statement which was thereupon dictated. as

New York detective. arrived on the steamer
yesterday from Australia. but he didn't bring
Augustus G. Hagan. deiaulting cashier Of the
American Exchange Bank OF New York. who
robbed that institution OF over $1,000. Bennett
was sent to Australia By the bank officials
after they learned that Hagan was In Sydney.
He found Hagan, but didn't get any warrant
for him. as he learned that the deiaulter was
preparing to return to California. He cabled
to New York, and the bank officers wrote to
the Federal courts here to arrest the deiaulter
when he landed. Hagsn took passage In the
steerare Of the Alameda, and Bennett became
his fellow passenger. The detective overdid
the sleepless vigilance business. for he shad-
owed Hagan so closely that the deiaulter be-
came suspicious. and several times attempted
to pick quarrel with Bennett The detective
would not show fight, and all went well until
the Alameda was within q few days OF Homo
lulu. Then Hagan accused Bennett OF shadow
ing him and knocked him down. When Ben
nett was rescued HaRan ordered him to keep
away or else he would chew his head on"
This SO frightened the detective that he paid
extra fare and moved into the cabin.
At Honolulu HaRan walked ashore. and as
Bennett had no papers he could not arrest
him. A vessel was about TO sail for Samoa and
the adjacent islands. and Hngan took passage
