KENSETT BANKER
ASSERTS BRENNAN
IS BANK R0bbER
Missourian Arrested Here
Identified by Man Who
Was Held Up.

Positive Identification of Allen Dren-
nan as the man who, at the point of
a pistol, held up Cashier Erwin Rodg-
ers and robbed the Farmers & Plant
ers' bank at Kensett, Ark, of about
5000 on October Is last, was made
yesterday morning by Mr.. Rodgers.
Mr.. Rodgers had been unable to
make positive Identification Tues
day night, because of, the poor light
in Drennan's cell and also because
of the fact that the robber' had worn
automobile goggles, which changed
his appearance materially.
brennan was brought into the office
OF Police Chief Frank Stewart yes
terday morning and pair of goggles
was adjusted to his eyes. Almost at
the first glance; Mr.. Rodgers an
nOunced:
"Thats the very man."
Because Mr.. Rodgers has shown lit
tie hesitancy in his attempts at identi-
tication of more than a dozen men ar
suspicion, his positive Identification
last night is looked upon as having
more than ordinary Importance.
Deputy Sheriff J. r. Williams of
White county arrived last night from
Searcy for the purpose of taking Dren-
nan back to that county, to stand
trial for the robbery of the bank. 1t
was late when Mr.. Williams arrived,
however, and nothing was done in
the case. Mr.. Williams will meet
Chief Stewart this morning on the
matter.
Deputy Sheriff Williams was accom-
panied by City Marshal M. H. Honey
cult of Kensett, who also is positive
brennan is the man who robbed the
bank. Mr.. .Honeycutt saw the robber
at the Kensett depot, although he did
not know at the time that the bank
had been robbed.
Sheriff B. M. Reynolds Of Rockport
Mo-, who is believed to be en- route to
Pine Bluff for brennan, had not ar
rived up to last night, but is expected
to reach here today. He telegraphed
that brennan is wanted at Rockport
but. the local officers do not know
with what viol atom brennan is cnarg-
ed in Missouri.
Until he ascertains more about the
nature Of the charges against Dren-
nan in Missouri, Chief Stewart is not
able to decide on the outcome of the
local activities in regard to the pris-
oner Because of the fact that the
Kensett affair occurred within the
state Of Arkansas. however, and the
further fact that Cashier Rodgers was
positive in his Identification, it is the
general impression that the Kensett
sheriff will be given the custody Of
the prisoner.
The arrest of brennan, whether he
is convicted of the Kensett bank rob-
berry or not, is looked upon as an.
