According to Hills story he was
walking on the railroad and met Ryle.
He gave Ryle drink OF whisky and
they walked along for a short distance
when the latter suddenly grabbed his
coat tails, pulled them over his head
and in this manner held his arms
helpless until Hill was completely ex-
hausted Hill was thrown to the

Ryle is alleged to have rifled his pock-

Ryle, it is said, then made his get
away, but was followed by Hill, who
saw him enter his fathers home ON
Fourteenth and North III streets The
case was reported to Patrolman Bundy
by Hill, and Bundy. in company with
Officer Edwards, went to the Ryle
home. Bundy stationed himself at
the front door while Edwards went to
the rear door. After about twenty
minutes of continual knocking at the
front door, Ryle made dash out of
the rear door in his underclothing and
ran into the arms of Edwards. While
the negro was dressing one of the Of
ficers searched the house and found
Hills pocketbook underneath a bed

city Jail about o'clock.
The police maintain they have es-
tablished an excellent case against
Ryle and conviction for highway rob-
berry means term of from two to
fourteen years in the penitentiary.
The police say that the accused has
a long police court record, having
on a number of occasions been con.
victed or assault and battery.
Ryle is little larger. possibly not
any heavier, than Hill and the police
are somewhat mystified as to how the
negro could have SO completely over
powered Hill. The latter is from the
East and has been employed in the
construction of brick stack at the
American Seeding Machine Company S
plant.

a success and attended by no less than
$500 persons. West Richmond citi-
