STRANGE STORY
OF ABDUCTION
Told by Woman Rescued
From River.
She WAS GIVEN DRUG
At Indianapolis and Taken to
Kentucky-Tried to
End Her Life.

Henderson, KY, Nov. 13.-Dissuad-
ed from her announced intention 10
commit suicide after she had walked
into the water near the wharfboat
with her apron laden with rocks to
make sure her body would sink.
Thursday afternoon a woman giving
her name as Pearl Hoyt, of Indian
apolis, told the most remarkable story
of alleged abduction ever divulged in
Henderson.
The woman gave her name to the
police as Hannah Glory, but in con-
versation. before she was turned
over to the police, she said her name
was Hoyt, and that her address was
SO3 East Washington street, Indian
apolis.
She said she was disguised with
life and did not care to live any
longer To the police she was very
reticent. She told practically nothing
that would throw light on her case
She was provided with return trans
portation to Evansville and left the
city on the boat.
The woman said a man, whose
name she refused TO give, visited at
her home in Indianapolis few days
ago. He gave her a glass of whisky,
and she believes it must have con-
tanned some powerful sleeping potion,
At any rate, she became in state OF
coma and could tell of no occurrence
that preceded her awakening in this
city Thursday morning. She refused
to tell where she stayed while in
this city. She did not tell the man
ner Of her escape from her captor.
The police were notified, and OFF,
Ger Hoggard took the girl to head
quarters, and she was given trans
portation to Evansville. The woman
was about twenty years old, of med
ium height, and weighed probably 100
pounds, dark complexion, black eyes
and hair.
Those who saw the woman judged
her to be drunk or suffering from
some powerful stimulant. She acted
in a half-starved way and when in
conversation she acted in a listless
manner, answering questions as II
she was in a stupor and hardly real
lied what she was saying.
She would not give the mans name
whom she claimed brought her here,
neither would she describe him. She
stated that she was a married woman
and limited that the man who was
with her in this city was also mar
ried. She refused to give her hus-
bands name.

TERRIBLE DEED
OF BOY BANDIT
Attempted to Hold up
Bank at New Albany.
KILLED ONE, WOUNDED OTHERS
Made a Desperate Attempt
to Escape, But Was
Soon Captured.

With a gun in each hand and two
Others in his pockets, Thomas Jeffer-
son Hoal of Louisville, seventeen
years of age, entered the Merchants
National bank at Pearl and Main
streets in New Albany. Ind, at IL
o'clock Thursday morning, and after
commanding everybody to throw up
their hand and get into the vault,
began shooting.
]. Hungary Fawcett, cashier Of the
Merchants National bank Of New Al
bany shot through chest and neck;
was killed almost instantly.
John X. Woodward, president OF
the Merchants National bank, shot
through the intestines; taken to st.
Edwards hospital and operated upon.
James H. Tucker, colored chauf-
feur, of Louisville, shot through the
body by murderer because he would
not aid flight.
Following these shootings Hoal rush
ed from the bank, jumped into the
automobile which IN had appropriated
at the point of a pistol in Louisville
to make the trip to New Albany, ana
tried to escape in the machine. When
the negro chauffeur, James Tucker,
refused to put on full speed Hoal shot
him through the body, leaped from
the car, fled to the river and tried
to make his escape in a skiff.
An alarm was shouted through a
megaphone to some men In house
boat on the dixie and they captured
Hoal, who was turned over to Police
Captain Adams, of New Albany.
A mob formed to lynch him, but
Adams spread the report that he had
taken poison and was dying. and
managed to get him to the Jefferson
Vile reformatory.
The news of the tragedy spread
through New Albany like wildfire.
Both Garry Fawcett and Jack Wood
ward were known and beloved of all.
Garry Fawcett, who was one OF the
most whole-souled and engaging
young men in the world, was particu-
iarly popular in New Albany, where
he had spent all his life. Fawcett
and Woodward were equally well
known in banking and social circles
in Louisville.
The murderer set out from Louis
willie on his mission Of death Thursday
morning. 1t is supposed that his
primary object was to rob the bank,
though he gave little indication OF
this after he had entered the bank.
and seemed to be inspired only with
an insane desire to kill.
James Tucker, the negro chauffeur
for Mrs Walter Escott, OF 1l"S
Third avenue, said he was in front
of the residence with Mrs. Escott's
machine when Hoal came up and,with
drawn revolver, entered the machine
and compelled him to drive him as he
pleased.
They proceeded through Fourth
street in Louisville, according to
Tucker and then through the west
ern part of the city to the X. and
]. bridge and across to New Albany.

Turkey Facing Another Revolution


Consiartinople via Philippopolis, June
24.-Tnrkey is today facing another
revolution, in the opinion of close stu
dents of national affairs.
The friction between the Young Turks
and the military party, led by General
Ohefiek Pssha, is increasing daily, aud
a clash between them in the near future
is now believed to be inevitable.
The Young Turks are thoroughly
dissatisfied with Sultan Mehmed v,
who is declared to be nothing more than
the tool Of Oheftek. who, in turn, is
looked upon as reactionary at heart and
an opponent of reform. The true position
of Oheftek will become more clearly
defined IS he continues to strengthen
his grip on the sultan and the country,
the Young Turks say.
The Young Turks are said to be plan
ming the enforced abdication of Mehmed
V, and the substitution of Prince
Ynssei E7zedin, the heir apparent, as
the sultan. The prince is pronounced
liberal, has been for years and the Young
Turks are satisfied that he could be
trusted to carry out the constitution in
spirit as we'll as 10 letter. Il is certain
that Oheflek is aware of the conspiracy
and is prepared to declare martial law
throughout Turkey at the first sign of
open hosptility. He has the military
forces of the country under almost COM
plele control, though the Young Turks
still believe that in the event of a
clash, the soldiers would be loyal to
them, as the real defenders OF the con-
stiiutiOn.
