THIS is the story of London's strangest “kidnap.” It happened at Islington, most densely populated area of London-hundreds saw it.

Two 19-years-old clerks, John Asbury and Frank Compton, left Myers's railway booking agency, Penton- ville-road, N., bound for the night safe at the Westminster Bank, 75 yards away, in Upper-street.

Asbury had £120-half the day's takings-in an envelope in his pocket.

As they walked along the crowded streets a man sidled up behind them, thrust what appeared to be a revolver into Asbury's back, and said: "Cross the road to that taxicab rank."

Asbury said afterwards: "I "We drove un to Highgate Tube asked the fellow what the Station, and then the man said, 'I'm dickens he thought he was do-going to stop the cab.
