bing a Bank.

VALPARAISO, Neb. April 2S.- Especial Tele-
gram to The BEE. "A representative of The
BEE obtained an interview with Jesse Ruby,
the would-he bank robber VINO was captured
here yesterday, and ascertaned the follow
ing: Ruby's home is eight miles south of
Greenwood, where he has been farming for
three years. He is unmarried and
has sister keeping house for
him. He appears like an ignorant
fellow, dressed in common working clothes
and his hands show that he is hard working
man.
The other two men who were with
him were captured at Greenwood, Ncb., by
d. NJ. Deane and ID. W. Barnes, who left here
at Q 80 last night by rail, going around by
Lincoln. A telegram this morning announced
the capture and that the prisoners would ar
rive here at 30 p. IN. The two are younger
men than Ruby, who appears to be
about thirty-fve, and one of them,
Frank Tobn, is the son of
w. II. Tobin, living six or eight miles south
west of this place and has been working on
a farm in Ruby's neighborhood for the past
year. The other Elmer Nelson, also works
with brother in the same neighborhood.
According to Ruby's story Tobin originated
the scheme and only few days past ar
ranged the plan with the others. They Ieit
home yesterday morning and expected to get
back last night, and had no definite idea of
what they would do if they got the money.
Toon being acquainted with the surround
ings acted as leader. Ruby says he was not
particularly hard up but had always been
poor and had never been in such business
before
The Jail was guarded all night, but the
crowd that gathered succeeded In making the
night hldeous to the solitary inmate who ex-
pected lynching sure. Today he seems per
fectly free to talk and says it would have
been justice only had they shot him while he
was resisting capture yesterday.
