A report from the coroner OF the Illi-

trict Attorney G. Ray Horton. to whom
Mrs. Kate Carleton Smith of Santa
Ana, a sister of the dead woman, had
impaired her suspicious that Mrs.
Archer's death was due to other than

BY BANK ROBBER
PRESIDENT AND NEGRO ARE
WOUNDED

Deception of Police Officials Saves
Murderer from Violent Death
at Hands of lnfuriated
Mob
lBy Associated Press.

lBy Associated Press.
LOUISVILLE. KY, Nov. III. Gar
ry Fawcett, cashier OF the Merchants
National bank in New Albany, Ind,
was shot and killed and President j.
x. Woodward of the same institution
was seriously wounded by a man who
entered the bank just before noon to-
day and attempted to hold up the Of
ficials and their assistants.
The assailant, a man of about q,
ran to the Ohio river and started for
the Kentucky side in a skiff. The New
Albany police were notified and after
a pursuit in a motorboat captured him
near the Kentucky and Indiana bridge.
The man went TO New Albany in an
automobile, the property of Mrs. Wal
ter Escott, a wealthy resident of
Louisville The chauffeur, James r.
Tucker. who was arrested, told the
police that the robber took possession
colts residence and forced him at the
point of a revolver to drive him TO
New Albany.
Orders Hands Up
AS the robber entered the bank he
pointed two revolvers at the men with
in and shouted:
vault"
There was rush for safety by the
clerks and several customers
President Woodward tried to talk to
the robber, whose response to Mr..
Woodward's question as to what was
wanted was two shots which inflicted
dangerous wounds.
Cashier Fawcett then rushed to the
presidents aid and was shot in the
neck and breast, dying short time
afterward.
After the shooting the robber rushed
out to the corner where the automobile
stood, jumped in and commanded the
negro chauffeur to Get out Of this as
fast as you can"
But the automobile stood still, the
frightened negro refusing to start 1t.
The robber leaped out, and after shoot
ing the negro in the back ran down
the bank to the Ohio river and entered
skiff. He had pulled out some dis
tance into the stream before the as
tonished citizens knew what had hap
pened. A man on dredge bawled
out the alarm through a megaphone.
Owners of river craft began race
for the desperate. Police in a motor
boat ciistanced all followers and in
few minutes caught the man on an
island near the big bridge connecting
New Albany with West louisville.
The prisoner was taken on board the
launch and soon was at the dock in
New Albany. Here were about 200
men who wanted to take him.
Cries of Hang himl Lynch him! He
killed Fawcett" startled the police,
who hurried him to jail. A heavy
guard was put over the prisoner to in
sure his protection from the vengeance
of the dead bankers friends.
The manner of saving the prisoner
from the mob was dramatic. Police
Captain Davis ordered him to lie down
in the boat. Then he was carried to
the patrol wagon while the crowd
surged around. With his foot on the
captive's neck Captain Davis stood up
in the wagon and addressed those who
were crying for vengeance.
"The man is dead" he said. I'VE

GOVERNMENT WILL REVEAL
SUGAR THIEF "RlGHER UP'

NEW YORK, Nov. 1.-THE "man

frauds will be revealed it is announced
tAday.
Government officials declared they
had gained evidence making this ,pos-
sible. This is being used as the basis
of a federal indictment soon to be filed

nabbed him."
The crowd fell back for a moment
and the driver drove tile horses at d
mad gallop to the jail.
Meanwhile the crowd discovered the
deception and the Jail was soon sur
rounded by a rapidly growing mob.
Once more the police adopted move
ment that probably saved the prison
er's life. An automobile was sum-
moned and the captive was hurried to
the state reformatory at Jeffersonville.
five miles away. There the mob could
not reach him.
He has been partially identified as
Arthur Hall, a Louisville dealer in
secondhand furniture.
At the reformatory the prisoner re-
fused to give his name and talked un-
der pressure.
"I won't tell my name" he said. "I
have seven brothers and sisters. My
father doesn't live with my mother,
and all of them are not within 600 miles
of this place. 1 never smoked Gig
arctic, chewed or drank. 1 was never
in trouble but once. That was at Lex
ington. KY, on Halloween a long
time ago."
He seemed to be confused, but ap-
parently was not insane. He confessed
that he planned the bank robbery and
had no assistance. The bandit is a
good looking chap with red hair, which
is neatly cut. He is about 20 years old
with an effeminate face.
Mr.. Woodward was taken to hos
pital and operated upon. There is
seant hope for his recovery.
The negro chauffeur has a dangerous
wound in the spine.
Tonight the bandit was identified as
Thomas jefferson Hall. and according
to William ]. Hall, his father is but
II years old. The elder Hail., who has
a furniture store at S02 South Preston
street. in this city, said young Hall was
a household tyrant and not insane
at all.
HE is simply mean," said the father.

WHAT LOCAL OPTION HAS
DONE FOR BATTLE CREEK
Thus Far 1t Has Deprecated the Values of Real Estate
Has Increased The Amount of Whiskey Consumed
Here, and Has Sent This City's Money to
Kalamazoo County.

This table shows twelve OF the As
stores vacant while the rest are main
ly occupied by soft drink" parlors,
or other cheap business. Besides
the twelve vacant stores mentioned
above there are also 81 more vacant
stores in the city, while none are be-
ing built, making 80 empty stores in
the city today.
These As stores rented last year for
SABA each month or a total of SAL, 20S.
This year they are bringing a total
of $1,255 each month or a total of
$4,000, gross loss of $26,148 in
the years rent, which at six per cent
represents the interest on the enorm-
Gus sum of $435,SOO. This property
is still assessed at its former value and
despite this the loss of the $4,000 II.
cense money which has now to be
raised from higher taxes this year will
be the highest ever known in the city
and county. Had Prohibition proved
moral success there are many who
would not find fault with this i'm.
mense financial cost, but so long as
there is practically as many cases Of
drunkenness and illegal liquor selling
cases on record in our country and
justice courts, and there is more than
twice as much whiskey sent into this
city, as last year, there arises a grave
doubt as to the success of local option
in Battle Greek.
This does not represent all the loss
to the city as it is only one line, bust
mes real estate. In addition to this
there is a large depreciation in many
other lines of business which have en-
joyed large patronage from the liquor
dealers. 1t is also a we'll known fact
that the interurban cars are crowded
with passengers from this city for
Augusta, Galesburg and Kalamazoo
to get their jugs filled. or have good
time" in wet city. They also spend
a considerable amount of money in
those cities for merchandise while
there, all of which goes away from
this city like the mail order business.
The hotel business has been so seri-
ously affected that there will probably
be only one hotel-the Post Tavern
in this city in another year, travelling
men, as a rule, preferring to stay in
