C0nfesses to Constable
In Illinois Town

Decatur. ILL.,, Feb. 26-William
Dalton who robbed Chicago bank
Of $4,000 in Liberty bonds Thurs
day, was captured today at Hey
worth, % miles north of here, ac-
cording to Jack Draper, constable.
He had all but $500 worth of the
bonds in a grip.
Draper said the youth confessed
his identity when inspection Of grip
he carried revealed bonds which
lacked only $500 of the total given
out by the bank as missing. Dalton
said he had spent the $500.
II was getting only $65 month"
Dalton told Constable Draper. II
had chance to grab these bonds
and get away, SO did it. 1 had asked
the bank for raise and they
wouldn't give it to me-
The boy Said that taking the rec
ord amount of bonds was a simple
matter. but that escape was not so
easy. He was taken for ride by
an autoist, James Dennis, while
trudging along the road to Hey
worth, heading in the general direc-
ton of the south" but with no
definite plans for escape.
Dalton was held tonight awaiting
arrival of bank officials from the
Northern Trust Company of Chica-
go, which he robbed. These officials
intimated before they left Chicago
that on account of the boys extreme
youth they would be inclined to for
give him and to give hem another
chance. fc
The lad tonight told how he tried
to evade the officers of the law by
travelling in automobiles. on foot,
electric and steam trains and on
buses, but that he was captured
largely through wide publications Of
his picture in Chicago newspapers
which reached this district
He was recognized by the son of
Constable Jack Draper, who made
the arrest and who probably will re-
ceive the $4,000 reward offered for
the boys arrest and recovery of the
bonds.
Dalton carried the bonds in a little
satchel wherein he had secreted them
when he walked out of the bank
Thursday for luncheon throughout
his flight until he reached Heyworth.
There his fondness for shooting
pool and billiards caused him to seek
a game with a stranger and while the
two knocked the balls around, the
satchel, with it's fortune, was left in a
corner where anyone might have
picked it Up and walked away had he
known of it's contents.
II read how Judge Lands had said
the bankers were partly to blame in
the case of the Ottawa, Ills. boy,
named Cary, who stole nearly $780,
000," said Dalton. THE Judge said
they should have paid Cary more. and
his case seemed to fit me. I saw the
chance to take the bonds and decid-
ed on the spur of the moment to try
to get away with them. 1t doesn't
pay, however, and I'm sorry. I'm
sorry especially for my mother and
sisters. / don't know what I can do
now"
Dalton broke down and cried when
of his mother, who is a
widow.

Gen. Macready Narrowly
Escapes Irish Ambuscade

Dublin, Feb. 27.-(By the A. Pr
That General Sir Neville Macready
commander of the troops in Ireland
was the victim of an ambuscade a
fortnight ago and still lis suffering
from a bullet wound in his shoulder,
is the report circulated in republican
circles here today. Confirmation of
the report. however, has been impos-
sible.
In republican circles it is asserted
that on the night of February IL not
one lorry, as announced officially. but
six military cars, headed by a touring
car in which were staff officers, es-
corted by two armored cars, and three
lorries from Kingstown, were attack
ed at the Merton Gates from behind
the wall of the Merton blind asylum.
The reports says that the members Of
the attacking party were not aware
that General Macready was in the lead
ing car but they were confident it
contained staff officers.
1t is stated that at least two bombs
burst in one of the lorries and that
ties resulted. The entire attacking
force, consisting OF II men, escaped
uninjured, although there were some
narrow escapes.
The above dispatch gives the first
intimation that General Macready has
been injured as result of attacks on
government forces in Ireland. The
attack to which the despatch refers
was mentioned in Belfast despatch
Sunday two weeks ago. This message
said general headquarters had report
ed that military lorry had been
bombed the night before from behind
a wall near Booterstown, South Dub
lin. It was added that unofficial re-
ports asserted that ian important per-
son. was in a private motor car ac-
companying the bomber lorry and was
the object of an attack The police,
however, denied this.
