Not Recognized on n Streets.

Prior to the attempted hold-up, Douglass was seen on the streets of Russellville three different after moons, but was not recognized by his father, brothers or friends Doug lass appeared on the streets dressed in khaki oYeralls, wearing a dirty cap. He wore three bandages across his nose and face, as though he had been injured. to disguise himself. With this makeup many of his best friends talked to him and did not recognize him.
 At the bank Douglass played deaf and dumb. He used a small pistol and blundered in his hold-up work. Instead of entering the door to the cage, where the cashier stayed and having the side door protected, Doug lass went directly in the front and ordered the cashier and his assistant out. This gave the cashier and his assistant chance to spread the alarm. As they ran Douglass fired one shot, relieving that he. had killed Assistant Cashier Mahan, former schoolmate. Douglass turned the gun l upon himself and fired bullet in his brain.
 The bank was surrounded, and when Douglas failed to appear, upon investigation he was found on the bank floor in a serIous condition.
 No one recognized Douglass until he was carried to the street when his brother came up anu as the bandage fell from his face, which was soft ened by the blood. he exclaimed. This Is Will Douglass, my brother"
 1t was learned today that doctors have been treating Douglass for sev- eral days and it was not known that he was leaving his home in the dis guiSed manner
