Chain in Ninth-ave.

While the conductor of Ninth-ave. surface

way through a densely packed crowd OF pas
sengers, four youths wearing slouch hats
boarded the car at Twenty-third-st. and del1n-
erateIy robbed a well dressed passenger OF MS
gold watch and chain.
They took full possession of the platform IN
such way that all passengers getting aboard
on the north side of Twenty-third-st. had 10
pass them. The first to get on was the man
who was robbed. As he stepped on the plat
form the four youths surrounded him, prevent
ing him from going inside the car or getting OF
the platform. They jostled him around and' IN
spite of his protestations, held him. TO ado 10
their convenience the lights in the car went out
The passenger being held up apparently thought
the young men were jesting, for he did nor seem
TO be angry at first. Then his patience gave
way and he said a few things, and rushed his
way through the group of four and into the car
Then he found that his watch, chain ana
wallet were gone The wallet had nothing IN IT,
he said but papers of no value to any one puI
himself. ;.
