Inthesuburbs three negroes stepped out and drawing pistols demanded his money, Town was scared so badly he could do uothing and the robbers went throngh his poekets and got $22 05, Then they drew razors and literally cut Towne’s clothing to pieces, Across the breast and the back his coat was made into carpet rage and around the collar a few flourishes were made, evideutly to see how close they could come to the man’s neck without cutting his throat. When they had tired of this the head, and while in this position they proceeded to take off his shoes, which one of them was going to wear.
