Murdercrs Drop Loot to Escape.

driver, George Rassda,c ned through
the woods in such haste that they
dropped the treasurer's suitcase con

Police Chief James J. Lane and Su-

cash bag while they were beating up
the thickets with a party of armed
men.
Lane and Leonard found not only
the money that Dent Fowler had been
hurrying with to the Atlas brickmaE-

Mr. Fowler and the plucky negro had
been shot to death they came upon
the weapons the robbers had used in
the killing a Winchester repeating
rCne, a shotgun and two revolVers.
Searching on their hands and knees
through the wet bush they found two
caps, such as Italian laborers com
monty wear in this part of the Coun-
try, two red bandanna handkerchiets
which had been pierced with eyeholes
and used for masks; the scattered
fragments of an envelope and the let
