WISELY REVEALS PLAN.
Studied Banks System and Then Jug
gled Books and Checks.

St. Louis, Mo-, Jan. 22.-Don Carlos
Wisely, after telling of having "plant-
ed'' over $8, 600 in the safety vaults
Of the Portland Trust company, dictat-
cd confession of how he robbed the
Old National bank, of Spokane, to raise
money to learn the plumbing trade.
"In August, 1908, obtained posi-
tion at the bank as blotter clerk for the
paying teller" said Wisely in his
statement. Il worked overtime at
night to svudy the banks system of
handling money. 1t took me just six
weeks to find out there was loophole
in the banks dealings with the clear
ing house through which could obtain
large amount of money.
First of all stole 81, 900 in silver
from the vault and covered up the
shortage by making fictitious entry
in one of the books. Then, when a
check for $40, 900 had passed through
my hands and from the bookkeeper to
the cashier and then to the statement
clerk, l got it again and made another
entry of it. After it passed through
the various hands second time | stop
ped it again. Later, when another
$1,000 reached the bank from another
institution, l took the first one to the
clearing house and got gold certificates
for it.
Il left Spokane Immediately after
getting the money and went to Port
land, where opened an account under
the assumed name of Harry Moore. -

MRS. CARMACKF FILES
CIRCUIT COURT SUIT
REINSURANCE MONEY
PENNSYLVANIA CASUALTY COM.
PANY Is NAMED AS THE
DEFENDANT.

Mrs. Cooley D. Carmack, through
her attorneys, Messrs. E. H and c. p
Hatcher, has entered suit in the Cir
cult Court of Maury county against
the Pennsylvania Casualty Company
for $500
Suit was brought for the collection
Of an accident policy carried by Sena-
tor Carmack at the time of his muir
der last November, and the amount
sought represents the face of the pol
Icy, interest and the penalty prescribed
by the state laws for non-payment
Service was had on Messrs. Wilson
& Regen of Columbia, the local agents.
there being no general officers of the
company within reach Of service. A
legal question is involved in this suit
which has never been tested, 1t is
said, in the courts of Tennessee, but
has been decided in number Of In
stances in the courts of other States.
1t has been held in the courts of other
states that where a man. carrying an
accident policy, was killed In per-
sonal difficulty, that the accident COM
pany was liable, provided the insured
did not seek the difficulty, but that Ii
he did go out and seek the difficulty,
or in technical terms provoke riot,
the accident company is not liable.
AS the criminal court of Davidson
county has held by its verdict that
Senator Carmack was murdered, 1t Is
difficult to understand what defense
the accident company will make to the
payment. Before the suit was brought
payment was demanded from the COM
pany by the Messrs. Hatcher, but the
only answer received was an inquiry
as to how the PLAINTIFFS attorneys
would compromise.
