Pensacola, Fla, Sept. 25.-William
H. Bell the 19-year-old bank clerk
who last night confessed to stealing
the package of $4,000 from the First
National bank here, was arraigned by

in taking the money from the bank
CT in returning it to the back door of
the bank, where it was found by the
negro janitor. His bond was fixed at
$4,000.
In his confession, made public to-
day, Bell declared he yielded in a mo-
ment of weakness in taking the
money, but after he had it he did
not know what to do with it. He said
he desired to be sentenced for his
crime as quickly as possible.
Bell was not under suspicion up to
the time he presented himself to the
bank president and confessed to the
crime.

CLERK CONFESSES THEFT $4,000
Young Man Admits Taking Package in
PenSacOla-Tells to Protect
Brother.

Pensacola, Fla, Sept. 24-William
H. Bell, 20 years old, a bank clerk
tonight confessed that he robbed the
local First National bank Tuesday OF
a package containing $4,000 of the
Louisville & Nashville railroads pay
roll and substituted bogus package
in it's place. Fear tnat the officers
would suspect his brother is said to
have caused Bell to confess.
The young bank clerk has been III
the employment Of the local bank >fo7
two years. In his colfe ssion to de-
tectives he declared that he planned
to secure the money week before
the payroll was made up. Last Sun
day he made bogus package, simi'er
in shape and size to the payroll pack
age of money, filled with magazine
slips
Tuesday afternoon when the Louis
vile & Nashville payroll was being
fixed for shipment, he slipped the
package containing the $4,000 into
his locker and substituted the pack
age of paper in it's place.
No one noticed the change and the
bogus package, together with ship
ment of $4,000, was taken to the ex-
press Office and receipted.
Tuesday night Bell took the pack
age of money to his home in suit
case. Activities by detectives and Of
fcials when the robbery became
known caused him to return the
money Saturday.
He wrapped the package in a news
paper and after notifying the cashier
of the First National bank where the
missing money would be found, he
placed it on the back steps of the
bank building
The cashier disregarded the anony-
nous telephone message. The pack
age was found after it had been on the
steps several hours by the janitor.

$4,000 RETURNED BY ROBBER.
Missing Package Found on Bank Steps
by Janitor-Detectives Hot on
Trail.

Pensacola, Fla, Sept 23:-As re-
suit of the mysterious return to the
First National bank, some time last
night, of the $4,000 stolen while being
delivered to the Louisville and Nash
vile pay car at Flomaton, several days
ago, conference was held tonight
between officials of the bank and pri-
vate detectives and special agents in
vestigating the robbery.
At a late hour it was stated that an
arrest was momentarily expected.
The package containing the money
was in the original wrapping as made
up by the bank employees, it is aid,
and was enclosed in a newspaper. 1t
was found this morning lying against
the grating Of the back door of the
bank by the negro janitor, who first
thought it a pair of old shoes. This
indicates, according to the officials,
that some one with previous knowl-
edge, had prepared in advance the
dummy package containing magazine
pages, which was found in place of
the money when the shipment was
opened in the Louisville and Nashville
pay car.
Detectives Hot nn tho Trail
Burns and Pinkerton detectives and
special agents of the Southern Ex-
press company are hot on the trail of
the man.
They claim the package of currency,
in its original package, was found
wrapped this morning in a morning
Journal published on Thursday morn
ing. 1t had been placed at the back
door of the bank some time during the
night and had rested there unnoticed.
The janitor had occasion to go to the
door, and opening the inside door saw
a package resting against the iron
grating. He thought it was pair of
old shoes, but when he picked it up
the paper dropped off and he saw
plainly labelled this package contains
$4,000" He tok it to the bank Off
Gals and the latter identified it as the
original package intended for the pay
master of the Louisville & Nashville
Railroad company.

walls.
81 believe in giving a convict, who
has behaved himself in prison, an
other chance in the world. But 1t
would, of course, be out of the ques-
ton to unlock the penitentiary doors
and turn everybody loose. I have
seen all the prisoners in the peniten-
tiary lined up-the white men on one
side and the negroes on another. And
I am sorry to say that on the whole
the faces of the white men were mean
er and more vicious than those of the
negroes. The faces of some OF the
white convicts are so sullen and mean
as to be absolutely repulsive. 1t would
be- out of the question to pardon these
fellows, for they would he more than
likely to kill the men responsible for
their conviction, or burn down their
houses
Governor Blease said he believed
the people approved of his pardon rec
ord, and that instead of hurting him
it had actually helped to re-elect him.
"Pardon Brokerage" Charges.
Speaking of the charge that it was
impossible to get a pardon except
through certain lawyer friends of the
governor, Mr.. Blease remarked that
Joshua Ashley, of Anderson county, a
farmer, had probably obtained more
pardons than any other man. Mr..
Blease also remarked that he had
granted a number of pardons at the
solicitation of men who opposed him
in politiest, mentioning Frank Tomp-
kins, attorney for Judge Jones; Chris
tie Benet, secretary of the Democratic
State executive committee. and T. B..
Butler, mayor of Gaffney, as political
enemies to whom he had granted such
favors.
In this connection Sam J. Nichols,
who was present during the conversa-
ton, stated that although he had been
spoken of as the one man through
whom pardons could be obtained in
Spartanburg county, as matter OF
fact he had been interested in only
three of 27 cases of executive clemency
in this county.
The governor discussed the reports
that the lawyers designated as par
don brokers' were paid for the par
don. Mr.. Blease said it was no more
than right that these lawyers should
charge fees for their professional ser
vices in drawing up and circulating
the petitions for the pardon.
He said if he had been rewarding
his close lawyer friends by throwing
a big pardon business their way he
would have directed all applicants
for pardons to his brother, Eugene.
or his former law partner, Fred Dom
mick. But as matter of fact, he said,
these men had not asked him for a
single pardon, except that Eugene
Blease has transmitted the applica-
tions of others in a couple of cases. :

made up of old magazines, the sheets
being cut to the size of a silver certl-
ficate or bank note The money had
evidently been resting against the
bank door for several hours, for it
had been out in the rain which came
down in a downpour during the night,
and the newspaper in which it was
wrapped dropped off when the janitor
picked it up.
The rear of the bank is enclosed by
a brick wall about five feet high and
the door at which the money was
placed was only about five feet from
this wall. The party returning it eth
er threw it over the wall against the
door or else scaled the wall and de-
posted the package where it was
found.
Notified by Telephone.
A peculiar thing connected with the
return of the money was that Satur-
day night Assistant Cashier w. N.
Roberts received a telephone message
at his house from party giving no
name and leaving the phone as soon
as he had spoken few words. This
party said: "You will find what you
lost at the banks back door,"
The party doing the telephoning
first made a mistake and got the wrong
Roberts. He telephoned to the home
of Cashier Clyde w. Roberts, of the
Pensacola State bank, and delivered
such a message, but was told that the
cashier had not lost anything. He
then telephoned to w. N. Roberts, but
that official thought some one was at
tempting practical joke on him and
refused to go out in the rain to the
bank to take look The various
Burns and Pinkerton men, who have
been securing evidence, called the ex-
press and bank officials into confer
ence tonight, and it is expected that
there will be arrests in the case with
in a feWs hours.
