Police Know Man and Wife Who Witnessed Gun
 mans Flight

Identification of the man and woman who stood in the doorway of Davidson & Leventhal's store on Main street on Sunday, Oct. 12, when Policeman James Skelly was shot and killed by Gerald Chapman, the bandit, was completed by the police today. Chief Hart said this after noon.
 The couple are man and wife and live in this city. Their names are withheld because the husband fears Chapman may at some distant date do him injury.
 According to their story, they were waiting for a trolley car when Ed ward Johnson, a hostler in a livery stable nearby, came out of an alley way and said: There are burglars in there." A minute later they heard a shot fired. Then a man whom they positively identify as Chapman, came out of the front door of the depart ment store with a revolver In his hand.
 Everybody back" he commanded. Seeing that no one would resist him. he stuck the gun in the waistband of his trousers and disappeared in the alleyway.
 It was at first believed that the man and woman were George Ander- derson, one of Chapmans pals and a notorious counterfeitert and a fe- male member of the underworld.

 In a telegram to Chairman Borah today, Mir. Knox denied the state ment made at the Chicago hearings by Frank Walsh, attorney for Sena- tor La Toilette, that trust companies and national banks had been re- quested at a recent meeting of the American Bankers association to contribute a percentage of their cap ital, "to fight La Toilette in the west" The telegram follows:
 Pickering to the recent meeting of the American Bankers associa- ton in Chicago, Sundays papers broadcast the following statements as having been read into the record of your committee by Frank Walsh, attorney for La Toilette:
 "'A speech was made requesting that all trust companies be required to give one-twentieth of one per cent of their capital and national banks one-tenth of one per cent of their capital as contributions to fight Lh Toilette in the west
 "Inasmuch as no such statement appears in the records of our con vention, of which stenotype trans cript was made, ,andto the best of my knowledge and belief no such state ment was made, would be glad to receive the name of the speaker to whom Walsh referred.
 No request has ever been made by the American Bankers assoch- ton for funds for political cam paign purposes I trust this correc- tion may be accorded by you the same opportunities for publicity as the statement read into your record by Walsh"
