NEW YORK, June 13-The alertness
of an elderly bank messenger, who pur-
sued six holdup men down the stair
way of an uptown Manhattan elevated
station and felled one of them with a
revolver shot, frustrated a daring at
tempt at daylight robbery here today.
The robber who was shot was fleeing
with bag ss.d to have contained
100000 in securities taken from David
Ryan, the messenger who did the shoot
ing, and Henry Boylan, employees of
the Colonial bank, who were taking
the funds to the Federal Reserve bank.
The robbers had put Boylan out of
business by pressing a wad OF cotton
saturated with chloroform to his, face,
while Ryan was stunned with blow
from a blackjack. However, as the
thugs ran toward the street Ryan fol-
lowed them aud fired four shots at
the group. The man with the bag col
lspsed, releasing his hold on it, and
while his companions were carrying
him to a waiting automobile Ryan re-
trieved the valuables. ..
The holdup occurred at 81st street
and Columbus avenue and the robbers
made off in a green touring car, from
which the license plate had been re-
moved.
