By the Associated Press.
LEECHBuRG, Pa, Feb. 21.-The town
was thrown into most intense excite
ment this evening by an attempted
bank robbery and the murder of a
prominent citizen in attempting to cap
ture the burglars. One of the men was
captured and narrowly escaped lynch
ing. Some boys saw five men trying to
force an entrance into one Of the back
windows Of the Leechburg bank build
ing. They gave the alarm to Constable
Collars, s. s. Mccullough and Council
man William Schaefer. The three men
hurried to the building. Just as they
arrived one of the burglars came out and
was ordered to surrender. The burglar
drew q revolver and fired. Schaefer fell
dead, shot through the heart. McCul-
dough returned the fire, and while
the shooting was going on, a great
number Of people collected. The man
who shot Councilman Schaefer was
caught and hurried to the lookup. At
least 100 citizens formed themselves into
. posse and started after the other men.
The murderer was locked up and the
prison surrounded by q crowd of armed
men. Threats of lynching were freely
INDUCED In, but the cooler heads pre-
vailed. But little can be learned about
the gang that did the business. It is
certain the second burglar was wounded
and the chances of his capture are
good, 90 the whole town is securing the
country for him.

one of the Panama committee who was
here yesterday to examine Colonel
Thompson, said, before returning to
Washington today: 81 believe from the
evidence so far in hand that whatever
may have been done by bankers and
others in connection with the American
committee, Colonel Thompson was hon.
est in all the transactions he figured in,
and if anything was crooked he was not
in it. His makeup ia not that of job
Der, but won't say that there were not
jobs and crookednsss and great extrav-
agance on this side of the water"
Congressman Storer of Ohio said:
"The evidence shows that the bankers
were engaged in an effort to form syn
dictate among themselves to buy up the
assets of the Panama railroad company
and sell it to the canal company, 30 as
to have things both coming and going.
These bankers received vast sums snnu-
ally from the Panama company for doing
practically nothing. Colonel Thompson
does not pretend to know what they did
to receive the great sum of $4,000 each
per year, making total of 81 200, 900
during eight years. 1t was nothing less
than robbery"
