Grabs Satchel with 88,000.

Peter Woll, an aged and prominent manufacturer, was knocked down on the street in Philadelphia by a highwayman as he was leaving a national bank and a satchel containing SB,OOO was wrenched from his hand. The money was recovered by a policeman, who captured the thief after an exciting chase. The highwayman said his name was Joseph Edwards, but this is believed to be fictitious.
