MONEY IS RECOVERED
MasonvilIe Bank Robbers DivuIee
the Hiding Place of Stolen Funds
Implicate William Gadbois as In
stigator of Crime.

Special to Times Republican.
Dubuque, March 16-By the con-
fession of the two Masonville bank
robber suspects held at Manchester,
William Gadbois, an ex-convict, was
declared to be the perpetrator of the
crime, and the stolen plunder has been
recovered. Gadbois is at large, but
the discovery of his name will aid much
in leading to his capture. Barney Han
sen. and "old man. Moore made a
complete confession to Chief of Police
Pickley, of Dubuque.
Hansen says that William Gadbois,
also of Dubuque, whom the officers
have been seeking for week, was
the third member of the trio.
He says that Gadbois engineered the
entire deal, made the plans and blew
the safe, he and Moore remaining out
side the bank as sentinels.
Hansen told where the money was
concealed, and accompanied the officers
TO two barns near Manchester, where
s1,949.1O had been planted. This, with
the money found the morning of the
robbery and that taken from the can-
tured robbers, made a total of $3,S10.59
of the $4,000 stolen.
Hansen says that he refused at first
to go into the deal with Gadbois, who
told of the easy money to be had, he
and Moore having looked the field over.
Gadbois elaborated on how hard Han
sen worked as a molder when 1t was
unnecessary. There was so much cas-
Ter currency about, he said.
Hansen, who has a weak character,
finally consented Hansen formerly
worked under Pickley as a molder, and
was persuaded to tell the story on the
score that it would make his chances
on trial better. Hansen, Moore and
Gadbois were all in Anamosa prison
at the same time.

the course is IS minutes and Al Sec

The time was somewhat slow, the
gusty wind and rough water Destroy
ing all chances of beating the record.
The Oxonians won the toss, and chose
the Surrey side of the river, which, in
view of the strength of the southwest

lated was worth two lengths. Even
with this advantage, however the Ok
ford crew had no chance against Cam

New York. March 16.-"Thank God,
the end Is In sight This was the Ter
vent expression of District Attorney
Jerome at the Thaw trial yesterday,
uttered loud enough for the reporters
to hear. following a favorable decision
by Justice Fitzgerald regarding the
Hummel AFFIDAVIT.
The strain on those attending the
trial has been severe. Fitzgerald mas
shown the effects of it, as have the
lawyers for the defense and the. dis
atrict attorney. When Jerome asked fos
an additional fifteen minutes yesterday
at the usual hour for adjournment, Del
mas protested. declaring his endurance
had been stretched to the breaking
point. and he would not consent to an
other minute of extra session. Jerome
did his best to get from Delmas an es-
tin1ate of the length of time that would
be required to complete the s,1r-rebut-
tai, but Thaw's lawyer declined to give
orally believed, however, that Monday
and Tuesday will be required.
Wednesday and Thursday are to be
used in summoning up. There is
every reason to believe that Friday
will put the fate of Thaw in the hands
of the jury, unless some unexpected
& 1 ~
development occurs. y
The sensational affidavit which
Jerome fought SO hard to get into the
evidence will probably be read in court
Monday. It is not thought Delnas
will object to. its reading on Mon
day.
There was no session Of the court
today, but surprise was sprung when
Henry o. McPike, of counsel for Harry
X. Thaw, made application before the
supreme court today for several addi-
tional subpoenas in Thaw's case. He
declined to make known the name Of
witnesses wanted.

City Contest.
Special to Times es-Republican.
osceola March 16.-Our town is now
in the throes of city campaign. Two

pavement and anti-pavement. Last
Monday evening the republican" eau
cuses were held, and l.. G. Main was

cuses were held, renominating the
present incumbent, j. F.. McAuley, for
mayor. and a full ticket for all other
CITY officials. The present adminis-
tration has already passed an ord1n-
ance for paving around the public
square, the street leading to the depot,
and certain other prescribed streets,
and have advertised for bids for the
work and material. The issue is
squarely before the people, the feeling
is at fever heat, and there is prospect
Of perhaps the hottest electoral contest
our town has ever experienced. Mayor
McAuley is politically democrat. The
republicans are politically far in as
tendency in the city; but this contest
cannot be confined within party lines.
Mayor McAuley was elected two years
ago by a handsome majority, and altho
on account of his aggressive policy in
promoting and pushing for substantial
Improvements, he has made some enc
mics and perhaps has alienated some
of his former friends, his enterprise and
recognized business and executive
ability has won for him many adher-
ents from the ranks of his former op-
posers, which seems to make it appar-
emily fairly certain that he will win out
over his opponent in this contest.
