and, meeting with a refusal. ired two

Both men are row a. a hospital N uneon-

When Clark gained access 20 wyckosrS

and resides in Monielsir. y. ]. Clark is
g years old and wears q sandy nlustaehe.
He was wei dressed
At the hospital Clark would not give his
name and address or his occupation. He
said that he needed money ana had been
out OF employment for one week. He
claimed that he had no particular motive
other than that OF getting money for the
support of his wife and boy. he said: II

and did not know him. He had never done

The police do not know Clark. Neither
had any OF the bank employees ever seen
him about the bank. His real identity Is
a mystery, and every effort b belng made
70 identify him. The accepted theory Is
that he is crazy.
The shooting created great excitement In
the banks IN Broadway. In few minutes

The attempt of Norcross TO XIII Russell
