BANK OFFICIALS SHOT BY BANDIT

Daring Hold-Up at New Albany, Ind., Institution. CASHIER KILLED IN HIS CADE President of the Bank Also Shot After 5 Being Ordered to Throw Up His Hands—Robber Attempts to Escape In Boat Across Ohio River Had Pressed Auto and Chauffeur Into Service and Wounds the Later After Leaving Bank. Louisville, Nov. 12. —J. Garry Fawcett, cashier of the Merchants’ National bank in New Albany, Ind., was shot and killed and President J. K. Woodward of the same institution was seriously wounded by an unidentified man who entered the bank and attempted to hold up the officials and their assistants. The slayer is a prisoner. The man went to New' Albany in an automobile, the property of Mrs. Walter Escott, a resident of one of the most fashionable districts of Louisville. The chauffeur, James R. Tucker, a negro, who was arrested, says the bandit took possession of the automobile at it stood in front of Mrs. Escott’s residence and forced him, at the point of a revolver, to drive him to New Albany. The man entered the bank by a rear door, a revolver in each hand. He gave the single command: “Hands up, everybody; get into the vault.” Makes No Attempt to Take Money. President Woodward advanced toward the robber and attempted to talk to him, or, if possible, capture the man'

The robber’s response to Woodward’s question as to what was wanted was two shots, which struck the official in the arms and stomach. Fawcett rushed forward, but before he could reach the fallen president the cashier was shot in the neck and breast, dying a short time afterward. The robber without attempting to take any money walked quickly out the front door, dropping one of his revolvers outside the bank building. He jumped into the rear seat of the auto with the command to the negro: “Get out of this as fast as you can.” But the automobile stood still, the negro, thoroughly frightened at the course of events, refusing to move. The robber jumped to the ground, drew a revolver and sent a bullet into the negro’s back. An instant later the assassin was running at top speed down the bank to the Ohio, where he jumped into a skiff. Saved From Violence by Ruse. One old sailor with stentorian voice roared up and down the bank: “Catch that fellow; he’s killed a man!” The police in a motor boat, kept In readiness for just such emergencies, distanced all followers and soon had the fugitive in custody. At the dock in New Albany about 200 men. bent on violence to the prisoner, had gathered. Captain Davis of the New Albany police was equal to the occasion, and ordered the bandit to He down. The apparently unconscious form of the prisoner was carried from the boat and in a jiffy -was resting on the bottom of the patrol wagon. With bis foot on the captive’s neck, Captain Davis addressed the persons who were noisily demanding vengeance. “The man is dead; we saw him take poison just as we nabbed him,” said the policeman. And to the driver: "Go ahead.” The patrol wagon drew away from the threatening crowd, which, however, soon reassembled at the jail, making it necessary to remove the prisoner in an automobile to the Jeffersonville penitentiary, five miles away.

DENIAL BY MORSE JURO[??]

They Say They Had One Drink Only During Coney Island Jaunt. New York, Nov. 12. —Charles F. Shirk denies Attorney Martin W. Littleton’s charge that he was incompetent as a juror when he voted that Charles W. Morse was guilty of violating the banking laws. Shirk is charged With having “the jumps” while the Jury was deliberating. Doctors says “the jumps” is a disorder due to overstimulation. Other members of the Morse jury say the accusation that quantities of liquor were consumed Is “grossly exaggerated.” They say that on a trip to Coney Island during the trial only one case was visited and only one drink enjoyed.

FEAR FOR MRS. IDA FLAGLER

Multimillionaire’s Divorced Wife Hurt Badly In Auto Mishap. Central Valley, N. Y., Nov. 12. —Mrs. Ida A. Shourds Flagler, divorced wife of Henry M. Flagler, multimillionaire. Standard Oil magnate and Florida railroad builder: Dr. Carlos F. MacDonald, the noted alienist; the doctor’s chauf

MRS. IDA A. FLAGLER.

feur and Mrs Flagler’s maid are under the care of physicians at Dr. MacDonald’s private sanitarium here, suffering from injuries they received in an automobile crash. Fears are expressed that Mrs. Flagler might suffer permanent!} from the experience. Dr. MacDonald has a sanitarium where Mrs. Flagler has been a patient for some time. She was divorced by her husband on Aug. 14, 1901. at Miami, Fla. That was four years after she had been committed to the MacDonald sanitarium at Pleasantville. She had been declared legally insane on Aug. 5, 1899. On Aug. 22, eight days after he got his divorce, Flagler married Miss Lilly Keenan of Keenansville, at Wilmington, N. C. Mrs. Ida Flagler’s delusions are pathetic. She fancies sometimes that she is Queen Catherine 11. of Russia, and at other times she is Josephine in the heydey of her life at Malinaison.
