BURIED ALIVE.
Douglas Reese, Of Chillicothe, In the
Grave Thirty.Six Hours.

Prof. s. A. Lee has been giving hyp.
motto exhibitions in Chillicothe. Among
other things he has had one of his sub
iects buried alive. Of this event the
Chillicothe Leader Gazette says.
One of the most unique funerals, if
such an adjective can be applied to 80

red at the clothing store of Mr.. Charles
A. Sulzbacker at 10 O'Clock a. m. Thurs
day, when Douglas Reese wrapped the
draparies of his couch about him, and,
with assistance of Prof. S. A. Lee, laid
down the pleasant dreams that covered
period of thirty.six hours.
As the town clock marked the hour
of ten, transfer wagon, bearing the
coffin, was driven in front of the build.
ing, and the box was borne inside the
store, where were gathered hundred
people, intent upon seeing every move
of the operator and his subject. Reese
was in excellent spirits, and chatted
pleasantly with a number of friends
while his coffin was being equipped with
mattress and blanket for his long
sleep.
As he stepped into the box, which was
six feet in length, two in height and
three in width, with padded cloth
lining, he smiled pleasantly upon the
assembly, as though about to 60 on a
pleasant mission, and addressed fare.
we'll to those about him. When all was
in readiness for the death blow, for some.
how the scene reminded one OF an execu.
ton, Prof. Lee laid his hands on the
temples of his subject, gave quick jerk,
and from that movement Reese was dead
to the outside world.
A few more passes and suggestions
were made by the operator, which caused
slight convulsion to pass over the frame
of his subject, who to all intents aud
purposes, became a temporary corpse.
The lid of the box was quickly screwed
down, amid sighs of sorrow that came
from the spectators, who had come out
for curiosity and then regetted their
coming. Little time was wasted in the
journey to the grave, which was located
just across the railroad track in the city
park.
The interment was directed by Under.
taker j. G. Ware, who prepared the
coffin. After the ventilators had been
arranged, the loose earth was replaced,
leaving Prof. Lees subject some feet
from the surface. The interment was
made in the presence Of fully five hun.
dred people. The grave was carefully
guarded until the resurrection.

the Thought that the men had evil de-
signs on the bank; going up the walk,
he turned the corner on Division street
as the men were dismounting. He fol-
lowed and entered the vestibule of the
bank as Miller closed the door and
stepped outside, where they met face
to face. Miller drew his revolver and,
aiming at Allen, said: "You git! Don't
you holler." Allen stood not on the
order of his going, but "got," and as
he neared the corner of the building
returning s'hollered' loud enough to
be heard up and down the street a
block either way: Get your guns,
boys, they're robbing the bank" AS
he called, Miller shot, which was al
most simultaneous with the appearance
of the other four robbers, who put their
horses to run and commenced Shoot

Wheeler, in a drug store across the
street, heard Aliens call and respond

a rifle the day before in the Dampier
hotel, on the corner below and across
the street from the bank building. and
Immediately went by the alley at the
rear Of the buildings on that side of
the street to "get the gum" AS Allen
passed Manning's store on his way to
his own, he told the latter what was
up, and Manning lost no time in get
ting a few cartridges and Remington
rifle, with which he did good service.
Re-entering his own store, Allen gave
the alarm to his clerks, and one of
them, Mr.. Joseph Hyde, picked up a
loaded shotgun and rushed up to. the
corner about the time Clel. Miller had
remounted his horse. He was directly

but by this time DR.. Wheeler had se-

blow your head off, Pitts ran to the
vault and stepped inside, but imme-
diately returned. Just at this time
Haywood has arisen from his seat, and
stepping to the vault, caught hold Of
the outer door, and attempted to close
the same, with the intention, no doubt,
of keeping the robbers out. James and
Pitts both grabbed Haywood, and
pointing their reyolvers in his face,
said: "Open that safe, now; or you
haven't minute to live Of course,
accompanying their threats with oaths.
Haywood replied: "There is a time
lock on, and the safe can't be opened
now" That's a lie," retorted James.
and Pitts, and repeatedly demanded
that he open the safe, coupling each de-
mand with. a threat, and commenced
hustling H. about the room. Seeming
to realize the desperate men he was
dealing with, Haywood called "Mur-
der! Murder! Murder!' whereupon
James struck him a terrible blow on
the head with his revolver, telling him
to the floor. Some think this would
have killed Haywood had no other in
jury been inflicted. He fell perfectly
limp, and could not. have been fully
conscious after receiving the shock,
as no word escaped his lips Pitts
then drew a knife from his pocket,
and, opening it., said: Lets cut his
ID throat and drew the edge Of
the knife across poor Heywood's neck,
inf1icting slight wound while he was
lying helpless on the floor The two
dragged Haywood from where he lay,
just at the rear of his desk, to the
vault, and partially inside, repeatedly
commanding him to open the safe.
While working with Haywood they
occasionally turned to- Wilcox and me,
pointing their revolvers at us, and de-
manded that we unlock that safe.''
At each demand we simply replied that
we could not unlock it. The safe not
being locked at the time, our answer
was true. The door of the safe was
closed, and the bolts thrown in place,
but the dial not turned off the combi-
nation. While Haywood was in the
reclining position, probably to further
intimidate him, Pitts placed his re-
volver close to HIS head, and fired.
The bullet went into the vault and
through tin box containing some
:ewelry and valuable papers, left by
some customer for safe keeping. This
was the first shot fired in the bank.
During the time James and Pitts
were occupied with Haywood, and tor
turing him, Bob Younger was paying
particular attention to Wilcox and me.
When I first threw up my hands, being
in somewhat of hurry on account of
the importantly Of my guests, I did
not wait to lay down the pen I had
