Return of the Coburn Players TO
Lexington

4
The Cohurn Players who so de-
lighted Lexington audiences last
spring by their performances.
Much Ado About Nothing and
Electra" will appear again Satur-
day May Is. giving in the afternoon
As You Like It" aud at night
Macbeth" The performances will
take place on the Washington and
Lee campus.
Prices. sl.O0 single performance.
$3.50 for the two; children, so cents
for each.
The Coburn Players have at
tracted widespread atteation at Co
iumbia, Harvard, Yale, Princeton,
Bryn Mawr and many other colleges
where alfresco performances have
been of unusual interest. They ap-
pear under their auspices yearly
and the heads of these institutions
are unanimous in praising the unus-
usily fine performances of this band
oil woodland players. A most inter
esting feature OF the performances
Is that they will be given with only
the sky for a roof and with q natural
background of forest with trees and
shrubs for the setting. The night
performance will be lighted by pow
erful calciums which throw the
tree-bowered stage into fine relief
and the audience into obscurity, as
1t should be. The music incidental
TO the performance is not played by
Instruments but sung by chorus
OF mems voices, rendering the
quaint old songs OF Shakespeare
day in an exquisitely entertaining
fashion. The company is 3 particu
larly good one, composed as it is of
men and women who. besides being
thoroughly competent, experienced
actors and Shakespearean students,
bring their enthusiasm to bear in
their various parts.
In the production OF the plays
the greatest care has been exercised
to insure the absolute authenticity
OF the costumes, songs and other
details of the performance.

DEAD ROBBER
IS IDENTIFIED
MAN KILLED BY FARMER AFTER
lOOTlNG SAFE AT PRUE is
WALTER JARRETT.

Muskogee, Okla. oct. 14.-The bank
robber who was shot last Saturday
by Henry Burke, a farmer, after the
man had robbed the New State bank
at Prue. was today positively identi-
fled as Walter Jarrett, craftsman
and train robber, who escaped from
the federal Jail in Muskogee early
last June while under a 25-year SEN
tence for holding up and robbing the
Missouri Pacific mail train near South
CoffJyville, Okla, on the night OF
March q, 1911.
Deputy United States Marshal Joe
Hubbard. who guarded Jarrett during
his trial here for train robbery last
spring, returned from Pawhuska to-
day. Hubbard had L photograph anc

Bertillion measurements of Jarrett
with him
Il knew it was Jarrett at first
glance, Hubbard said. He has the
telltale scar on his face and measures
up to his Jail record. He even wore
a red checked coat that he had on
the night he escaped from Jail in
Muskogee. He had however cut his
mustache off with pocket knife
The robbery of the bank at Prue
and the death of the most noted
cracksman and train robber was most
sensational. Jarrett entered the bank
before 9 o'clock in the morning, told
Cashier j. II. Conner that he wanted
all the money in the bank and sat
down and waited for the time lock TO
open at 9. Then, forcing the cashier
to gather all the ready money in
sack. he made Conner walk a mile
from town, where Jarrett had horse.
Taking the money Jarrett told Co
mer to 80 back home. Jarrett was
drinking and while riding horseback
dropped $3.50 in bills in the road.
Eight miles from Prue he was shot
down by Henry Burke, a farmer who
saw Jarrett riding his horse away.
Burke thought he had killed a horse
thief and did not know until today
that he had killed Walter Jarrett and
that he has a reward of $1,000 COM
ing to him from the government and
the state bankers association. When
he saw a man riding his horse away
he fired upon him.

BANKERS OF STATE
WAN 7 AMENDMENTS
WOULD MAKE ROBBERY BY
FORCE OF ARMS AND ExPLOS.
IVES PUNISHABLE BY DEATH.

Oklahoma City, Okla, Oct. A.
The Oklahoma Bankers association
will ask the legislature to amend the
laws and make robbery by force Of
arms, or by use of explosives, punish
able by death as a maximum penalty.
The alarming condition last week,
when two trains and five banks were
robbed in Oklahoma, can be prevent
ed, bankers say, if there is a strin-
gent law against the practice and
there is no interference with the ap-
plicaton of the penalty.
In statement issued by T. p. Mar
tin, Jr., president of the Stockyards
National Bank and chairman OF the
associations legislative committee,
it is argued that II few bank bur
glars were hung the crimes would
become less frequent, and reference
in that respect is made to the Texas
experience with the crime Of train
robbery.
