“MODEL YOUNG MAN” CONFESSES William Ragan Returns To Home Town to Rob Bank; Later Confesses Fisher, 111,, Nov. 12. — (U.R) Home to the little town where he was born and trudged to grammar school came “Billy" Ragan today, while news ot his asserted confession to an attempt to rob the Fisher State hank buzzed among the 700 men, women and children who live here. As William S. Ragan, superintendent of the Chicago branch plant of the Linde Air Products company at a salary of more than S4OO a month, the former Fisher boy was looked up to as a model of what an industrious young man can accomplish by the time he is 36. With him was his wife, Mrs. IVfadge Ragan, mother of their three children, , suspected at first of being the woman who wen: to the bank last Friday ; morning and asked questions about | the town shortly before Ragan pushed a gun through the grill and demanded the bank's money of Miss Cecile E.

"1 must have been drunk. I'm in too much pain to tell you any more now." Folks in Fisher who knew “Billy" Ragan as a boy could not conceive why he would come here to rob, perhaps to shoot lhem. Officials of the Linde Air Producis company, by whom Ragan had been employed for 12 years, were equally amazed. They said he was an efficient and trusted employe and was in line to rece've an increase in salary soon. That Ragan had taken $1,300 of the firm’s money, later repaying it, was revealed in his confession. Ragan sought to exonerate his wife of blame. He said he had left her at Danville, 111., at the home of a sister and driven on to Fisher Friday. He got her Friday evening and- they went back to Chicago without his wife learning he had been shot, he said. Authorities were inclined to accept that us true. Suspicion was directed toward Ragan as the result of a forty-inile pursuit
