The Daily Dispatch: May 24, 1862., [Electronic resource], article 1 (search)
iers near John W. Frayser's store, on Seventeenth street, knocked down, choked, and robbed of a valuable hunting case gold watch and chain. One of the ruffians said, "Take him!" when another seized him around the neck, another around the leg, and the third completed the operation by pulling his watch from his person, leaving only the hook that secured it to his vest. One of the men put his foot on the face of Mr. B. and the concussion made a hole in his head. The noise alarmed a German woman living near by, who came to her door and raised an alarm, when the rascals walked off. Brockmeyer being prostrated from the effects of the attack, was assisted into the store of Mr. Frayser, who, after restoring him to some degree of consciousness, conveyed him home.

Mr. B. had over $200 in notes in his pockets, but the robbers did not stop to get it. Where were the watch?
