Th blow stunned O Brien. and the miscreant followed th. first attack with another In the face, whldi knocked his victim senaeless.

O'Brien was known to have been In the habit of carry ing a large pocket book a few minute be fore the assault and at the time he waa struck had only a few dollars on his person.
