In their search around the office they
failed to find the cash drawer, noticing
only the open till on the counter, from
which they grabbed a handful of frac-
uonal currency and put it in a grain
sack they had brought, but left on the
floor of the bank. After the search for
weapons and hasty overhauling of
some papers and wallets, they turned
their attention to the vault. One of
them stepped inside the door of the
vault, as it stood open, when Mr.. Hey
wood, probably with the thought of
protecting the contents, sprang to the
vault door and partly closed it, but was
at once seized and dragged away.
About this time one of them, l think
Bob Younger, noticed Mr.. Bunker edg-
ing towards the counter, and, spring
ing in that direction, spied a small re-
Volver, which lay on the shelf. With
an oath, he commanded Bunker to
keep still, and put the the revolver in
his pocket, saying with sneer: You
couldn't do anything with that little
derringer, anyway" About this time
they turned their attention to Mr.. Hey
wood, in an effort to make him open
the bank safe. With oaths they insist
ed he was the cashier, and, as they
stood over him, one pulled out a knife,

knife was drawn across his throat,
leaving a slight scratch. Then, to fur

over his head. About this time the
leader ordered one of the others to so
into the vault and try the safe. 1 be-
lieve 1t was Pitts who replied: "All
right, but don't let him Geferring to

at this time Mr. Bunker thought he

who fired two shots, the second, while

eye witnesses tell their own stories of
what they actually saw. No doubt If
the witnesses had been called to the
stand the next week their evidence
would have varied considerably. and
it is not strange that after a decade
some of the minor details of the rob-
berry cannot be reconciled. The stories
are here given, however, just as they
were told to your reporter without
any attempt to make them harmonic.
In order that those who have never

evidence here given, a few eXplana-

Mortified is about forty miles d.
rectly south Of st. Paul and is built
IN the Cannon river, part of the town
being on the east and part on the west
Of the stream. The river is spanned
at Fourth street by a bridge. 1t WIS
over this bridge that the band Of eight
robbers approached the bank, which
they subsequently attempted to rob.
The east end of the bridge opens out
into a square which extends block
to the east and which is about twice
the width of an ordinary street. Di-
vision street runs north and south
through the town, and at It's intersec-
ton with Fourth street, which leads
to the bridge, forms part of the square.
The building in which the bank was

is on the west side Of Division street
On the end facing the square at that
time were two stores. The bank en-
trance was at the rear of the building

came in, as he was sitting at one side
at a desk with high front which
would partially conceal him. He arose
at once, however, and was promptly

SUTTON WAS CONVICTED
PLEADED GUILTY TO A CHARGE
OF OPIUM IN POSSESSION.
Judge de In verRne Sentences Him to
Thirty Days i'm jail and Fine
of se5O-Appeal Taken.

A large number of the Alameda
passengers were present in the
courtroom of the District Court
yesterday afternoon to witness the
proceedings in the trial of j. B.
Sutton, the purser of that steamer,
The principal witness for the pro.
secution, detective Cordes, was on
the stand when this paper went to
press. His testimony was sub
stantially the same as that given
in an interview with him publish
| ed yesterday. The defense had
very little use for Cordes evident
ly, as after two or three questions
he was allowed to retire.
In arguing the motion to dis
miss Marshal Brown contended
that under the evidence of the de-
PENDANTS proceedings from the
time of leaving the wharf until
he was arrested he had no posi-
BILE chance of procuring the opium
elsewhere and therefore must have
brought it off the ship, and was in
consequence guilty as charged.
On the other hand Paul Neu-
mann ably contended that there
was absolutely no evidence con-
Meeting the opium in court with
the steamship Alameda, and CON
sequently there could be no con-
viction.
Judge de la Vergne said he felt
constrained to grant the motion,
fully coinciding with the views
held by Mr.. Neumann as to the
testimony. The main point to
him was the fact adduced that the
defendant had passed close to one
customs officer and within few
yards of another in leaving the
wharf and that they both stated
they saw nothing suspicious in
the mans appearance. He hardly
thought a jury would convict the
defendant under such circum.
stances and should order him dis
charged.
The defendant was at once re-
arrested on the charge of opium
in possession, to which he plead
ed guilty and was sentenced to a
fine of $3.50 and thirty days in
Jail. An appeal for mitigation OF
sentence was at once noted and
the Court fixed the bond at $3.50.
This was furnished shortly after
ward, with VIM. G. Irwin as Sc.
curity, and Sutton made the best
of his way to the Alameda, which
was detained nearly an hour on
his account. The defendant
seemed to have the sympathy of
the passengers on the vessel, but
none is expressed for him on
shore.
