A R0BBER RIGHT.
Didn't Want to Look For
Valuables-Made the Own
ers Get Up and Get
Them.
Used a Pistol in u Systemat-
It. Robbery at Maud
Bells Yesterday
Morning.

One Of the most daring robberies
OF recent years, and one equaled only
by the Torian robbery one week ago,
was committed at the bordillo kept
by Maud Bell, on West Court street,
yesterday morning about 1890
O'Clock.
A negro broke in a window, and
first went to Madame Bells room.
He reused her from he slumbers, and
demanded her money and rings
threatening to blow her head off il
she resisted or made any cutlery.
He stuck big pistol in close prox-
unity to her head to enforce his de-
sire. lie then compelled her to get
up, unlock a drawer, and give him
81 0 she had there. He also took q
$45 diamond ring, but missed getting
one worth $3.50 by the prompt action
Of his victim, who dropped the ring
to the floor, unpcrceived by the rob-
Der. He then warned her TO give no
alarm, and proceeded to the rooms
Of two OF the inmates, and demanded
their money, but failing to get any
made them take off their rings. lie
looked over them and decided he did
not want any Of them and gave them
back.
The police are confident the rob-
her was wholly familiar not only with
the house and its inmates, but with
the time the police 60 of
|, duty and other things. He seemed
to know just where to 60, first taking
the precaution to turn out the lights.
Several young men had been there,
but left only short time before the
robber arrived. He was evidently
watching them, also. The police go
off duty about 5 O'Clock in the morn
ing, and the beats are then unpatrol-
ed until or O'Clock.
George Goodman, colored, former
~ hotel porter, was arrested by Of
iicer Hoyer on suspicion, and is in
the lookup.
Up to this afternoon three differ
ent colored men had been arrested on
suspicion by the police, but none had
been identified at press time. The
robber had on mask to conceal 0
portion Of his features.

A LOAD OF
BUcKsHoT
Ends the Wretched Life OF VIM.
Hall, Across Island Greek
Tom Hannah His
Slayer.
They Quarreled This Afternoon
Over Their Wives-Hall Drew
an AK, Harmon Fired the
Fatal Shot.

William Hall, who worked in vari.
Gus mills in Merchandising and oc.
cupied with his wife and baby a small
room in big dilapidated house dag
onally across from Capt. Farley:
grocery, was shot about noon today
by Tom Harmon, who lives in an adj.
joining room, and died about | 80
Of his wounds. The weapon was O
single-barreled shotgun loaded with
buckshot, and the load penetrated
Halls left leg below the knee, tear
ing huge hole from which his life
blood gushed in an incessant stream
until he was almost drained.
The two men had quarreled. The
disturbance attracted the attention OF
passersby, and DR.. Troutman, whose
Office is across the street, started
across. He heard pistol shot, and
somebody called him to come over.
He started up the crooked flight of
stairs and at the top met Tom Han
non, pale and excited.
al give myself up, / give myself
up; killed him. he exclaimed.
DIR. Troutman turned him over to
a man named Leverman and Mr.. Bud
Quarles, and told them to take him to
the lookup. On the way to the car,
Harmon made his statement, declar-
ing he had shot in self defense, Hall
having struck him with an AK.
DR.. Troutman went into the room
and found Hall lying on the floor In a
pool Of clotted blood. He hastily
bound up the wound, but the blood
had flowed freely, and Hall began to
grow weaker and weaker. His wife
sat in a corner, amid dirty dishes,
pans and filthy rags and wept. Every
thing indicated the most extreme
squalor and poverty. When the
doctor left, he said there was no hope
for Hall, and about ten minutes later
he gasped and it was all over.
Mrs. Hall, the wife, stated to a
reporter that she and lannon's wife
ran away last week aud went to
Smithland. Hall went after them,
anu seemed to blame Mrs. Harmon
for persuading his wife to leave. He
slapped her and she drew pistol on
bin. He had her arrested. Mrs.
Hall returned Friday, but Mrs. Han.
non is still there. She WAS released
when arrested.
This morning Harmon entered the
room occupied by Hall and his wife
and called Hall a---- and
Mrs. Hall something equally as bad.
Hall grabbed an AK, according to his
wife, and struck Harmon. The latter
ran into another room, seized the
gun and ran back with it, shooting
Hall while he stood in his own room.
He was in very close quarters, and
the shot cut large vein. Harmon
then ran to give himself up.
Both men are Of the lower class.
They lived in a wretched place, and
evidently lived wretched lives. They
have had trouble before, judging
from reports. They worked at the
mills whenever they could find work,
and sometimes shipped aboard steam
boats. Both appear to be about 80
years old.
Harmon was carried to the county
Jail and warrant was issued against
him for murder.
Coroner Phelps will hold an inquest
over the remains this afternoon.
At , o'clock Coroner Phelps was
preparing to hold an inquest over
the remains. A warrant will likely
be issued against Harmon after the
inquest.

Washington, Feb. 2l.-The inn
preston has become general here that
the president has decided definitely
to end the Cuban war. From a most
reliable source it is learned that Pres
ident Mckinley has fixed upon poll
cy whereby he hopes to see the
stricken island free from Spanish
rule within year. Behind him he
believes he will find the great bulk Of
the American people. Everything
will depend upon the outcome Of the
Maine disaster, il it be proven to be
an accident the administration will
recognize the belligerency OF the Gu
bans, giving sufficient time for the
excitement Of the present incident to
pass.
Whether the disaster Of the Maine
Iroves to be the result OF an accident
or Of foul play, the president cannot
resist the will Of the people longer.
The question has got TO he settled,
and settled in his administration, and
for political reasons alone he would
not permit the Spaniards to again
conquer the island.
The feeling here is cooling down
TO calm and deliberate judgment
that the Maine was blown up by a
torpedo. Whether the torpedo went
off by accident or not is an open
question to the minds Of most peo-
pie.
Constructor Hichborn said Satur-
day lit may be possible to prove
that the Maine was not blown up by
a torpedo, but it will be impossible
to prove that il was blown up by an
accident, resulting from carelessness
OF our own officers. Nothing short
OF a complete substantiation Of the
accidental theory will ever satisfy the
American people.
