ATTEMPTED kOBBRRf.-lnlS morning JOhn
Mcknight, the runner of the Bank of North
America, while making the regular collections
tor the bank, entered one of the cars of the
Fifth and Sixth Streets line at Chestnut street.
When the car had reached Commerce street a
man who had, been standing on the platform
attempted to pick Mr.. Meningitis pocket, by
making an assault upon him and throwing him
upon the floor of the car. There were three
passengers in the car at the time, neither of
whom nor the conductor attempted to inter-
fere, Mr.. Mcknight had in his inside coat
pocket memorandum book containing from
twenty to thirty thousand dollars in checks,
notes, coupons, etc. The robber was not able
to obtain possession of any of the money on
account of the precautions of the runner. On
finding that he was unsuccessful he escaped
while Mr.. Mcknight was getting upon his feet,
and was not stopped by any of those who had
witnessed the attempt.
