This was his customary route from the market to the bank and appar- ently he had been watched for some time, As he passed No. 330 East One Hundred and Bixth Street two men who had been lounging in a doorway stepped behind him and one struck him a terrific blow over the side of the head, cutting a deep gash four inches long.
