STOCKING FULL OF COLD.
Handed by PaulSell to an Off
Ger After the Faro-Bank
Robbery.
BERT DoNs A MACINTOSH
Curiosity Aroused as to What Line
the Defense Intends to
Pursue.

The prosecution rested yesterday in the
case of E. W. Paulsell, charged with rob-
bing the Carroll faro bank on Market street
of nearly $4,000, and the defense will open
this morning.
Considerable interest has been aroused
in the case, and Judge Belcher's courtroom
bailiff, NJ. ]. Sullivan, was deputed to bar
the door against the crowd which sought
seats in excess of the supply.
The tolls have been drawing closer
around Paulsell, and the defense declines
to show its hand. From the evidence it
can only be gathered that it will be at
tempted to show that there is no direct
evidence connecting Paulsell with the rob-
berry, and that all testimony against him is

an eloquent pistol which had forced him
from the outer to the inner room and kept
him facing a wall there. He had fumbled
at the front window after the robbers exit,
but failed to open it for while, when
Porter Allen had raised it. Then he had
seen two men looking like the robbers de-
camping in different directions. He
couldn't tell whether the robbery occupied
an hour, or half an hour, or five minutes,
or any time at all.
James Watson, special police officer,
helped to arrest paulsell at the entrance to
the Crocker-W oolworth Bank, while the
faro bank employees We're shouting "Stop
thief!' from window. Paulsell, who
then wore macintosh and soft black hat,
handed him stocking full of gold without
remark. The officer afterward secured
other pieces of gold picked up on the side
walk. At the station the money was
Jumped together; there were at least thir-
teen twenties in the stocking. A big,
loaded pistol was found ON the prisoner
PaulselIs person.
Special Officer Martin Tenancy was the
first to accost Paulsell, who had said very
little. To remark II shouldn't think a
man of your appearance would be in a
thing of this Kind" the prisoner had
merely replied, "That'll be all right"
Beside the stocking of gold Paulsell had
only about 10 or Is cents in his possession.
Under cross-eXaminat1on it was brought
out that Paulsell would have had plenty of
time to run away before the officers ap-
preach had he been so disposed.

testimony as to the mysterious man who
