New Albany,-Ind. In an attempt
at bank robbery a seventeen-year-old
boy, Thomas Jefferson Hall, of Louis
ville, Ky., entered the Merchants'
National Eank here shortly before
noon and killed J. Hangary Fawcett,
cashier of the bank; seriously weund
ed John K. Woodward, president of
the bank, and wounded James II,
Tucker, a negro chauffeur, fatally.
Accprdins to William J. Hall, thv
boy's father, who has a furniture
store at No.' 802 South Preston street,
Louisville, young Hall hay been "a
liouEeheld tyrant." He denies that
the lad 13 insane.
"He is Bimply mean," taid the fath
er. The family is formerly of Knox,
ville, Venn.
Among young Halls effects was
found a stronsly made cabinet, lined
and outfitted like a room. It is be
lieved that the boy expected to escape
with his loot, crawling into the bot,
which was consigned to "R, J. Smith,
Kno.vvllle, Tenu ," and escape as
freight. -As
Hall came to New Albany in an au
tomobile, the property of Mrs. Walter
Escott, a resident of one of the most
fashionable districts of Louisville.
The chauffeur, James R. Tucker, a
negro, told tho police that the youth
took possession of tho automobile in
front of Mrs. Escott's home and
forced him, nt the muizle of a revol
ver, to drive hlin to New Albany.,- . -
Hall entered the bank by a rear
door, a revolver in each hand. He
nave tlia command. "Hands up,
everybody; get into the vault!" -
President- Woodward advanced to
ward the robber and attempted to
talk to him. Hall's response to Mr.
Woodward's question as to what was
wanted was two shots, which struck
the official in the arm Aud the stom
ach, inflicting dangerous wounds.
Fawcett then rushed forward, but
before he could reach the fallen presi
dent was ehot in the neck and breast,
dying a short time afterward. .

They covered him with revolvers and
the arrest was made without a fight.
The prisoner was taken to New Al

to take the prisoner. Only by a piece
of strategy was the latter's life saved,

the police. . -;.:
