The messenger was informed by' the lady that she knew nothing of the person in question. * He was going downstairs, when two men jumped out from a dark corner of the unlighted staircase and throwing a handful of pepper into his face tem- j porarily blinded" him. They then knocked him down and, snatching his wallet, ! dashed downstairs and escaped. j
