Special to Times Republican,
Thurman, July 10.-In the search o.
county officials and detectives for the
robber who recently held up Banker H
Mccartney, of this city, some interest
ing and hitherto unpublished circum-
stances relating to another sensational
case here has been made public, and
relates to the authorship Of blackhand
letters directed to Frank King, a
wealthy farmer.
Sheriff Ryan and Detective Glenn
mons, Of Kansas City, led a posse OF
men who searched the almost impene-
trable brush and forest bordering the
Missouri river, into which the robber
disappeared after robbing Mccartney.
They were rewarded by finding the
mask, false beard and clothing which
the robber wore when he visited the
bank, but nothing more.
Boasts Of Threatening Letters.
But in the search it was revealed
that on the same day that Banker Nc
CARNEY was robbed at the bank man
very closely resembling the descrip-
ton of the robber visited the home OF
Frank king when, all members OF the
family but the, servants were absent.
The fellow, terrorized the maid into
giving him food and mingling his de-
mands with threats, against Mr.. King
and his family. He also proudly boast
ed to the maid that he was the fellow
who had been sending Mr.. King letters
demanding sums of money. These let
tiers, 1t appears, have been reaching
Mr.. King fer, more than a year but no
one but the officers and detectives had
been told OF, them and the present pub
licity has added to the, feeling in the
towards these bandits. the
bank robber and the letter writer are
believed to be the same. -. III
