WOMEN TORTURED BY ROBBERS.
4 Store ut Demsr, Ga, Mobbed by Negroes
Several Men Seriously Wounded
A Double Murderer Gives
Himself Up.

COLUMBUS, O., May 1.-THE exami-
nation Of the books Of the National
bank, which is to be consolidated June
10 with the Fourth National bank, has
disclosed that c. II. Damsel, book.
keeper for the National bank, Is a de.
faulter to an amount between Sl5, 900
and $4,000. The defalcations date
back about five years. Damsel had been
connected with the bank 81 years, and
the fact that he was trusted implicitly
enabled him to conceal his crooked
ness. His plan Of operation was to
hold out checks varying In amount
from $50 to $500, on banks In other
cities Although the statements from
these banks did not balance with his
own books, he always represented that
they did, and no one questioned his
word. The discovery was made about
ten days ago, and week ago Damsel
disappeared and his whereabouts at
present are unknown.

She refused to tell, and the robbers ap-
piled torch to her feet, burning them
terribly. She then told them where
there was money in trunk in her
room. The trunk was broken open,

departure. The women remained

they gave the alarm. No trace of the
robbers has been found.
