money, $500, was recovered. and il
is expected that the remainder of the
amount st0led will be found. The rob

but successful. Had the work outside
the bank been rs cleverl ydone as the
work inside, there is little doubt that
the robbers would have gone free. Il
was Xschau's confession that led %
the recovery of the money. Up TO 4
o'clock yesterday afternoon he kept

he weakened and confessed every.
thing. 1t was the presence of several
members OF Tschau'S family that final

the robbery.
