declaring he was starving and was
tired of the continued struggle to
evade justice. Manker will be re-
turned to Pike county to stand trial.
Markers name was as good as a
gold bond in Pearl before his flight
He was held to be above theft. His
wife, a leader of the small town so
ciety that f1ourished in Pearl, was
unprepared for the blow that fell
on her. She trusted her husband,
as did all of his acquaintances, to
the utmost.
HAD GREAT FEAR OF ROBBERS.
Bank robbers were especially OBJ
noXious to Manker. and when they
blew several safes in Illinois villa
lagos he began to fear for the funds
of his own bank His bank doors
were made of as fine a steel as could
be found, but ingenious burglars had
found a way to drill their way to
the riches stored in the supposed
!,
slant fear was for his depositors.
OF an inventive turn of mind Man
ker invented a compound to be plac-
ed in the combination OF his safe.
When the lock was tampered with or
exploded the fumes from the poi
sonous compound were designed to
overcome anybody in the room, and
incidentally lead to the capture of
the thieves. His patent was tried
without success in several small
banks and Manker decided to go into
the investigation further.
IMPROVEMENTS FAIL.
He needed funds. OF course his
invention would prove a boon to the
banking world and the means of a
fortune to it's inventor, were the
thoughts OF the bank president. He
took the funds of the bank. I'm
provement after improvement on his
invention failed. Then he fed.
In accounting for his wanderings
since he left Pearl, in November,
1903, Marker says he first went with
his family to Philadelphia. There
they bought a boarding house,
90 Il
with his family about the country,
working as a carpenter. His wife
and daughter established a boarding
house at Eagle, near Lincoln, Neb.,
where they now live.
