Several followed the purse snatchers as they fled. One of the pursuers threatened them with a tire iron. y The purse snatchers dashed for a taxi, but by this time 106 onlookers had joined in the chase.

Patrolman Peter Robinson, one of the Hut policemen to arrive at the scene, said, Ive never seen anything like it all these people just came out and stopped the cab Explaining their refusal to look the other way, one of the pursuers said, We dont want any Kitty Genoveses in this neighborhood. Kitty Genovese was stabbed to death on a Queens street several years ago. Police said neighbors ignored her screams for help. The Genovese case is considered by some a classic example of not wanting to get involved. Edward Jones, Cyril Oldina and Cinwood Simmons were charged with robbery and assault.

Probe Other Lines Vorenberg said Coxs stall' also is looking into possible major lines of inquiry related to the Watergate case but not yet publicized. He urged Americans with information they think may bear on Watergate to contact his office and said some of the new inquiries are based on leads relayed by government employes and the general public. Vorenberg refused to be more specific. Rodino said the probe, which may be a staff study rather than a tull committee project, could include the handling of its Watergate investigation. Other possible areas of study, he said, are the furnishing of information gathered by the Federal Bureau of Investigation to campaign committees and wiretapping and antitrust cases against big business.
