One Of Tie most daring robberiea ever at
tempted wW accomplished 1t Cook, Sargent =
Parker bank ii this city, A. noon yesterday
While Mr. Parker, one Of the proprietors, and
Mr.. Heath, the book keeper, serc abscnt at din
ner the only person left in the bank was John
Thorington, the cashier, when Ho persons enter
ed the bank, one of them going up To the couT,-
ter where deposits are made, the other went
around the end of the counter and calling Mr..
T. aside, asked him II he kew pereon By the
name of Greene. Mr. T, answered no, and turned
around 70 90 to the counter TO wait upon thu. 9th.
man was struck on the head with Sung sitot,
and suddenly seized by the throat with grasp
that he could not, in his stunned condition,
shake Off The other man jumped over the coaf-
ter and helped himseifto what gold he could car
ny and clambered back, while his comrade still
held Mr.. T. by the throat. They then departed,
probably thinking Mr.. Thorington was dead, az
he was black in the face and unable 70 move,
one saying to the other, don't hurry, walk SLOW
All this was not the work of over two minutes
time, at broad noon, aud on the most public
street and block in the city. When Mr.. Thor
ington recovered sufficiently to be able TO crawl
TO the door, he opened it and attracted the at
tention of some person, though unable TO speak
and fell back upon the floor. The news flew ov-
er the townlike wild fire, and a great crowd of
persons assembled and sent out parties in pur-
suit in every direction.
reward of $500 was offered, halfby the may
or and half by Mr. Parker, for the apprehension
of the men. As soon as Mr.. Thorington recov-
cred sufficiently to enable him to speak he de-
scribed them as follows: One large man with
heavy sandy whiskcrs, black oyercoat, gold fob
chain, and wool hat The other slim man.
black hair, no whiskers black clothes, black
moleskin hat.
The struggle with Mr. Thorington mus. have
been desperate one, and were it not for the
firm grasp upon his throat he could have pre-
vented the robbery. Piles of gold, papers, port
folios, and broken inkstands, strewed over the
floor attested the ierceness of the fight. Mr.,
7. is severely, though not dangerously injured,
his throat being badly and his head considerably
bruised.
1t IS supposed the robbers obtained between
$1,000 and $4,000.
