LONDON HIGHWAYMEN.
ROBBING A CASHIER As he stepped out of a motor-car in Seagrave Road, Fulham, London, about 10 p.m. one recent night, Mr Stanley Barnes, a cashier, was attacked and robbed of a satchel containing f £2so, by two highwaymen. One of his assadants masked his features by holding a handkerchief over the lower part of his face. The attack took place in one of the loneliest parts of Fulham. The driver of the ear was told to put his hands up, and the highwaymen threatened to use a revolver. The other miscreant closed the door of the car as the cashier stepped out. Immediately afterwards he struck the cashier a blow on the head with a heavy instrument. Mr Barnes reeled, bleeding, into a doorway. It was all over in a moment, and the two highwaymen had disappeared with the money before the driver realised what had happened. Mr Barnes was picked up unconscious and taken to West London Hospital. A paasor-by saw the attack, which was carried out with lightning rapidity. Tho attackers grabbed the bag and disappeared down a tide street. The pas-ser-by raised the alarm.
