ST. PAUL, Sept. 24.--[Special. 1.-TWO
Cinnamon were arrested by detective in
this city today upon alighting from the
! naha express train. They are wanted
Tor robbing the First national bank Of The
Dalles, Or, of $4,000 The names Of the
Cinnamon, IS given by the Spokesman, Spo-
kane. are Wing shoe and Gee Wham. They
were quite indignant at being arrested, and
claimed to be cousins travelling East to
meet relatives Gee said he had been en-
pioyed IN mining camp eighty miles from
Portland. The couple were turned over to
tho police. pending the arrival Of further
Information concerning the affair.
The robbery was very daring and In
genious one, committed on the night Of
September Is. Suspicion was directed
toward clique of Cinnamon. Some
arrests followed, and part of the money
was found. The authorities having got on
the track Of those arrested in St. Paul.
their coming was awaited by Detective
Mason.
The Cinnamon were searched and four
large knives were found in their possession.
On the blades OF the knives some sandy
soil adhered. which is plain evidence that
the men were engaged in making the un-
derground passage by means Of which the
robbery was committed.
The detective agency this afternoon re-
ceived kilograms from the Portland Office
saying the money had been recovered
($0.950). and one arrest made. It was also
stated that there were four Cinnamon con-
nected with the robbery. The bank officials
evidently do not desire to prosecute the
Cinnamon arrested here, as it is claimed it
would involve an expense of about 81 600 to
send men here to identity them and take
them back to Oregon. The desperadoes
will therefore be set at liberty.
The DALLEs, Or. Sept "a Officers last
night arrested three Cinnamon who are
suspected of being implicated in the recent
bank robbery. The Cinnamon had q. 400
when arrested. Some of the tunneling
showed evidence of Chinese work.

WHY VAN NoRMANN suIc1DED.

He Was Guilty or Nameiess Crime and
Feared Exposure.
LONDON, Sept. H.-[Special.]- IA shock
ing scandal is just now agitating military
and polite society in Berlin. On last
Tuesday morning Major Won Normann,
q most distinguished officer and
commandment Of a training school
for non-commissioned officers at Potts
dam and great favorite OF Kaizer Will
helm. was found dead in his quarters.
He had committed suicide by taking
poison and then opening the veins in his
arm.
1t was announced that the suicide was
due to pecuniary trouble, but the real
facts have since come to light and prove
Won Norman to have been . scoundrel
of the vilest character. He took
advantage of his power to indulge
habitualiy in unnatural vices similar TO
those which madeC Cleveland street infamous.
Exposure came when Won Normann at
tempted to assault q young nom
commissioned officer, who joined the
school only q week ago. The man
felled his superior officer to the ground
and then went to the officers mess, told
what had happened and surrendered him.
self. The officers Immediately held con-
ference, and finally sent the three
eldest captains to inform Won Norman
that as German officer against whom an
infamous crime could be proved. it was his
duty 80 shoot himself.
He made no attempt to deny the
charges. and promised to comply with
their demands in half-hour. The next
morning he was found dead.

General Butler also stated that be would

Lawyer Secor said that on the night
Stewart died Judge Hilton drew up petit

Both Judge Hilton and Mrs. Stewart, he
said, swore to an affidavit stating
that Stewart had not Q blood rela-

This affidavit, Mr.. Secor said. was false,

THE TRIAL OF BIRcHALI-


NOS very damaging Evt0enC0-Vhe Pub
lie Interest Intense.
WooDsrocR, Ont, Sept. "A. The Birchall
trial was continued this morning. The
prisoner slept we'll. and was up in time 10
perform his usual careful toilet before be-
ing called to face the judge and jury. He
was ready and waiting for the sheriff when
the latter arrived. 1t has been reported
that Birchall Is handcuffed on his way to
and from the Jail, but such is not the case.
He is the quietest and most easy-going
prisoner any jailer ever had to deal with,
and he never complains or gives trouble in
any way. There was the usual great crowd
at the town hall to see him pass, and his
appearance was warmly criticized by many.
Birchall has raised in this community
two clearly-deined parties, one in
his favor and the other against him. The
latter party are more numerous and are
having pretty much their own way during
the presentation Of the case for the prose-
cution, but the prisoners friends are stall
wart and convinced either that he l. lnno-
cent or that 1t will be impossible to prove
him guilty.
There was . great crowd in the court
room, including over 100 ladies. The pris-
oner's wife and sister-in-law were not pres
emit, Mrs. Birchall being too nervous and
III to stand the strain of watching the pro-
ceedings.
DR.. Taylor. the physician. called to see
Benwell's body when found in the swamp,
testified that the clothing was frozen to
the ground. It had lain there four or five
days. His examination showed that Ben
well died of wounds in the head SO located
that it could not have been case OF sui
eide.
In the afternoon Pelley was recalled, and
recognized Birchall's several letters, which
were put in evidence.
Grigg, the Princeton sexton, was ques-
toned as to the attempt, as he suspected.
to open the grave and steal Benwelps body.
He was unable to identify the persons
whom he frightened away.
Frank Pierce. teller in bank at Niagara
Falls. related how Birchall came into the
bank February "a, said he was an agent of
the British government, buying horses in
Canada. and deposited $l52. including
eleven English sovereigns. This point
the crown makes to connect with the
statement of Pelley, that Benwell, the muir
dered man. had q handful Of sovereigns
with him.
An important discovery was made by
detectives today. Birchall's attorney laid
great stress on the fact that IF. G. Benz
welP' registered at the Commercial hotel,
Brantford, on January Is. To-Day two
young men OF Brantford confessed that
they made the entry for joke. This ID
considered heavy blow on Birchall.
