Whitinsville Bank Robber
is in Cincinnati.

story that a, man had been found in a
western city who was thought to be
the man wanted here All of the de-
tails We're given in The Spy last Mon
day.
Today Peleg D. West of Woonsocket,
r. T., received a letter from the chief of
police of Cincinnati, with a schedule of
interrogations as to the general appear
ance of the man who had called at his
office in Woonsocket, the day following
the big robbery. The letter also stated
that the description previously for
warded by Mr.. West to the Cincinnati
police fitted the man almost perfectly
Mr.. West is certain that the man held
by the western police is the man on
whom he practiced surgery, and Wis
ions of the $4,000 reward offered for the
capture and conviction of the robbers
are before the man from Woonsocket.
The man in question is charged with
attempted bank robbery in Cincinnati
and if he is not convicted there, Mr..
West will probably go to that city to
make identification complete, and the
robbers will then be brought east for
trial Several of the local bank offic-
ials have called upon Mr.. West recent
ly in relation to the matter, and other
developments may be expected at any
