A CASHIER TURNS BURGLAR
The EllaVille Bank Robbery Develops
a Sensation.

Cashier CLARK Takes Laudanum With
Suicidal Intent and Then Confesses
That He Robbed the Safe-SpecuIa-
ton in Cotton Futures the Cause of
His Downfall.
Ellaville, Ga, Jan. 81 The shock to
the people Of Ellavile was great when it
was announced on Monday morning that
the Planters Bank had been burglarized
and robbed of all its money, but it was
nothing in comparison to the effect upon
them when it was generally known at 5
o'clock yesterday afternoon that Cashier
j. E. Clark, who was esteemed so highly
by all the people, was most probably the
perpetrator of the crime Early this
morning he went to the nearest drug
store and procured half an ounce of
laudanum, pretending that he wanted it
for toothache, which he swallowed as soon
as he reached his room.
CLARK coNFEssEs.
He was shortly afterward interviewed
by three prominent bank officials, to
whom he confessed that he had taken the
money and that the laudanum was taken
with suicidal intent. An emetic was at
once administered and the poison promptly
expelled.
O6UeCIlVe Jones from AGlduJd, mas been
here for the past two days working the
case up and within less than four hours
after he arrived, he pointed out Cashier
Clark as the robber of the bank.
BAG OF SILVER FOUND.
About 10 O'Clock yesterday morning a
bag of silver was found among pile of
rubbish in the back part of the bank
building. and showed no signs of having
been burned by any kind of explosive.
The six steel plugs which project into the
solid wall of the safe when fastened were
uninjured, nor was the safe harmed
in any respect, except that the
door was blown from its hinges These
facts led to the conclusion that Cashier
Clark had removed the money, filing the
safe with powder, placed his fuse in po-
sition, closed but not fastened the door,
and then applied the match, which con-
illusions are thought to be true by Clark s
confession. The holes drilled into the
outer door of the vault and into the safe
door were put there as a blind.
THE TOOLS IN A WELL.
The tools used were found at Clark's
direction, in the bottom of an old well
near the depot Something over $4,000
have been found, s., 800 of which was in
Clark's pocket and trunk. The largest
stakeholder took The ma tier of losing his
money lightly, compared TO the
sorrow manifested over the downfall of
this promising young man, who is only "a
years of age.
Speculation in cotton Futures, Clark
claims, caused him TO make way with
| about IS, 500 and he adopted this plan to
conceal it. His parents live in Americas.
