Caught at Bank. y were caught, J. E as they entered the bank. The sheriff and his posse had been trailing the men in connection with a highway robbery which occurred a few hours earlier, and had just come on them as they were going in the bank. Sheriff Keeton, who with Deputy H. F. Moore and Chief Hester, was trailing the men, said the trio held up and robbed James Johnson, negro taxi driver of Florence, A It was for this crime that the officers were searching for the men Johnson was hired by Smith and Frank at Florence early Tuesday morning. He drove them to a point near Barton, where they were met by Tripett. The trio forced Johnson to drive them into the woods and then tied him to a tree, he said, took his money and watch, and drove off with his car. ‘The negro released himself and noti- fled the sheriff at Cherokee. The offi- cers found the negro's car parked Just outside the bank, one of the trio sitting in it. Moore covered him with a pistol, while the sheriff and Hester ‘went toward the bank. i They called to Tripett and the other man who were going in the bank, ‘Wounded Bandit Dies. The pair turned, Tripett drawing a pistol and firing point blank at Hes- ter, tne bullet taking effect in his thigh. Hester returned the fire, Tri- pett dropping with a bullet wound in his abdomen, dying a few hours later. The other man hit Sherift Keeton in the ribs with the butt of his pistol, when Keeton attempted to draw his gun, but was prevented fromi firing by Hester, who covered the bandit. Johnson's watch was found in the possession of the men when they were arrested, officers said. —_— GET-TOGETHER MEET. Social Session Proposed for Police Association Members.

If such a man as this escaped, the sackcloth might as well be draped upon the futile law: he is a flend in human form, and there would be a frightful _storm, if halter failed to draw.” His lawyers, bold and active wights, determined he should have his rights, appealed from court to court; the people raised an angry shout, “Why don’t the judges cut it out, and hang that tinhorn sport?” The lawyers fought exceeding well, and ere the day of doom befell, the slayer was reprieved: there was a roar throughout the land, “Stern jus- tice once again is canned,” the people said and grieved. And -when the brief reprieve was done another stay was promptly won, while Jjurists viewed the case: and voters cried, “It is too raw, the way they tinker with the law is surely a disgrace.” The years went by, as years will scoot, and in his cell that calloused brute grinned in the face of death; time after time the date was set for him to pay the last great debt, and still he drew his breath. At last it seemed all hope was gone: upon a swiftly nearing dawn, the man was doomed to die; and people who had onee bewailed the ghastly way that justice failed, set up a_doleful ery. Sanderyin was killed and wus shot down. Alderman, who had produced two guns through some mnanner Coast Guardsmen have been unable to explain, then lined up other mem- bers of the crew with the atvowed ket “making them walk the 3 September | ! 0 Four indictments returned yester- | Intention of day by a Federal grand jury charged | PHnk. £ Horace Alderman. alleged rum runner | Barehanded, Webster, and alien smuggler of Miami, and|DPassenger on the patrol boat en Robert B, Weech, & companion, with | to_Biminl to investigate the cl firstdegree murder. in conmection | with the killing August 17 oft Fort | - Lauderdale of a_secret service agent and two Coast Guardsmen.
