him. Mr.. Bray also says that as he
has been prosecuted in this manner

A Curious Story.

A young man named Purdy was
found before daylight yesterday
morning, bound hand and foot, on
the roof If Dickeys drug store, at
Milton, N. Y, with some pieces of
money lying around him. He claimed
that he bad been cloroformed and
did not know how he got there. AS
the drug store had been robbed, it is
believed by some that he committed
the act. The amount stolen is small.
Some of the villagers claim to have
seen him standing on the roof united
after the alarm had been given, and
Mr.. Dickey recnnized him as a per-
son whom he saw in the store while
passing the window. Purdy says
that he was sitting on the stoop
