 CASE DEC.

ALBANY, Nov. 12.-The Court of Appeals today set the arguments in the cases If ex-Police Lieut.. Becker and the four gunmen under sentence of death for the killing of Herman Rosenthal for Dec. l. The gunmen's cases previously had been set for Nov. IF. A statement given out by the court explained that the new date was chosen in order that Chief Judge Cullen and Judge Gray. who retire on Dec. 31, may participate in the decisions. Said the statement:
 "rhe records are voluminous, and it is necessary, under the plenary power conferred upon the court in capital cases, that the whole evidence should be read and examined, besides which the cases may involve nice questions of all what will require careful consideration. The court should not feel constrained to hurry its deliberations because of the nec- essity of rendering a decision before 2 given time. On the day that has been fixed for thu arguments, Dec. l, full court will be constituted, of which neither Chief Judge Cullen nor Judge Gray will form a part"

 A band of militants interrupted the morning service at Westminster Alb. bey last Sunday by chanting the words:

PARIS.--A notorious thief con demned to twenty years penal servi- tude in French Guiana. whither he is to be sent tomorrow. petitioned the governor of the prison in which he is confined for permission to marry his sweetheart. The governor consent ed and the ceremony took place to- day. The convict bridegroom, pale out self-possessed. was at first hand cuffed, with warder standing at each elbow. He raised his manacled hands together to pass the wedding ring to the brides finger, and burst into tears. When the ceremony was over the convict pleaded with the warders to be allowed to kiss his bride once. The warders stood back while the wife flung hcr arms round her husbands neck. After a little pause the warders led the prisoner away for his twenty years exile.

MASKED BANDITS
 ROB A BANK
Make Getaway With $10,o0O and Have Running Fight With Citizens
 One Hundred Shots Fired.

NEW HAZELTON, B. C., Nov. 12.- Five masked robbers entered the Union bank here today and shot the cashier before he had chance to draw his gun, which was under the desk counter, then they stole $10,O00 and made their getaway in spite of the fight made by the police and citi- zens, who opened fire upon the ban dits.
 The citizens kept up the fight for twenty minutes, following the fleeing bandits until they stole an automo. bile and disappeared. More than a hundred shots were fired and several citizens were slightly injured.
 The Northwest mounted police have started to trail the robbers and a description of them has been tele. graphed to all towns through which the men are likely to pass.
 The cashier, it is expected, will live, the ball having passed through no vital organ.
