A Dashimg Thief.

At the Lafayette Bank yesterday
afternoon, George II. Rennekamp, q
commission broker doing business at
No. 3 Main street, was robbed OF $3.50 by
a well-planned maneuver on the part OF
three highwaymen. Mr.. Rennekamp had
visited the bank for the purpose OF
making deposit Of $310.
While waiting to get the attention OF
the cashier, three men entered the bank
and ranged themselves on either side OF
him. Soon after one Of the men eau
tiously drew the roll containing the
greenbacks ($250) from beneath large
Adams Express envelope, with $50 in
silver, and two OF the scoundrels hur-
ried away.
Missing his treasure Mr.. Rennekamp
Immediately collared the third man, who
was about TO move out the door, and
after little trouble succeeded in land
| ing him in the Hammond-street Station
| house, where he gave the name OF Sam
uel Morton. No money was found upon
him. He declared that the oIher men

The prisoner was soon after identified
| by the teller of Meter u Season
goods bank as the man who played the
same game at his bank about year ago,
In which Mr.. John Greasbaum, of No. 7
Bank street. was victImized out OF $500.
The prisoner, Morton, whose real
name is Perry, and very respectfully
connected in this city, is regarded by the
detectives here as one of the shrewdest
bank "workers" in she country. He has
already operated quite extensively in
England. AT present he is locked up at
