Reign of Terror Hits Attleboro as Highwaymen Strike
Attleboro and North Attleboro residents face a renewed spree of daylight and evening robberies led by a gang of highwaymen. The latest victim, William T. Haynes, a North Main Street dry goods merchant, was robbed after being struck and relieved of 125 dollars. Police suspect novices, as a rock used in the attack bears blood, while two witnesses recall looming figures but provide no clear descriptions. The town lacks strong police presence beyond two night watchmen, heightening fear of further incidents until arrests are made.
