Bold BANK ROBBERY IN lLLlHoio-R ~
HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS STOLEN
Quincy, H., was the scene Of bank robbery
on the night Of the 18th instant, the Skill,
GOODNESS, and large booty of which will place
its perpetrators high in the profession OF
bank robbers. From the account given
there can be no doubt that the robbers were
at work in the bank building for several
DAYS removing the brick work over tile
vallt. The First National Bank is on the
main street of the city, and within block
of police headquarters; but no one, eIther
of the citizens or the public guardians so
close ut hand, heard the explosion when the
safe was blown open.
THE norter, on going to the bank on the
following morning, discovered the ceiling
and walls near the vault badly shattered, and
bricks shaken from their places. lnycstlga-
ton was at once made. 1t being impossible
to unlock the vault door, an exploration was
made In the second story, where an opening
was found in the hall floor, through which
the burglars had descended on the top OF
the vault.
Further examination showed that hole
over three feet square had been drilled
through three feet Of solid masonry, ana a
pIate OF boileriron two feet square cut froE'
| the lining Of the vault with chilled chisels.
| This done, access was obtained to the lnte-
rior of the vault where were two safes, one
containing the money and special deposits OF
| the bank, and the other Government bonds
and valuable papers. The money safe was
found with the doors blown Gil their
hinges and depleted of all its cor
tents save bag Of gold. There were
| in it $4,000 in currency belonging
to the bank, 100000 in Adams county
bonds. worth par, and special deposits oil
grccnbackS and Government bonds. bringing
the sum total up to 100000. The other
safe, containing valuable papers and bonus,
was also charged with powder and olaSted,
| but did not yield. and IFS contents, although
showing the marks Of powder, are sale. In
| the vault were found the tools employed by
| the burglars. The kit was elaborate ana OF
the most modern invention. The cashier
SAYS the currency and deposits taken from
the bank would make a wagonload.
In tie bank at tie time of the robbery
was galyauic-battery alarm connected Win
all the windows and doors, and leading INTO
the vault. So nicely Gid the cracksmen 10
their work, however, that they not only
guarded against it, but also raised the W in
dows to save them from the effects OF the
coLc,lSSion. To get away with the SpolIs 1t
vas necessary to let one OF their number
down into the vault by rope several times,
aud raise him up with the booty.
Twenty thousand dollars is offered by the
bank for the recovery Of the stolen pro-

road, about ten miles from Lynchbure, and
demanded admittance. Mr.. Lane RESPONDED
to the summons, and wien he made his ap
pearance was made n prisoner and marched
off some distance from the house, while the
others proceeded TO search the ho,lse In quest
of money and other valuables. While this
was going on a little son of Mr.. Lane made
his escape, and running to the residence OF
Mir. Williams, near by. gave the alarm.
DIR. Williams and another gentleman
armed themselves and started to Mr..
Lanes house. When they entered the
burglars were In the third story. The gen.
tlemcn boldly advanced on them, and the
burglars broke and started to run by. They
were fired upon, and one Of them, giving
the name of Charles Trent, fell, and was
unable to make his escape. The others beat
hasty retreat, including those who had
been standing guard over Mr.. Lane. Trents
wound was examined, and it was ascer-
tanned that the ball had entered the stomach,
producing what 1t is expected will prove
mortal wound.
IN correspondent 1uinlSUtu ttS wv az
ncNed account Of the above affair:
When aroused, the family, with the eN-
ception Of Mr.. Lane, who was under arrest
by the burglars, fled through the back door
10 the house Of a neishboripg colored man
named Robert jackson, with whom they
hurried to the residence Of Mr.. Lewis Will
hams, where they were joined by Mr.. Will
liamSs Youngest son, Warren Williams, and
colored employe on the place. The party
returned TO the house of Mr.. Lane, and not
finding the wou!d-be robbers on the first
floor MIR. Warren Williams proposed
that they search the upper one. I'm.
mediately upon this suggestion the
four men appeared upon the stairway,
whereupon young Williams raised his gun
and fired, the load taking effect in the left
side of q man named Charles Trent, who re-
sides in sight Of Lanes house. The body
of the wounded man was lift lying where
il fell until Yesterday morning, when DR..
Straton, of Campbell Courthouse, who was
called in, pronounced the wound fatal. At
present writing Williams was not arrested.
II is stated that young lady living IN
Mr.. Lanes family had recently come into
possession of about 5000, and it is supposed
the robbers had gotten wind of this aud
were searching for it. Fortunately, the
money had been brought to the city last
week and deposited in one of our banks.
