ARRESTED AGAIN ON A CHARGE OF HIGH
WAY ROBBERY. kH

AhhbSTED A9AlN On CHAHGE Of HIGH
WAY ROBBERY. ~
New York on Monday evening, Frank
Mccoy, alias Big Frank, was arrested,
charged with being the principal actor
in the highway robbery of c. Ii. Stone,
the cashier of Mr.. Hale, piano manufac-
turer. About 8 O'Clock Monday evening
Mccoy, dressed in the height of fashion,
was passing the Hotel Brunswick, when
Captain Williams, of the police force, who
was on the lookout for him, sprang upon
him and demanded his surrender.
Mccoy, with gre It quickness, tried to
spring away f,om the captain, who
drawing his revolver, placed it at his
prisoners head and threatened to blow
out his brains If he attempted to escape.
Ex-Assemblyman James Irving, who
was standing on the steps of the Hotel
Brunswick, on seeing Captain Williams
put a pistol to the head of one whom he
supposed was respectable man, jumped
forward and attempted to rescue Mccoy.
Captain Williams shouted to him to let
go, that the man he had in his custody
was a burglar. Ex-Assemblyman Irving
evidently doubling what the captain,
SAID, still interfered. At the moment,
while Captain Williams was fighting
both men, detectives Dunlap and
Schmittsburger ran up, and both men
were marched up to the lookup.
Big Frank is well-known character,
particularly in this State, he having
twice escaped from New Castle Jail,
where he was arrested for attempting to
rob the bank of Delaware, in this city, on
the night Of Nov. 7, 1873.

ROBBERY.

A few nights ago. Samuel Buck, who
is employed by Mr.. J. T. Cause, as a
private watchmau, discovered three men
looking around the grounds which ell
closes Mr.. Causes residence. Knowing
them to be there with no good purpose
he drew bis revolver, and order chem to
leave, which they did without further
ceremony. In the morning, 1t was dis
covered by some of The family that sew
eral articles had been stolen, wich con-
veys the opinion that while the three
men were walking around the grounds
others were in the house. The same
night the house Of Mr.. c. A. Rodney,
was also robbed of'a quantity of silver
ware.
