DEATH OF RoDMAN C. SMITH.
In the death of Rodman C. Smith, on
Wednesday evening, Sept. %, the town of
Hancock mourns the loss of one of its best
citizens. He was a man whose character
commanded the respect of all who knew
him.
Mr.. Smith was born in Ellsworth, but
had lived in Hancock since the age Of two
years. His trade was that OF carpenter
and joiner.
When the great strife between the
North and South was on, he answered his
eountry's call, and ON Sept. 10, 1862, he
enlisted as orderly sergeant of company
C 2sth regiment Maine volunteers. He
served his term in full, and was with his
regiment in all of the battles in which it
was engaged.
He was a member of the G. A. R.. and
also of Pamela grange. He took deep
interest in the work of the grange, and
the members will have something to re-
member him by in the shape Of beauti-
full altar which he built for the hall, a
splendid piece OF workmanship.
He was a man Of public spirit, taking
prominent part IN the affairs of the town.
Honesty was a watchword with him, and
his kindly disposition made him helper
in every good cause. In December, 1869,
he married Miss Annie Brown, of Bath,
and their union has proved happy one.
A daughter also survives him, who, with
her mother, gladly ministered to him in
his last illness.
The funeral service was held at the
house ON Saturday afternoon, conducted
by Rev. p. A. A. Killam, of Ellsworth.

Shakes Delaware's Soil.

SO 1ncensed was he at this treatment
that he decided to get out of Delaware
as soon Is possible. and on the night of
February % 1874, less than one year
al er imprisonment, he departed from his
cell without notifying the warden.
After jolly sail down the river with
his companions. namely big Frank
Mccoy. Tom Mccormick, Big Jim"
Brady and George Bliss, on a stolen
tug Jimmy was ready for business again.
He had decided by this time that he
n ust become millionaire
Bank robberies followed in rand suc-
cession, two OF which. the first at Dex-
ter, Me. pnd the second at Wells
boro. Pa. placed him very close again
to prison bars and one of which. at
Deep River, Conn. caused him slight
Inconvenience for Il time until he could
find another opportunity OF breaking
Jail.
This matter of being imprisoned every
once in while was beginning to annoy
Jimmy" 1t wasn't fair. He hadn't
troubled anyone except the bankers and
bank desposttors: his profession was
falling into disrepute. and If this thing
continued he could not live up to the

Fourth Attempt Succeeds.

Then came the fourth and last at
tempt. the one that made Jimmy's name
household word throughout the land.
Desperate from the long wait after
the drilling exploit Jimmy decided to
spend no more time on the study of
locks. Six million dollars was in sight.
Jimmy wanted it. and he would have il
by fair means or foul.
The gang with him now was the most
desperate one that could lie brought to-
Rether. Peter Emerson, alias Banjo
Pete" an old end-man IL a mfnstre,
troupe. and Abe Coakley, both dead
shots and ready with a gun, were in
this; to these were added a friend of
Shevelin, William Kelley by name. as
desperate a man as ever robbed a bank
and q certain policeman named John
Nusent. afterward known as criminal
Of the worst kind, and Eddie Gearing.
alias "Goodie." Jimmy's son, Johnny
Hope, was said to have been a member
OF this outfit and was imprisoned along
with others. but his presence at the rob-
berry was always denied bv his father.
The Washington times., 1905-06-11

he came out with his plan. A lock of
like make was procured, and he went
to work trying to defeat its combina-
tiop He discovered after a time a
very simple method of doing this-drill-
bination and by means of wire dis
placing the turnblers of the lock. Sleeve
lin was then Instructed how to make a
wax impression SO that they might have
key to the door
A night came when between watchers
the burglars entered the front door OF
the bank and proceeded to drill the hole.
BY the wire the tunblers were slipped
back and the vault door opened and
then Jimmy Hope, expert safe cracker,
discovered that he had made mistake
after all. The safes inside, guarding the
Sc. coo coo were too much for him, at
least for the short time he had to work
In. He called the members of the gang
together and told them that it was best
to leave things as they were so that
they could come back another night.
To Hope fell the task OF closing the
vault and putting the tumblers of the
lock back into place, but-was he a little
nervous over the death of Howard-his
hand slipped and he failed. Three tumb-
lers fell into their place, but the fourth
cogged and upset the combination of
the lock If it lad not been for Jimmy's
fatal error the fine hole drilled under
the combination would never been
noticed. The bank officials. puzzled al
not being able to open the vault, decided
TO have a new lock put on that as well
as the front door
The Washington times., 1905-06-11

All the world knows what followed this
final attempt. The papers in the ceun-
try at that time Were filed with the
news of how seven masked men sud
Denly appeared before Janitor Werkle,
his wife. and old mother. who had rooms
over the bank bound and gagged them
and terrorized the janitor into giving up
the keys ans revealing the combination
of the safe; how between the hours of

There were two safes built in the
walls inside of the vault. each of these
safes had two compartments in it. They
succeeded by the means of jimmies in
opening one of these safes and its two

contents in the three hours given them,

from the two inside. Emerson was ready
