W. M. Corry, Director State Bank of Quincy, Is touched Up by Pickpockets
    Passaic., N.J., May 20-- Because when he left his home in Quincy, Fla., several days ago, William M. Corry, a director of the Quincy State Bank, and a wealthy tobacco dealer, took with him some brand new Quincy State Bank notes, he recovered $165 taken from him today, and three men are locked up at police headquarters on a charge of robbery.
    "Mr. Corry came to Passaic today to attend the wedding of his son, Arthur Corry, and Miss Constance Walden. The ceremony took place at 4 o'clock. Mr. Corry went to the Erie railroad main station to take the 7:14 train for New York. As he was stepping onto a car, Policeman Charles Farrell saw a man reach in Mr. Corry's overcoat pocket and take out a wallet. The train was moving off, but Mr. Farrell sprinted and boarded it. In a smoking compartment he found the man whom he said took the wallet and put him under arrest. Farrell told Mr. Corry of the loss and Mr. Corry verified it. In the meanwhile, Farrell saw two men who had been loitering about the station platform with his prisoner jump from the rear of the train.
    At Passaic Park, Farrell and Corry got off the train with their prisoner. Farrell commandeered an automobile and started after a trolley car which had left Passaic for Hoboken. He overtook it five miles from Passaic and arrested two men who looked as if they were the ones he wanted.
    The three were taken to headquarters and searched. On the first prisoner nothing incriminating was found. But the second two, according to the police, had between them the $165 Mr. Corry had lost. None of the three had the wallet. Mr. Corry was able to identify the Quincy bank notes, especially one new $20 bill and two $10 bills with the series numbers with which he was familiar as director the bank which has issued them.
    The prisoners said they were John Courtney, Thomas Sullivan and James Howie, all of New York City, although Sullivan and Howie said when they were first arrested that they lived in Paterson. They will be arraigned tomorrow morning on a charge of larceny."
The above is from the New York Times and the many friends of Mr. Corry will be glad to know he recovered his money. Quincy people will also be interested in the marriage. Miss Walker is remembered here as a visitor and made many friends. The young couple will receive a cordial welcome upon their return home.
