floor No Broadway seated in the saloon alone,
near one OF the windows the Princest SIDE He was
gently smoking the gas not beng lit in the apartment
although the street lamps partly relieved the gloom
While thus engaged unlocked the door leading
into the apartment This did not surprise him, as several
OF the persons connected with the place possess Key
Three entered the room, OF whOm walking over
to where Mr. MoTey sat, brandished knife before
his face and said : Don't move, or I'll stab You"
The room was too Idar distinguish the 9aces OF the
men, one of whom stood near the door, keeping guard
while second stood ready TO assist his comrade with
the knife The glitter Of the kieblade could be SEEM
however as the ruan held it poised ready TO strike at
the least indication Of shout for help from his victim
Thinking that plumber the object or the Nslt MI
Morey took from inside lbreastpocEet roll OF DIS
amounting to $500, and handed it to thief, telling MN 10
take it and begono withEhs companions This did not
satisfy them, however. Again tellinriMr Morey that

DEATH the robbers threw him the hoor ana gagged
and bound him securely They then took from an lsue
breastpocket, package containing S4Oo IN treasury
notes his gold watch and cbain and valuable diamond
pin and with their plumber made good their escape
short time after their departure Mr. Morey succeeded IN
releasing his hands from their confinement and removed

mad been given one of the seven keys carried by the pro
prietor Mr. Garvn the employees and few OF the ire
ouenters Of the place, they had procured iase Key
IL is moro than probable that some ono who knew lg
Mr. Morev was in the habit Of carrying large sum OF
money about him had acquainted tho thieves with tho
fact and had perhaps loaned key for tho purpose OF
admitting them into the room.
Capt. Jourdan questioned the officer on post, and an
old man, who keeps an apple stand on the corner oil
Prrce-st and Broadway with reference to the affair."
Both stated that they had seen three men hanging
around that vicinity in the early part Of the evening but
had thought nothing Of it, as is the custom OF many OF
those suspicious characters who inhabit the Eighth
Ward 10 frequent that ueghborhood in the evening TINS
robbery is one Of the boldes that has taken place in tbs
city for many years owing TO the darkness OF the room
Mrs Morey can Give but a very imperfect description Of
the thieves and the chances for thei apprehension are
very poor
