Battle with the World-Fought
in the Wars.

Marion, O.-After being separated
from his parents for a quarter of a
century, John r. Gordon returned to
this city suddenly. Owing to some
troubles in his home, Gordon left

among strangers to battle for himself,

Spanish-American war broke out, when
he enlisted and went to the Philip.

he returned to this country and Sc.

regard to his dear old mother, who,
since his departure, has become the
wife of Robert Thomas, gave him the
feeling that he would again live to
clasp her in his arms.
On arriving in the city he made his
way to her home. Both wept for joy
until the mother collapsed from the
excitement.

WOMAN CAUSES ARREST OF THE GUILTY MEN
Divorced and Neglected Wife of Accessory to
Deed Unearths Evidence Which Leads to
Their Punishment-How National In
stitution at Lima, O.. Was Plum.
dered of Over SIS. 900 Seven
Years Ago-Officers Long
Suspected of TAX
ing Money.

Seven years ago the American ma
tional bank at Lima, O., was robbed of
$1S,232, the money having been taken
from the vaults sometime between Sat
urday night and Monday morning, but
just when and by whom was unknown
until the last few weeks. Now, Elijah
Bowsher, the trusted ~janitor of the
bank at the time of the robbery, and
Thomas K. Wilkins, an insurance
agent at Lima, are behind prison walls
in the penitentiary at Columbus, O.,
serving out sentences of seven and five
years respectively, for the crime, the
former as principal and the latter as
accessory, both convicted on pleas of
guilty in open court and sentenced
without a trial.
The story of the robbery and the
final detection of the guilty reads like
fiction. 1t is more interesting, because
true, than any of the novels ever writ
ten by "Old Sleuth," the famous detec-
tive author.
Discovery of Robbery.
The fact that the bank had evidently
been robbed was first made known to
the cashier, Gus Kalb, by Janitor Bow
sher on the morning of Monday, De-
cember &c, 1898, then a holiday be-
cause Christmas of that year fell on
Sunday. He went to the home of the
cashier and informed him that he had
found the door of the bank vault e
An investigation followed and the
robbery was discovered. The only sus-
picious fact, however, when Cashier
kalb entered the bank that forenoon,
was that the outer vault door was
open. The inner door was bolted Sc
curely, the time lock apparently not
having been tempered with and the
mechanism of all the combination
locks working properly. How had the
robbers secured an entrance? This
was a mystery that it has taken seven
years to unravel.
Cashier Kalb. with the vice presi-
dent of the bank, N. l.. Michael, had
locked the vault doors and the safes
the Saturday night before the discov-
cry of the robbery, setting the time
lock to run down on Monday noon, APP
parently defying an entrance until
then.
When the cashier pulled the outer
vault door open on that fateful Mon
day morning nothing within indicated
that the other locks had been manipu-

Vice President Michael were arrested
and indicted by the grand jury.
While the cases against them were
afterwards dismissed because of lack
of evidence, they were believed by
many to be guilty.
Finally Bowsher, the janitor, was ar
rested. Nothing, however, could be
proven against him and he was re-
leased and the Lima bank robbery con-
tinued a mystery that bafiied solution
on the part Of the best detective talent
of the country.
Arrest Due to Woman.
1t remained for a woman, neglected,
divorced and scorned-refused the
money that, in part, had quieted her
tongue-to unearth the evidence that
led to the arrest Of the guilty party,
Janitor Bowsher and her husband,
Thomas X. Wilkins, an accomplice in
the crime. This woman was the d.
vorced wife of Wilkins. Ten years ago
she was a society woman at Lima, the
daughter of a leading railroad official.
She was pretty and accomplished
and, until some years after her mar
riage to Wilkins, did not know what
want was. Wilkins was the son of a
real estate dealer at Lima, a man of
considerable wealth, and at the time of
their marriage had but just been adj
mitted to the practice of law and had
a promising future.
During the first few years of their
married life the young couple lived in
luxury in n of the h~andsomest resi-
dences in Lima. But, as they do in
so many married lives, the days Of
neglect and abuse came and then Mrs.
Wilkins sued for and obtained a di-
Vorce. Then, denied the payment Of
her alimony, and denied money from
Bowsher, she resolved to tell the Sc
cret she had kent so many years.
Janitor Is Accused.
Her story was told to A. L. Erect,
the deputy sheriff at Lima, who, of her
own yolition, she took into her conf
dence. She said that Bowsher commit
ted the robbery and that Wilkins was
an accessory before and after the fact.
Her story, in substance, was that Bow
sher had frequently told Wilkins what
an easy matter it would be for him
to rob the bank.

had secured it, 70 avoid suspicion, both

Frank P. Lewis has recently returned
from a trip through the tobacco sections,
looking over the growing fields. He noted
the best crops and engaged them, and
will go later to watch the curing and
packing of same. The Lewis Single Binder
factory probably controls more fancy
graded tobacco than any other cigar fac
tory in the United States. In spite of the
TACT that the factory sends out no travel
ing salesman to boom its good qualities
to the trade, the Single Binder sales
reached seven million last year and will
exceed eight million in 1905. For twenty
three months this factory has been be-

Mexico,s Financial Status.

Our neighbor on the south has just
1oated a large loan in spite of the fact
that DiaZ, who has long been looked
upon as the bulwark Of Mexico's insti-
buttons, is an old nan and must soon
pass away. Under his sway Mexico
has not only not declined nor been
merely regenerated for the time being,
but permanently developed and j-G-
proved. For one thing, Diaz has called
about him men who can take the helm
in the crisis Of his death. The Next
can minister Of finance, Limantour,
and also the vice president Of the re-
public, Corral, are both of the Diaz
school, devoted to internal improve
ments and the creation Of industries.
The wisdom of inviting outside capital
and giving concessions to developers of
the national has been proved
in Mexico, where the people them
selves, as is the rule with South Ameri-
can republics, have devoted their at
tention chiefly to politics, theoretical
problems and the pursuit of an easy
existence. Diaz has made a great be-
ginning, and, although he can never
see the work completed, his country
is upon a solid foundation, and her
natural advantages are being rapidly
and at the same time normally, there
fore safely, developed.
