robbed. He lives in the northwestern
part of the city and few nights age
was on his way home at late hour
His recollection of what suddenly &C.
Cured is vague, but he believes he was
sandbagged. When he recovered, his
pockets were turned inside out and his
money, amounting to SIS, was gone
This fact, together with the more pain
full one of sore and broken head, is
the basis of the sandbag theory. He
saw no one at any time, but believes hs
was approached from behind or else
his assailant was concealed behind 8
