A HIGHWAYMAN CAPTURED.

The steamer Laura brought to this city yesterday
q party Of excursionists from Bridgeport, Conn.
Among them Mrs. Jennie Parsons and Mr.
Joseph Grambois who spent the day seeing the city
sights. During their rambles Mrs Parsons more
than once noticed young rough looking fellow,
who appeared to be following them. He had
a companion. about his own age, and once
they asked her what time it She
thought nothing of it at the time. Toward
evening she returned with her escort to the
pier at the foot of East Twenty street and
about to step on board the steamer when of the
young men whom she had noticed ran up to her,
seized her watch chain and endeavored to pull it and
the watch she wore away from her. She quickly
dropped her escorts arm and grappled with the bold
thief He succeeded. however, in breaking the chain
and running off with about half Of 1t to which
the watch attached. When half way up
the pier he was intercepted by Officer De-
any, of the Steamboat Squad There
crowd the pier at the time, and the thief must
have suffered considerably at their hands before the
officer got him to judge from the used up condition
in which he was when he appeared at Police Head
quarter, where he locked up. He gave his
name Edward Ryan and said he resided at No. AL
East Twenty second street. Nothing of
Ryan's companion after the attempted robbery
Mrs. Parsons gave as good description of him
she could. and the police the lookout for
him. Ryan looks to be about nineteen years old, is
well knit and unprepossessing in appearance.
