INMATE
OF ASYLUM HELD
UP BANK TELLER
Kept Family of Banker in
TerrOr-Kills Himself
When Trapped

Alliance, o., July 17-(UP) -
John B. Cox, so, escaped inmate
of the Lima State hospital. COM
mitted suicide today after being
trapped by police in the home of
a bank teller whom he held cap
tive for Is hours. A squad of po-
lice under Chief Harry L. Stark
was surrounding the home of
John D. Boyd, teller for the first
National Bank of Alliance, when
Cox shot himself.
Family Terrorized
In the house at the time were
the teller swife and his 1S-year-
old daughter, Elizabeth. They had
been terrorized and held prisoners
while Cox attempted to persuade
Boyd to go to the bank and take
out $4,000. Boyd told police that
Cox, a former .schoolmate, invaded
his home late yesterday, threaten
ed the family with death and then
ordered the teller to return to the
bank and obtain the money. Boyd
protested that the vaults could not
be opened until this morning, so
Cox sat down to wait. During the
evening several friends of the
Boyds visited them. Throughout
their stay Cox kept a revolver hid
den in his pockets.
Cut Telephone Wires
Mrs. Boyd and Elizabeth were
permitted to go to their rooms on
the second floor after Cox severed
telephone wires. They were on the
second floor when Cox committed
suicide.
Boyd escaped from the house to-
day under the pretext of going to
the bank to get the money. Instead
he notified police.
Cox was sent to Ohio peniten-
tiary about IL years ago after he
had been convicted of the kidnap-
ing and robbery of F. A. Holes,
newspaper publisher. He was
transferred to Lima in 1881 and
escaped the following year.

Local P. O. Substitutes
Awaiting 'fGood Nelus .

while substitutes who now re-
ceive no post office work ex-
cept a few days at Christmas
may receive partial employ
ment each week.
The bill has the support of
the national organizations of
clerks and letter carriers, who
hail it as a real step Of pro-
gress. It has also been approx
ed by the post office depart
ment through Postmaster
General James A. Farley.
Postmaster General Farley
urged the immediate passage
of the bill by Congress.
Because of curtailment of
expenditures by the post office
department during the past
several years, the waiting lists
of substitutes in the postal SER
vice has remained stagnant.
In this city, as elsewhere in
the country, postal substitutes
have gone no further toward
employment as regulars"
1t is not yet definitely
known whether the enactment
of the measure and its taking
effect in October will mean the
promotion of substitute car
riers and clerks to regular"
posts, but it will at least bring
them more hours of work per
week, and will give the regu-
lar postal workers two free
days out of each seven.

Youths "Jugged" For
Disobeying Judge

Two 17-year-old Brooklyn
boys had a teste this morning
of what jail confinement is
like, and, from appearances,
they didn't like 1t a bit.
The lads were arrested sew
cral weeks ago for breaking
a store window and ordered
to pay for the shattered pane.
They failed to do so and were
arraigned in city court again
this morning.
Sitting what was going to

Grath looked severely on the
lads and said lacOmically

The boys smiles vanished,
and they walked at a real
prisoners pace as Sergt. John
Brickel led them to the "pen"
i'm the city court room, pre-
paratOry to the usual proce-
dure of bringing them down.
stairs and starting for New
Haven county Jail.
The youths stared despair
ingly out through the bars,
looking as mOurnful and de-
jected as could be when court
came to a close. But a mo.
<mcnt later, Sergt. Brickel let
the lads out, telling them the
judge had decided to let them
go IL they paid for the window
today.
From the way the two
sprinted out of the courtroom,
the window must have been
paid for in five minutes or less.

Request for a 1887 fiscal year
budget of approximately As mil.
lion dollars for operation of the
District government will be made
to the Budget Bureau this week
by the Commissioners.
Finishing touches on the final
estimates are being prepared in
the office of Auditor Daniel j.
Donovan. 1t is expected the com.
pleted budget will be forwarded
to the Federal bureau Wednes-
day.
With all departments suffering
slashes in their requests for addi-
tional funds, the 45-nillion-dollar
budget will be eight million dol
lars less than the grand total
sought by the various department
heads. Further cuts will be made
in the estimates at the Budget
Bureau.
The 45-million-dollar budget
represents an increase of four
and one-half million dollars over
the appropriation allowed for the
current year and seven million
dollars over the year which ended
last June 30.
