CASHIER IN PLOT
Knocked on Head When
$4,000 Was Stolen.
THREE IN CONSPIRACY
Robbery Traced to Him When He
Buys Expensive Furs for
His Sweetheart.

NIAGARA FALLS, Ont, January l.
Cashier William Dobson today confessed
to Chief Mains of the Ontario police
that he and two others planned and exc
cuted the robbery here last November,
when $4,000 consigned to Toronto banks
was stolen after an alleged sensational
hold-up in which Cashier Dobson's head
was cut open with piece of lead pipe.
Purl s. Whistlers, an express messen-
ger. and Charles J. Flynn. formerly of
New York city. who came to the Amer
lean falls two years ago and opened a
saloon. are under arrest as accomplices.
Dobson's Plausible Story.
AS Dobson told the thrilling story aft
er the robbery, two foreigners came
into the offices just as train pulled
packages of money consigned to Toronto
banks to put on board the train.
One of the foreigners asked if a parcel
had been received for him. AS Dobson
leaned over to pick up book he received
a stunning blow on the head. Dobson's
head was cut open. When the agent hur-
ried in to see what was delaying the
cashier he was found lying unconscious
and the money was gone
Crack Was Too Hard.
The crack on the head was part of the
plot, Dobson confessed today. The man
engaged to do this part of the work ex-
ceeded his instructions The fact that the
cashier was SO badly hurt served to divert
suspicion from him for a long time.
One of the detectives was convinced,
however that DobSon had a hand In the
robbery, and has been watching him pa
tiently for weeks. The purchase of val
liable furs by Dobson for his sweetheart
gave him the first clue.

All day the breeze swayed
Cherry back and forth on her
long. slender stem, for the suns
kisses had gradually changed the
pretty white blossom to a tiny
green ball which was now begin
ming to turn a faint red.
Cherry had seen many of her
brothers and sisters taken from
Mother Tree by ying creatures
called birds. Deep in her little
stone heart she had wished a
bird would come and take hec.
too, in his bill. and fly away
ever and ever SO far, that she
might see some of the great
world that was beyond the or
chard. AS Cherry and the breeze
played hide-and-seek among the
leaves, up came Robin Redbreast,
and the next minute he had seized
her in his bill, was flying through
the orchard and straight toward a
house. when swoop came a black
bird, frightening poor Robin so
that he dropped Cherry. My!
| how her little stoneh cart beat
as the blackbird came flying down
after her!
Away flew the bird and Cherry
past the farm house and fields to-
ward a pond, when suddenly her

levident from his cries that he
wanted Cherry, who was suddenly
dropped by the blackbird. She fell
lby the edge of the pond, where
she witnessed battle royal.

Gardner into Carolyn's ear as
they walked onward. "He's got
the right idea. Once a couple have
decided to marry, why should
they wait? He got the right

The girl said nothing in reply.
Presently the couple before them
turned in the huge, somber
court house. In one room a
light was burning, and toward
this the two couples proceeded
down the dark, damp hall. Gard
ner and Carolyn stopped in the
doorway of the room and looked
curiously about. A man, evident
lly a minister, was greeting the
Icouople and rapidly wrote their
answers in ponderous book.
Then a document was prepared
and handed to the man. The
preacher now took a hand.
Well" the minister cried.

now. but where are your wit

The man looked around with
a dazed expression until his eyes
lighted on Gardner and Carolyn.
Then he frightened perceptibly.
Will you two do the witness

he looked fear melted from his
heart, for In her wildly blushing
face was only great Joy and as
