Hudson, Of the Eighth precinct, who. while
patrolling their beat On Broadway in COM
pany, heard means and cries of frightfhl
nature emanating from the premises of the
Manufacturers' and Merchants Bank, Nos
56l and 563 broadway. They instantly
battered in the doors Of the place and en-
tered. Here they were met by young
lady who informed them in nervous man
ner and with tears, that somebody had
sheen killing her father,n and that "hewas
lying in the bank" The officers immedi-

weddings extending to the ground beneath,
that assured them the attempted murderers
and thieves had escaped while they were
forcing an entrance lnto the, 'front.' OF the
building. They then turned their attention
to the wounded janitor, and apprised
Surgeon Armstrong Of his condition, when
