Dragging AND ROBBERY 60 ahead
young townsman, Mr.. Charles ". Honsell vi
sited New York some ten days since for the
purpose of purchasing stock of goods. After
having completed his purchases, he started to
the boat connected with the Jersey railroad. -
Arriving little Ia advance Of the boats start
ing, he went into restaurant, partook OF o
snack and then took passage. At the landing
on the other shore, feeling unWell, he went into
saloon and called for glass of brandy, drink
ing which he took seat in the car. La lew
moments, he was taken violently sick and had
to be left at Newark, where he was placed by
the conductor iD charge of one OF the depot
employees. At this point a stranger sympa-
thizingly O. volunteered his services, and Mr..
Fl. was taken to q hotel. A moment after
reaching his room he discovered that his
watch, valued at $50, had been cut from his
vest chain and stolen, and that his pockets had
been rihed of SIS or more in loose CHANGE
Search was made for the stranger but be could
not be found. Shortly after being carried into
the hotel, Mr.. Hensell became entirely uncon-
scious, and remained so more than fifteen hours.
Physicians gave it as their decided opinion that
he had been dragged; and the supposition is
that the stranger was party to the crime,
and had followed his victim with the intention
of relieving him OF MS valuables, when the
drug had worked its designed effects. Mr.
HenselI is once more at home, and nearly res
tored to his usual good health. He had on bis
person 81, 100 which escaped the observation
