Mcmahon did not 60 to work. Monday
morning telegram was received from the
country bank asking that the money be
forwarded. The messenger had not pre-
sented himself. Suspicious were aroused
and detectives were employed to hunt up
the missing man. He was traced to Can
ada, but the bank officials were powerless
to prosecute him. Last Tuesday Mcmahon
was arrested in New York, and on Thurs
day Mr.. Hamilton, the stage proprietor,

residing in South Brooklyn after leaving
the bank with the $4,000. He was
tempted, and it was the friend who
wrote the receipt in the book.

Mshon's uncle in Canada. The messenger
repented inside of eight hours, but his
friend laughed at him aud said that he
would be sent to Sing Sing sure ifhe went
back and surrendered the money. His
only hope WAS to keep the money and live
in Canada, where be could not be touched
His conscience troubled him good deal

sent to every banking institution In this
country and Canada by the bank, and be
immediately started for New York.

Saturday morning a tramp giving the
name Of 8. L. Baugbman, and his resi-
denoe as Hanover, York county. went into
the house Of William Brennemau, in York
township, while all the family was absent
excepting thirteen year old daughter.
He made desperate assault upon the girl
but her cries were SO loud as to attract the
attention OF her brother William, youth
aged II years who rushed to his sisters
assistance. The tramp quickly knocked
the boy down, but he escaped from the
house and rang the alarm ball. Neighbors
responded, and the girls assailant was
terribly thraahed and allowed to depart.
Later in the day he was arrested and
placed in Jail.
