Special TO the Indianapolis Journal
NEW CASTLE, Ind, July 30.-Merchants
and professional men of this city have been
missing various sums of money from their
cash-drawers for several months. ond
all efforts to find where IL

Now York orphan. twelve years old. is
the boy who has done the fine work
and together with Frank Davenport
and Leroy Hathaway, aged nineteen
ana sixteen years, was arrested
last night. A preliminary hearing
was had this morning. and all remanded to
jail In default of $500 bail each. Hathaway
has since been released on giving the re-
duired bond. In addition to the robberies
already committed. which run into the
hundreds of dollars. it develops that a de-
tailed plan had been laid to rob the Citi-
zens' State Bank, which has
only been frustrated by the
arrests made. Young Martindale.
the Jesse james of the gang, was to get
into the bank through s. back window and
secure the cash while the other boys talked

cashier and assistant cashier at dinner.

to Mrs. Kortlitzkfs home, where DR.. G. /.

gerous. and the surgeon believes he will
survive. He was resting well last night.
