sengers on the City Of Para which
arrived yesterday from Panama, re-
ported that when off San Lucas they
saw a great battle between an enor-
nous whale and thrasher.. The
whale was a monster and was en-
gagged in an attempt to kill the
thrasher The sea monsters battled
viciously, churning the ocean into a
mass Of bloody foam. The fight was
brought close up to the ship and the
passengers on the City Of Para could
see all details of the battle to the
death. After fighting for nearly an
hour alongside the ship the whale
seemed to gain the mastery and both
dove into the sea, leaving a wave Of
crimson as the only sign OF the car

This Is the Story Told by the
Man Who Robbed J. B. Wills
Of Several Hundred Dollars
Recently.
Is NOW BEHIND THE BARS
FACING SERIOUS CHARGE
The Man Was on His Way to
Oklahoma When He Was
Captured by Detectives in
st. Louis Station.

S. NJ. Lease, charged with stealing
about S4S5 from his employer, J. b.
Wills, a Cambridge City druggist, is
now behind the bars of the city Jail
facing a charge of grand larceny. This
morning Lease was arraigned in the
city court and his attorney, J. F. Rob
bins, waived preliminary hearing.
Lease was then bound over to the cir
cult court under bond of $500. The af-
fidavit against Lease only charges
him with stealing s27, which was the
amount that Wills at first thought
Lease had obtained. After the filing
of the affidavit Wills discovered that
about $4S5 which he had placed in a
sack and secreted in his store was
missing. When Lease was arrested
in st. Louis ne was found to have on
him $47412.
Chief Bailey who went after the
man. states that he had but little
trouble to persuade him to return to
this city without the formality of ex-
tradition. Lease left Richmond early
Tuesday afternoon. Chief Bailey's re
quest to have the man taken off the
train at the st. Louis station reached
the police headquarters there just a
few minutes before the train arrived.
Two detectives were sent on run to
the station and they took Lease in
custody just as he was stepping onto
the platform.
He carried the stolen money in the
inside pocket Of his coat and while
hit rS1I.
tried to get the money out of the poe
ket without the detectives seeing him,
but his efforts were not successful.
Underneath his coat the man carried
a 3S Calibre revolver in a holster,
which was attached to a bullet belt.
To Chief Bailey he told a highly
colored, cock-and-bull story concern
ing the theft of the money. He said
that he had learned that the authorit-
les intended to arrest Wills and him.
self for concealing money. He said
that Mrs. Wills. who is suing her hus-
band for divorce. had obtained an or
der from court TO prevent her hus-
band from dispOsinS of his money
He saw, Lease stated, Wills conceal a
large amount of money in the store.
Later he stated. came the report that
Wills was to be arrested for doing
this and that he uease) was also to
be taken into custody for assisting
him. When l heard this l decided to
get away" He added that he took
the money to Richmond for the pur.
pose of finding Wills and giving it to
him. He could not locate his emDIoy-
er so he decided to make a dash for
freedom alone. At the local station
! he purchased a ticket to Kansas City.
He said that he had intended to go to
Oklahoma

''If the Starr Piano Company will

him with attempting to obtain money
under false pretenses, | am ready to

George Saunders of Centerville today.
This prospective war between the mar

that the money would be paid and that

Police Now Believe That the
Man Has No Local Connec-
tion, Although He May Have
Been in This City.
LEASE SAYS THAT HE
MET SUICIDE HERE.
Gave a Perfect Description of
The Man Whose Body Was
Found Hanging in a Box
Car in Cincinnati.

The local police are now almost
confident that the man whose body
was found in box car in the Cincin-
natl yards yesterday is not a resident
of this city. 1t was thought, because
of an express receipt found in his
pocket, that the suicide was William
]. COffman, who resides at 1919 North
A street. When the police called
there yesterday afternoon they We're
informed that Mr.. Coffman, who is a
passenger brakeman, was in the city.
When he was located he said that he
did not know who the suicide was or
how he came to have receipt to
which the name of himself was
signed.
Yesterday evening several people
who had read the description of the
unknown suicide, telephoned to police
headquarters for further information,
but there was none to be given out.
S. M. Lease, a prisoner who Chief
Bailey took into custody at st. Louis,
says that he is positive he met the
suicide here before leaving Richmond.
While Bailey and his captive were en-
route here from st. Louis and before
| anything was known of the box car
| tragedy in Cincinnati, Lease told him
hot ,S+
| met man by the name of Coffman
and gave him q note to be delivered
irving at police headquarters, Chief
Bailey learned of the suicide mystery.
Going to the Jail he asked Lease to
/ describe the man to whom he had
given the note. The description Civ
en- by Lease tailed perfectly with that
Of the unknown suicide Lease stated
that he thought Coffman lived in In
dianapolis
The following Cincinnati dispatch
gives the details of the tragedy:
That the unidentified man found in
box car at North Bend Tuesday COM
mitted suicide is evidenced by the
| circumstances, but Coroner Cameron
will inquire Of Henry DeIany, colored,
why he did not report his discovery
earlier. Charles Thoms, colored, an
employe of the Marmet-Hahn Coal
company, is quoted as having said that
Delany told him Sunday he had seen
a man either dead or asleep in the box
;ar. Delany did not report the find

Tuesday afternoon, when he had

was lying face down, a pool of blood
about the face and a handkerchief
knotted about the throat, the face pur-
pie. To the handkerchief was tied a
piece of another handkerchief, the sec

theory is that the man had hanged
