Apt 11 2-—(Special to Daily Democrat) —Two men dead, one wounded, four under arrest, a sum believed to be 1142,000 missing, a stolen automobile wrecked and overturned —such was the aftermath of one of the boldest and most carefully planned payroll robberies in Montreal's history. Between six and twelve Itundits took part in the holdup- The body of one of them was abandoned by his companions in the overturned car. The payroll automobile of the Banque D'ochelaga was entering a ‘unnel under the Canadian Pacific railroad tracks yesterday when its way was blocked by a stalled automobile. Another swung across the road behind. Six bandits jumped out and commanded the bank messenger and driver to throw up their hands. When the latter resisted they were shot down and the payrolls in the car taken. Before he fell, the musenger killed one bandit. The police are holding the four suspects incommunicado. The dead bandit proved to have a long criminal , • record. He was Harry Stone. 'RALSTON BOOM LAUNCHED TODAY 11 • Organized Effort Begun To Effect Nomination Os Indiana Senator Indianapolis.

Staff Correspondent) Washington, April 2. —An improvised national investigating agency hat been built up to run down evidence for the senate oil scandal committee. It is through this agency that Sen ator Walsh expects lo produce proof that there was conspiracy to lease the naval oil reserve as far back as the 1920 republican national convention. Here is the way the new investigat ing agency works, as Walsh describ ed-it today to the United Press: "We receive scores of letters each <lay—some from inmates of insane asylums and some from patriotic citizens who have evidence bearing upon our Inquiry. Heretofore we have had no method of finding out just what these witnesses would testify. “A man writes that some prominent man told him there was a conspiracy at the last republican convention. W have to subpoena both men. sometimes half way across the continent and bear the expenses of their visit And when they get to the stand sometimes they do not tell the story 1 ex pe< t or after consultation I learn that they have no direct evidence, only rumors. •'Through this new arrangement. 1 can obtain someone In pra< tically every city in the United States to g<to see the man who writes me and find out just exactly what is to be tes tlfied.'' George White, former chairman of the democratic national committee, is expected to testify today. Walsh also expects to consult another "surprise'' witness before the hearing starts, and he may be put on the stand. — ■ o— Never Did Pay War doesn't pay and It Is now generally admitted that Alexander the Great and Napoleon were victims of NEW VIRK MAN (Continued from Pago One* Stone will return to Washington as ter putting his personal affairs in New York la- shape and take over th' duties of the department of justice Liberal In Hia Views Stone h known as a liberal man in his views.
