8$ leto No. 148 NEW BERN. N. C, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 10 1913 SECOND SECTION 35th TEAR BANDITS 10 UP CONNECTICUT MAN Get Sixteen Thousand Dollars Prom Velvet Company's Cashier. SOLDIERS ARE IN PURSUIT One Suspect Captured Another Thought To Be In A Swamp. Stonington, Conn., Oct. Two hundred soldiers 'of,, the United States Coast Artillery, acting as a volunteer posse, rounded up one man and are to night surrounding a farm and a swamp land on the outskirts of this city in the hope of capturing a second man, both believed to be highwaymen, who in broad daylight here today held up Carl A. Koeib, paymaster of the big Abidjan Velvet Company's mills, and robbed him of a satchel, containing 'l'o.OOO in cash. The robbers tn their flight after the crime hid the satchel in a hole in a stone wall, which they had already prepared for. the booty's concealment, but their movements were observed by a woman from the window of a house nearby, and on her information the satchel containing every cent of the ,$16,000 was recovered. The soldiers who took up the cause and led other posses of men from the town and farmers and three hundred factory employees, all of them armed, were regulars from Fort H. G. Wright at Fisher's Island and Fort Terry on Plum Island, brought inland for a cross-country Mke and general manoeuvres. When the news of the extraordinary brazen robbery came'to Col. Davis, the com mander, he immediately assigned his soldiers to the man hunt. F r eight hours thev stalked two men taij ough a cemetery on the outskirts of th; town and into a tangle of forest known as "Witches' Woods" and then to a . swampland and finally to the Charles Davis farm at Waqueteqnock where one suspect was taken a surly man wearing a soldier's overcoat over civilian's clothing and who refused ab solutely to tell his name or anything else concerning himself. It is thought, however, the employees of the factory may be abie,to recognise the prisoner if 'he is one of the guilty men, for it is evident that the robbers were persons acquainted with the manner in which Cashier Koelb was in the habit of trans porting fortnightly the cash for the semi-monthly pay roll. The United States regulars widened their scouting line to take several miles of territory and then closed in upon the cemctexy not far from the town. Then the advance soldiers got sight of two men dodging among the tombstones. A shout was raised and soldiers and farm ers came flocking toward the cemetery, but the two-men were elusive and the lines closed in to find that the- quarry hail slipped through. Ak 'in the soldiers widened their lines and advanced and this time closed in on ''Witches wood," against catching sight of two men flitting through the trees. But agin the quarry got away. On the third mancouvre, however, made in a section of country including the Davis farm and the swampland, the suspect held here tonight was caught and the other man is said ab clutcly to be cornered in the swamp. But darkness fell so completely that soldiers and citizens could do no more than picket the territory till morning thotgh several futile attempts were made at searching with lanterns and torches.

Z. R. Davis, of Cpve City. n which each of the defendents were harged with an assault. Owirur to the nrominenre of the nar- ties Interested, the case attracted more than usual attention, -he alleged assaul - took place last July near the Davis home at Cove City and grew out of a grievance in regard to the super vision of the roads in that section by one of the Davis beys. While returning home one afternoon Mr. Wadsworth and the Messrs. Davis had an altercation which cul minated in a fight and Mr. Wadsworth came out second best ih the encounter. He claimed that a knife was used on him and there were a number of cuts about his head. The Davis bovs stoutly declared that Mr. Wadsworth was the one who had the knife. The case was hard fouehr from the very first during day the a laree number of witnesses were examined. After the testimony had been taken the attor neys hoffan thpir nrflrilmonta aA tlita took up considerable time and it was late in the day when the case went to the iurv. In retnrn'inar their verdict the jury cleared Mr. Wadsworth and found the Davis brothers, ruiltv.

Miss Ruth Hildreth was killed out right and her sister Dorothy critically injured. Lieutenants Richardson and .Bellin ger, of the United States Navy A via Hon Corps, and Mr. Beachey himself suffered cuts, bruises and sprains. A large crowd of spectators had gathered in anticipation of the exhibi- tion andVto gain a good view the Misses Hildreth, with Lieutenants Bellinger and Richardson, climbed to the top , of a small buildingg used as a head quarters for the naval aviators. There they were" seated as Beachey flew back and forth across the field, Beachy, recognizing the party, dipped his machine in salute and his recognition was returned. He next flew to the end of the field, turned and came back. When directly over the heads of the party on top of the building Beachy's machine was seen to dip dangerously and immediately some part of the aero plane came so close to those on the roof at to sweep all to the ground, a distance of some 8 or 10 feet. The aeroplane careened wildly and then plunged downward 25 to 30 feet. So precipitate was the landing that Beachey was unseated and the machine wrecked.

B. Aleshire of the U. S. War De partment and the House Military Committee, John M. Faison states that $15,6000 will be appropriated for rebuilding this National Cemetery road. This appropriation, though badly needed for years, has not been allowed because of some controversy as to "whether the War Department should build the road or the city of New Bern join with War Department In building it. Recently the records have disclosed the fact that New Bern deeded this road to the U. S. Government after widening the road and paying damages to pro perty owners on either side upon con dition of the U. S. Government main taining said road. An Army Engineer haa, recently, been detailed to re-survey this road , reported its bad condition and estlma- CONFESSED SLA YER IS Chicago Detectives Place Little Confidence In Henry Spencer's Yarns Says He Has Killed reopie who Are Known To Be Alive Chicago, III., Oct. 7. After twen ty-four hoars of investigation Chi cago detectives were willing to De- neve tonight that Henry Spencer, self-confessed slayer of Mrs. Mildred Allison-Rexroat, and nearly a score of others, is one of the most brilliant ly entertaining liars with whom the police have come in contact with in long time. In fact, as one of the sleuths expressed it, the "confession" bids fair to go down in the police re cords as the "dream of an opium fiend" rivalling D Quincey's confes eioas of an opium eater. The net result of the police ac tivity of the day was to establish a fairly good case against Spencer as the murderer of the tango teacher, who was lured to the country by the prom Ue of a class at Wayne and there shot to death on the railroad tracks near the town west of Chicago, and her body left on the tracks for muti lation by a train.

Among the sensational successes of the stage during the past season were fairy plays, crook plays and problem plays dealing with the race questioa. It la of course impossible at this writing to predict what will be the successes of the coming teasoa, but we feci safe in .taring that the public never tire, of clever dramatisations of famous novel. Thomas Dixon's greatest novel "The Leopard's Spot." bat been dramatised by its author atd under bis personal dct on will be presented at the Ma ing that the .accident had resulted fatally to any ene of the party. Ruth, the younger of the sisters was un- conscious when reached, blood gushing from a gaping wound in her head. other sister was likewise uncon- scious, but Lieutenants Bellinger and Richardson were able to rise with help. A physician was soon on the scene and pronounced Ruth dead. Ih falling her head had struck upon the projecting sharp corner of an automobile and had been crushed. The other sister was (removed to the home of John Scott, near by, and it was there ascertained that she suffered a broken arm and broken leg, and that her chest was crushed in. Her condition is critical. Lieutenants Bellinger and Richardson escaped with several bruise and cuts that are not o! a serious nature. Beachey, in falling, had sprained his arm and ankle, yet he managed to be about the field soon after the accident. His despair because of the fatality was pitiful, and he declared again and again that he would far rather it had been his life than of anyone else. He explained that as he reached the point directly over the Naval Building he momentarily lost control of his machine, because his foot slipped from one of the controls; that the machine then dipped and that as it did so the rear trailer caught the party on the roof, throwing them to the ground and causing the machine to take a wild plunge and unseat him. Much sympathy is expressSd for Beachey, as well as for the Hildreth family. Will Be Appropriated For ted the cost of rebuilding, it at about $15,600 which estimate has been ap proved by Brig, Gen. Aleshire, and In cluded in the general Army Appro priation Bill. Dr. Faison has been assured by Gen. Aleshire and Chairman Hay of the Military Committee that this amount will be available July 1, 1914, and the road be then completed as soon as possible thereafter, as the War Department admits that it has been neglected for at least six years. New Bern, at a great expense, has paved its beautiful streets with brick and the rebuilding of this splendid road, on which is situated the City cemetery, will add much to the beauty of this city. Dr. Faison congratulates New Bern and thinks there will be !no trouble in the future in getting the War Department to repair its ceme- tery road when needed. THE CHAMPION LIAR and sheriffs in various sections of the country denying that crimes in the Spencer confession had ever been committed visited Chief of De tectives John J. Halpin, all of the af ternoon and this evening and ex ploded piecemeal the long story that the prisoner had narrated. "There is absolutely no doubt that Spencer murdered Mrs. Rexroat," said the chief of the detectives tonight. "In his confession he has gone into minute details of that affair." Positive identification of Spcncer as the man who accompanied Mrs. Rexroat to several cafes the- night before her murder was made this af ternoon by a lawyer named Carl White. pencer' drawling voice, the voice supposed to have lured Mrs. Rexorat to her death, was identified tonight bv Mrs. Sadie Johnson, with whom Mrs. Rexroat lodged, as the voice she had heard over the telephone the night of the murder. tonic Theatre on October 13.

Let the small boy make the noise of the neighborhood and he caret not who doe tht work. It Sounded like Thunder By F. A. MfTCHEL I met Lillle Longman and was Intro duced to her at a barn dance. I fell head over heels In love with her at once. There was some attempt at fan cy costume among the girls, and Lillle waa dressed like an Indian girl, her long black hair hanging below her waist I knew scarcely any one there and stood watching a set of dancers who were doing a quadrille or some other of those old fashioned square dances. Lillle was bobbing about, feel ing happy in the consciousness of look ing very pretty and showing her longl locks, and all the while she was firing quick shots at tile with her black eyes. After the dance 1 hunted for some one to Introduce me to Ulue and was successful. The girl had known I was watching her In the dance, and every one of her antics was for me. I wasn't a dancing man and persuaded her to sit out a dance with me. Then a nice looking, dapper young fellow took her for another dance, and I looked on again. This time her antics were for me all the same, but they wefts of an other kind. She flashed her eyes alter nately at mo and Into those of the fel low she dnneed with. I was too stupid to see through this feminine device then, and it had Its effect Quite likely it would have worked Just as well with me If I had seen through It When a eirl wishes to attract and a fellow wishes to be attracted it's the easiest job In the world. It wasn't long before I was going to see Lillle. She was an orpnan ana lived with her grandmother, an old lady deaf as a trolley car conductor whose car Is, Jammed full of strap hangers. She was half blind too. But she must have heard by contact with substances If she didn't hear through the air, and, as for seeing, the darker It was the better chance she had of distinguishing objects. She was like other deaf and blind persons In that respect She couldn't see or hear what she should see and hear, but bad re markable facilities for detecting what was most Inconvenient for others for her to know. About the time I made LUUe's ac quaintance her grandmother was tak en with her last illness. Lillle loved the old lady, and her approaching demise waa. an affliction to the niece. As for roe, I was but twenty-one years old and had years before me in which to do courting, but so impatient was I that I grudged the old lady what little time she needed from Lillle. I feared I would be too old for matrimony be fore the Invalid got Into her grave and ceased to require attention. Now that I look back on this period I can see that I was very unreasonable. I would go to the bouse and wait a whole evening for Lillle while she re mained upstairs with her grandmother, hoping every minute that she could come downstairs for a brief sitting with me. One evening when I had waited a couple of hours In this way I concluded, considering that the old wo man was blind and deaf and her Im perfect senses must be further dead ened by Illness, to go upstairs to the sickroom, steal in and tee If I couldn t get a word with Lillle I tiptoed np the staircase and to the door of the room, which fortunately. 1 round ajar. uiiie was situug in chair where she could see me. She came to the door, and I told her that If she couldn't come to me I was bound to go to ber. She went back Into the room, turned the light very low and beckoned' tt to enter. There was a sofa placed where the invalid could not very well see It I stole-toward it and Lillle and I sat down side by aide with our arms around each other. We whispered more love than today, at fifty, I could talk in a year, and to be beard by each other, we scarcely needed to whisper, for whan I spoke my Hps toncbed her coral ear, and when she spoke her lips were a mil llonth of an Mich from mine. "Who's there?" came from the in valid. Lillle arose, went to the bed and asked her grandmother If she wanted anything. She replied that she thought she beard whispering. Lillle told her that the must be mistaken, put her band on the sick woman's head to soothe her and told her abe bad better try to get a little steep. Whether grandma waa satisfied with this or not she said no more, and Lil lle, after coddling her awhile, came back to me. I had been wishing I couM burst the remains of the drum of the old lady's ear with a ramrod, but when Lillle came back I felt bet ter. However, we rJhjhVt think It pro dent to do any more- whispering and refrained. I took t fiocU from my pocket mid some old letters and wrote what I had to' say vary snort sen tences.
