Two Women Have a Startling Ex-
perience Near birmingham.
Birmingham, Ala, Jan. 26.-This after
noon at ? o'clock, while coming to the
city in their buggy, Mrs. Letcher and Miss
Moncrief of Ensley City were stopped by
a highwayman at the state fair grounds,
four miles from the city, and forced to
surrender their cash and valuables to him.
He carried pistol but did not attempt to
use it,
The highwayman was a white man, but
had blackened his face. He compelled the
women to pull Off their gloves, took them
and turned them the wrong side out,
took their handkerchiefs, purses, lap robe,
etc. Then he made them get out of the
buggy whereupon he took out the seat
and examined the buggy closely for any
thing that might be secreted about It.
After satisfying himself that they had
nothing more of value, he told
them to move on. Coming to
this city they reported the mat
ter to Sheriff Morrow and he took two
deputies and went in search of the robber.
A man named Goodwin came to the city
to get money to pay off some work hands
and in returning he would have to pass the
spot where the women were robbed, and
it is believed the highwayman was wait
ing for him and only robbed the women for
amusement. The robbery occurred at the
place where a merchant named Thornton
was robbed and killed before the holidays.
