his revolver. Douglas turned quickly
and fired two shots at the cashier,
neither of which took effect. By this
time it was getting very warm for
Henry behind the counter, and he threw
the valise to his pal,
LEAPED OVER THE RAIL,
and started to run. Citizens who had
heard the shots and shooting were be-
ginning to rush toward the bank, and
Douglass lost his head and ran into the
presidents Office, mistaking the door
for that leading into the street. He
found the outside door locked, and in
stantly jumped through the window,
taking glass and sash with him. He
struck the ground with his smoking re-
volver in his hand, and ran down Third
street to the end of the building, and
dashed into the alley, where he was
pursued by several citizens. At the
back of the Big Boston
HE WAS CAPTURED
with his plumber by II. Herrick, a
liveryman. Sheriff Eye and License
Inspector Ray, who happened that way,
were entrusted with the valise and
turned it over to the bank officials, TAX
ing the young desperate to the lookup.
Young Henry ran out of the front door
of the bank and up Second avenue, fol-
lowed by citizens on foot ana in car
riages. He went down Fifth street to
Third avenue and up to Sixth street
through an alley. On Sixth street be-
tween Third and Fourth avenue south,
he was surrounded by crowd and de-
tained until Officer John Malonev, re-
turning from his dinner. came along,
appropriated the youths gun and
started him off to the lookup. At the
police station the two boys were put IN
caoarate cells and
BOTH ADMITTED THEIR CRIME,
there being, indeed, no other course for
them, as they had been caught ''dead to
rights" Fred Douglass is about twenty
one years of age. and is well-known to
the police, although they have
never had any occasion to
suspect him of wrong-doing. He
has been in Minneapolis for some time,
and has been employed at Cardiff &
Donaldson's, Lally Brcs.', and other
saloons about town. In talking of his
crime after his arrest, he told the police
that it was his first, and that he had not
expe cted to be obliged to shoot, and
would not but for the entrance of Hal
lerman. He said they had expected to
get about $4,000.
JAMES HENRY,
whose real name is said to be Frank
Thornton, is a pleasant-faced boy,
eighteen or nineteen years of age, with
dark hair and eyes, and very bright,
energetic look IN his face. He is
waiter, and has been employed as
such in several restaurants in
town, but has worked more
in st. Paul than here. There
seems to be nothing of the desperate in
his face or his character, and he told the
police that he had refused to accept
other chances of standing in with rob-
berries. The boys had planned this one
carefully, however, and concluded that
they had a good chance of getting away
with the Doodle. Henry, or Thornton,
thinks they might have done so if they
had drunk less whisky in getting up
their nerve for the deed.
ARRAIGNED IN COURT.
The youthful robbers were arraigned
before Judge Emery early in the after
noon and said they desired an examina-
ton in the municipal court. The hear
ing was set for 4:30 and at that hour the
boys were brought up. but they had
changed their minds in the meantime
and were allowed to wave examination
and were held to the grand jury in S10,-
600 each. Douglas is not known to
have any relatives here, but young
Thornton's brother works in st. Paul
and he is said to have sister here.
