Who had taken it?
It seemed ridiculous to accuse Bow

burglar-proof locks and then placing
them again in the condition they were
when found.

was reasoned, have been done by the

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 mystery that bafiled solution
on the part of the best detective talent
of the country.
Arrest Due to Woman.
It remained for . 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 q
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
promising future.
During the first few years of their
married life the young couple lived in
luxury in one of the handsomest 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 d.
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 volition. 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.
What to do with the money after he
had secured 1t, to avoid suspicion, both
cred him, and for its investment and

| handling he took Wilkins into his con-
fdence On the morning after the rob-
berry, Mrs. Wilkins related, her hus-
band came home with his pockets
stuffed with money, several thousands
of dollars in bills of d4Merent denomi-
nations and gold coin. He was some
what under the influence Of liquor at
the time and did not know where to
hide the money.
"Well, Lige has done the job," he
said. "and this is my share Of It."
Finally the money was hidden in q
torn sofa at their home, and from this
place it was taken as each needed it,
from time to time-a fortune in their
possession, and yet it did not bring
them happiness.
In a few years the money was all
gone. Finally, for neglect and cruelty,
she obtained a divorce from him, leav-
ing soon afterward to reside with an
Uncle near Fort Wayne. Ind.
Within few months Wilkins fol-
lowed her and for a time their differ

Seven years ago the American ma
uonal bank at Lima, o., was robbed Of
1922, 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 trial.
The story of the robbery and the
f1nal detection Of the guilty reads like
fiction. 1t is more interesting. because

tive author.
Discovery Of Robbery.
The fact that the bank had evidently

the cashier, Gus Kalb, by Janitor Bow
sher on the morning of Monday, De-
cember 26, 1898, then q 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 open.
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 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, ap-
parently defying an entrance until
then.
When the cashier pulled the outer
vault door open on that Hateful Mon
day morning nothing within indicated
that the other locks had been manipu-

Give the Cow a Fair Trial

"a Weekly Agriculture Lottery
So much has been written and said
OF late in regard to cutting out the
poor COWS OF the milking herd that |
feel constrained to take the part OF the
old COW and plead for fair play in her
trial against death at the butchers
hands.
True, every cow kept for use in the
dairy should yield every year $50 to
800 pounds of butter fat and a her
keeper a net profit of $40 to $50.
The way to find out whether she
does this is to weigh at intervals, her
milk and test it with a Babcock tester
to prove how much fat there is in it,
and thet when she has given credit for
all she has done she should be charged
with her board; and true, also. that il
the COW does not make a record worth
while she should be sent to the block;
but, wAils this test IS being made,
which will decide her fate, let there be
