Arrest of tho williamsburg
Vampire.

Tho Williamsburg girl stabbcr has
been caught. We quote from the
Now York Globe Of Monday:
1t was stated in the fourth edition
of the Globe Of Friday that twenty.
ono policemon had, by orders Of their
superior officers, donnod women's
clothes, and then walked along she
streets whore the vampire, as he has
boon called, commits tho most of his
terrible crimes. Their we'll managed
plan and vigilance have been reward.
cd with success, for on Saturday
night at eleven o'clock, officer Tom
Taggart, belonging to the station on
Fourth street, between North First
and North Second streets, in compa
ny with another officer was walking
quietly along, both of whom were
drapod in women's clothes with long
waterproof cloaks covering their
bodies, and with green wells covering
their faces, Taggart being somo dis
tance ahead Of tho other, Is had been
previously arranged, whom suddonly
the dreadful VAMPIRE dartej out
from ., projecting wall, and, unob
served by tho officer, was stealing
cautiously up behind him, when the
officer behind, observing his move.
monts, raped on the pavement with
his club. Taggart of course turned
around, just in time to save his life,
perhaps, as the vampire, with o long
stillctto cleaning ID tho starlight,
was about to plunge it into tho dis.
gniscd officers back. Taggart quick
" sprang to one side, and as quick
rs lightning struck with his club the
arm Of this sanguinary monstor.-
The torco of tho blow was 80 great
that tho monsters arm was broken
ncar Tho elbow. The other officer
then ran up, and tho two together,
with a great dcal of difficulty, took
the scoundrel to tho station house.
Tho vampire fought them oil the
way, kicking and fighting the off,
GERS like tiger, notwithstanding his
broken arm. Upon questioning the
human fond at the station-house, he
refused to give his name or his resi-
dencc. All that he would state was
that he was determined to have his
revenge upon tho sex for the shame
full manner in which he had been
Tilted by u girl who had promised to
marry him. Tho officers think that
no is doranged, on account Of his
disappointment in love, and that his
insanity took the form Of tho terri
bio revenge upon the whole sex
which has terrified tho whole of
Williamsburg for 80 long time.
Gradually numerous other persons,
mostly girls from IL to 20 years,
wero found who have boon stabbed
by this man, or some other person
similarly disposed. The schools are
nearly deserted as fow parents are
willing to trust their daughters in
tho public streets long enough to 60
to school, unlcss they accompanied
them.
