The story of an unusually bold attempt at
bank robbery in Jersey has reached this city.
Between / and o'clock yesterday tall,
handsome man. with wealth Of hair falling
about his shoulders, big sombrero perched
on the back Of his head, and smoking cigar,
walked quietly into the counting room Of the
New Jersey Oil Company at No. 10 Liberty
street. Newark. Drawing two reyolyeTs he
leyelled them al the heads Of Charles Chiches-
ter and William Parsons, two bookkeepers,
who we're alone in the Office at the time.
Il want you TO hand out all the money there
is in the safe" said the intruder Mr. Chi
chester with rare GOODNESS, told the stranger
TO help himself, and spoke in a very loud
voice in the hope that he would attract the
attention of Manager o. W. Young. who was
talking over business matters with young
man in his private Office on the second floor.
The intruder pushed open the little door
in the iron railing that divided the Office, and
covering the bookkeepers with one of tho re-
volvers tried the door of the safe FOrtu-
nately.t had been locked about half an hour
before by clerk who had gone to the bank
with deposit. Thus bafiled the thief turned
TO Mr. Chichester and demanding his money,
said. How much have your"
Drawing out handful OF small change
from his trousers pocket Mr. Chichester ex-
tended his hand and said: Here il is" Then
he put the money back in his pocket, the
robber having made no movement TO take it,
probably because the amount WAS so small.
The stranger then opened two or three
drawers but before he could reach the money
drawer, he heard Mr.. Young walking along
the floor overhead toward the stairs
The robber darted toward the door by
which no had entered. but it had caught with
spring latch, and not knowing how to open
it. be turned back and jumped through win
dow into Liberty street. Mr.. Young reached
the foot of the stairs just in time to see the
man run along the street in the direction of
Walnut street. He escaped.
