Army Bank, was. perhaps fatally wounded tonight at 8 o'clock by Cap- tain Lewis J. Whisler, who had robbed the bank, > The bank had closed for the day | when the captain knocked on the door and asked to be admitted. Those on the inside seeing that he was an officer, let -him in. He cov- ered them with a revolver and made them go behind the counter, where he lined them up with their faces to the wall and ordered Wornall to tie; their hands behind them. He then! tied the hands of Wornall himself. | After helping himself to what money | he wanted he started to go out when | a caustic remark on the part of Win-, ters cost himself and his companions, their lives. “You know him, don’t you,” said Winters to Kearney Wornall, whom the officer had compelled to tie the, hands of the others at the point of his; service revolver, “Sure I do,” said Wornall. The captain-bandit was half way | out of the door, He turned back, | “You know me do you!” he asked. “J sure do, you black scoundrel,” , rejoined Winters. | For a moment, the robber hesitat- j ced as if studying some scheme of es-! cape. A moment later the hesitancy | vanished and he came back and com- ; menced swing a small ax that he had | borrowed from the supply company: earlier in the evening. He was no jsatisfied with giving the death, blow to each victim as they struggled help- | lessly, but pounded and mutilated ‘them almost beyond recognition. Wornall was the last one struck and ifor some reason the fiend did not complete his task so thoroughly as with the others. At any rate a few | minutes later the cashier was able to struggle from the building and was found on the street in a dazed condi- tion by a sentry. No one saw the murderer as he left the building. | After he left the bank he went to his quarters where he. changed his clothes and hed some of the blood from his hands. The .clothes were afterwards found, soaked with blood, | between the foot of his cot and the wall. He then went to a cafe, where he ordered a cup of coffee and a piece | of pie. Saturday morning he attend- | ed a meeting of officers where the, murder was discussed. About noon) an order was issued that all captains | report at headquarters and have prints of their fingers taken. Shortly after two o'clock in the afternoon two shots were heard in the captain's quarters and investigators found the huddled form of the murderer on the floor, He had committed suicide by | placing the muzzle of a service rifle to his head and pulling the trigger. The first shot only made a_ flesh wound but the second went through the head causing instant death, The body was taken to the hospital where Wornall, who had regained — con- sciousness identified him as the ro- ber and murderer. Whisler was about go years old! and v a veteran of the Spanish American war, and previous to enter- ing the training camp last sumimer was a railway postal clerk with a run out Gf Salina. ———o Unknown Men Burn Navy Beans. | The Windsor Review gives an ac- count of a bean stack containing from 500 to Coo bushels of navy beans being set on fire by two unknown men on the night of December 26th.
