PittsburG, Pa-Joseph Kaufman
10 years old. Chicago electri-
clan. has returned s4.240 to the Off
cials OF the Homestead Bank, which
was robbed by two men on Aug. IL.
with the confession that he was a
participant against his will In the rob
berry.
He said a man known to him a.
Frank Wilson. but who has been iden-
tiled from photographs in police gal

robbsr, who recently broke Jail after
robbing q bank at Altoona. Pa, com
PEELED him. at the point OF a revolt
yer. to assist in the robbery. and that
he had been conscience stricken ever
since.
Posing ms q wealthy youg banker,
and giving his name as Frank Wilson,
Hohl made the acquaintance Of yong
Kaufman in a pool room In Chicago
early In July. Kaufman says in his
confessed that Wilson" spent money
lavishly and treated him so as to win
his friendship. In August he pro-
posed an automobile trip to Pittsburg
and asked Kaufman to go with him
as his guest Kaufman consented will
ingly, and they started in big yell
low car.
At Newark, o., Hohl told Kaufman
that he was not q banker, but bank
robber. and that they were then on
their way to rob bank at Home
stead. kaufman refused to have any
thing TO do with the affair and then
Hohl. according to the confession,
whipped out q revolver and threat
ened to kill his young companion un-
less he agreed to do what he was
told.
That night. fearing that he might
run away, Hohl Is said to have tied
kaufman to him with rope. Next
day when a couple miles out Of
Homestead. the men left the automo-
bile and walked into the town, after
taking cocain to steady their nerves
and make them daring, as Hohl ex-
planned. Hohl then gave Kaufman a
revolver. loaded with blank cartridges
and drilled him In his part OF tho
coming robbery. explaining that he
was to stand on the outside OF the
bank and fire the blank cartridges
at anyone who might attempt to in
terrupt the robbery.
Kaufman did as ordered. and while
Hohl went into the bank and held
up the cashier. he fired several shots
at pedestrians ATTRACTED to the place
by the sound OF Hollis shots.
Kaufman became so uneasy about
his part in the robbery that he went
to an attorney in Chicago, who ad-
vised him to make immediate resi-
tuition. He did so. but the news was
suppressed Until the present time by
detectives who hoped to trap Hohl
~ he should attempt to communicate
with Kaufman.

The fight Just before daybreak was
the most violent OF all. The Germans
appeared to throw into the charge all
that remained OF their energy, but

Before retiring behind their big
guns they sacrificed many of their
number, displaying resolution which
approached desperation. A vigorous
counter-sttack from the allies ensued.
during which small extent OF ground
was gained.
More Furious Than Ever.
The night OF the 18th was relative
ly calm along the front, but next day
the fighting became more furious than
ever. During the darkness operations
are rendered difficult owing to the re-
Iuctance Of the opposing commanders
to use searchlights. which might ex-
pose their positions.
After this stage of the fight was con.
cluded the Germans appeared to re-
tire about seven miles. During the
combat the adyersaries in many in
stances came to hand-to-hand clashes,
and the bayonet was extensively used.
The carnage was terrifying, but the
troops OF both armies appear to have
been hardened to such scenes and
fought with great GOODNESS.
