in the hall before a partly opened door, Hirsh relates. The man sprang at her and pressed a handkerchief saturated with chloro form to her nose. Two men rushed through the part ly opened door and carried Mrs. Seblbel- kopf into an apartment. She recalled being beaten in the face, bound with a rope and gagged, while two men strip ped o,tt her jewels, as a third covered her with a pistol.
