"That would be most difficult for
me to say, as I am not conversant
with all the facts. There are plenty
of men who, desirous of spreading
seditious ideas, go about intoxicating
their ideas in the minds of the young
er men, making them believe they are
not treated right and that they should
rebel and demand justice. OF course,
young blood is impetuous, and these
youngsters are easy tools In the hands
of the plotters."

Bank and Escape.

Bank and Escape.
Somerset, O.. March 27.-Seven ban
dts partially wrecked the Bank of
Somerset by exploding heavy charge
of nitroglycerin in the vault doors,
secured $4,000, appropriated two liv-
cry rigs, held posse of citizens at
bay and escaped in the face of heavy
fire. Bonds .and securities to the
amount of $4,000 and $4,000 in gold
coin were overlooked by the bandits.
The bank was fully insured and it's
business will not be interrupted.
A heavy explosion in the bank
building shortly before 2 a. m. aroused
citizens living in the vicinity of the
Bank of Somerset and many persons
began to appear in the darkened
streets of the village. William Low
ett opened fire on the bandits with a
rife, but his aim was not of the best
and the shots only served to draw the
fire of the robbers. Soon citizens
came to the bank from all directions
and the robbers evidently began to
think of escape. At a signal from the
four on guard, three others emerged
from the debris of the bank, bearing
several sacks into which they hurried

two rigs and drove in a northerly di-
rection. Citizens took up the chase
and at a. m. found the rigs deserted
along the roadside.

TOOK ACID BEFORE WIFE
Hoboken Man Killed Himself
When She Refuses to
Recognize Him.

Michael Coyne, of Hobeken, committed
suicide in Curtis's Bay, surburb of Bal
timore, Monday night, by drinking car
bolic acid. Family troubles caused the
man to end his life. A little more than a
year ago he married an actress who does
a song and dance speciality in Floods $
Theatre in Curtis's Bay, under the name
of Mabel Manchester. Before going TO
Baltimore Mrs. Coyne was employed in
a vaudeville theatre in Hoboken.
Mrs. Coyne and her husband have not
lived happily together. She said at the
coroner's inquest that he was cruel to
her. and on last Saturday he met her at
the door of the theatre in Hnboken. and
after abusing her, tore up the railroad
ticket that had been sent to her from
Baltimore.
Mrs. Coyne reached Baltimore on Sum
day evening, and Monday did her turn III
Floods, where she is well known. 1t was
about Ii o'clock when she first became
aware that Coyne was in the theatre.
Soon after this she happened to be near
him, when he called to her.
81 don't know yeu,' she replied.
''You don't know me? Well here goes
your husband"
thing which he had previously poured in
to glass from a bottle he had in his
pocket.
Mrs. Coyne said that she thought he was
drinking heavily, but had no idea he had
taken poison. The drug had been pur-
chased in Hoboken. Mrs. Coyne also said
her husband frequently threatened to kill
hlmself, and or several occasions bought
carboHc acid.
The body of Michael Coyne arrived in
Hobolen this morning and was taken to
the family home, No. 1904 Willow ave-
nue..
Coyne who was twenty-six years old,
was employed as a workman by Ho-
boken liveryman. Eighteen months ago
he made the acquaintance of a girl who
was appearing at Hoboken concert hall,
under the name of Mabel Manchester.
He married her upon her promise to give
up the stage and began housekeeping in
apartments at the corner of Fourteenth
and Clinton streets
The couples welded bliss was brief and
six months ago the wife went back to
the stage, saying that she could not re-
main away from it.
Coyne haunted the concert halls where
she appeared. and they had many quar-
rels. Two months ago the wife left for
Baltimore, after having retained Coun-
sellor Herbert Davis to institute pro-
ceedings for separation.
When Coyne heard of the intended pro-
ceedings he gave up his position and
followed her to Baltimore and then back
to Hoboken. When she returned to Bal
timore he again followed her and there
committed suicide.

MAY Be SMUGGLERS
Police Capture Three Men
With Several Val
ises.

Patrelman Harris, of the Second pre-
cinct police station, on post at the Erie
Railroad ferry at the foot of Payonia
avenue, last night at eight o'clock be-
came suspicious of two men who left a
ferryboat from New York. Each carried
a large valise. Harris thought they look
ed and acted rather suspiciously and he
watched them. He saw them join a third
man near Barnum street. and after some
talk the third man took the vaIises and
started back toward the ferry followed
by the two who had but few minutes
before come from the boat. The man with
the valises crossed the street almost at
the ferry entrance and disappeared in
the shed of dock No. 2. The two men fol-
lowed him and Harris followed them
When he got on the dock he saw the
two valises in rowboat and the two men
about to board it. The man who had
carried the valises to the boat did not ap-
pear to be acquainted with the two and
had no intention, apparently, of board
ing the boat. Harris placed the three
under arrest and took them to the station
house.
When searched both men had consider
able money in their pockets. The valises
contained nothing but two smaller valises.
An investigation was begun by the police
and they found that a French steamer,
the Bordeaux, was lying in the Hudson
within easy reach of dock NO. q The
police suspected the men of being SNUG
glers and they were arraigned before
Police Justice Hoos this morning in the
First Criminal Court. They were set free
because there was no evidence against
them and they refused to make any ex-
