ALADY,s PURSE sNATCHED.
Miss LecIsie Is Robbed When ABOUT
In Tnise n Train.

one of the boldest robberies on record
was committed al the Eighth-Street Ches-
speake and Ohio Depot yesterday morn
ing.
The victim was Miss Virginia Leckie,
who was unprotected by an escort at the
time The perpetrator of the deed was
stealthly negro.
The robbery was effected In a most
unique way Near the depot Of the James,
River Division OF the Chesapeake and
Ohio railroad is a high latticed fence
Passengers going 10 this depot from one
direction walk close beside this fence.
Miss Leckie went to the depot yesterday
TO take the 1870 train for Scottsville end
Glendower, her country home. She pass
ed close to this fence. As ladies often do
she carried her pocket-boolI in her hand
The eye of a negro was on her. He saw
the pocket-book and followed her He was
on the other side Of the fence, and so She
took no notice Of him. She was hurryinS
along.
SNATCHED HER PURSE.
Suddenly a black hand like a black
viper stretched its length between the
palings. In another instant the purse was
gone 1t had changed hands. The negro
who now had Il was running as hard as
he could from the fence.
Miss Leckie was powerless. fence
higher than her head was between them.
She cried for help and tried to point out
the culprit to those at the depot, but
could not gain their attention until 1t was
too late The fellow had disappeared.
The purse contained a ticket 10 Louis
vile, Ky, valuable papers amounting 10
$500, and SIG in currency.
Miss Leckle gave the alarm at the de-
pot. Search then by citizens was use
less. Colonel Archer and Captain Frank
Cunningham were at the depot. They did
all they could for her. Persons about
the depot sympathized with her deeply.
They showed their sympathy in sub
stantial way, too, by raising a fund and
getting her ticket to Sco;tsville, her
destination. Captain Cunningham went
up TO Scottsville with her.
THE POLICE NOTIFIED.
It was after she reached Scottsville
that she wrote a letter 10 her cousin,
Captain A. y. Splitter, of this city, ask
ing him TO notify the police. Captain
Splitter received the letter about +. NJ.
He at once sent for Sergeant A. NJ. Tom
linson. chief Of detectives. Sergeant
Tomlinson said to Captain Splitter that
he was quite sure the man was a Nor
folk negro, who has been loafinS around
here. Later he put the case in the hands
Of Sergeant John Hall. He expressed the
belief that the negro would soon be in
hand.
Miss Leckle had been the guest OF Cap
tain Splitter. She is in charge Of DIR.
