canal has been finished.
Colonel Chester Harding, now en-

General Goethals was promoted and
given the right to retire by an act Of

the searchlight on his car, but Mr..
Reed failed to see the joke. Finally
he learned of the rumor afloat which

OFFICERS DISCARD
CONFESSION NOTE
Suspect in Bank Robbery
Taken for Trial Despite
Letter Of Admission.

The letter received by The World
from man signing his name Jack
Evans and confessing that he was
one of the two bandits who robbed
the Peru state bank at Peru. Kan. on
May II. was turned over to Sheriff
James Woolley yesterday while KAN
sas City officials have been informed
and are working on the case. Sher-
iff Powell of Chautauqua county
procured eXtradition papers yester-
day and left for Peru with s. l..
Schuneman of Tulsa, who is charged
with the crime.
Officers who have been working on
the case said yesterday that they
doubted very much that the letter
was written by one of the principals
In the robbery, but admitted that the
purported conversation between the
bandit and the two cashiers who were
on duty when institution was robbed
was identical with that in the let
ter.
Schuneman disclaims any know
ledge of the robbery and declares
that he had never heard of Peru until
he was arrested. The two employees
of the bank positively identified him,
however. as the man who dld the
talking and directed the handing over
of the money in the order named: !:
namely gold, dollars, currency and
half dollars.
The officials are unable to explain
the letter. 1t was hinted that the
writer might be 4 confederate Of
Schuncman's and this angle of the
case is being investigated.
Schuneman's brother, John, is now
held with Jack Letterman, in the
county Jail waiting trial for the rob
berry of the bank of Red Fork and a
bank at Sand Springs.
