evidence secured by Detectives Moore
and Baker, of the Paducah police
force, and Detective F. L. Miller, of
st. Louis, Pinkerton man. Patrol
man James Brennan aided in trailing
the clews. The detectives did good

giles. He asked them for a match, but
no reply was made. and the men
drove on. II is said that Reeves
recognized one OF the men and he
gave a good description of the other
men.

tered the telephone exchange above
the bank room, beat Sam Evitts, the
operator, unconscious and made b.

lock the door and open the vault. II
Is asserted that Evitts induced Hahs

evening while he went out, and a few
minutes after Evitts returned the rob-
bers entered and apparently assaulted
Evitts and made Hahs go downstairs
and open up.
