Rowe and Keiper drove to Halifax from Ellzabethville this morning, and hitching their team on' the outskirts of the town boldly entered the bank with revolvers presented and demanded that the at- taches of the bank throw up their hands and turn over the ‘money. One of them held incheck Abraham Faustenbaugh, the | president; Isaac Lyter, the teller, and ex- staked off. Stages and wagons leaving | Rapresentative | who was in the bank on private business. Swartz of Duncannon, The other covered Cashier Ryan and under the menace of the revolvers the cashier collected the cash In the drawers to the amount of §2000 and gla,ced it in a satchel the robbers had brought with them. Rowe, with the cash-stuffed satchel in his hand, backed out toward the door, and Keiper also ‘'moved toward the en- trance of the bank. Just when it seemed that the robbers would succeed jn getting away Cashier Ryan leaped forward in an attempt to knock up the revolver of the man with the money. In the scuffle four the plied: My name is Nora Schneider.” “Do you know the defendant?” she was then asked. Attcrney Murphy was quickly feet with an objection. ““This witness,” he sald, “is the wife of the defendant and she cannot testify in this case.” .The prosecution temporarily withdrew the witness, and then, in order to show that the last marriage of Cooper was In- valid, introduced evidence as to his for- mer marriage. J. A. Pickett, clerk of the Langham _Hotel, 'testified that in 1857 Cooper and his wife registered at the ho- tel and remained there for three weeks. The witness produced the hotel register, showing the signature “W. Cooper and A under date of August 8, .’ Pickett identified Cooper as the man who made the entry and stated that Miss Schnelder was not the lady who accom- panied him. Captain Seymour, gAssistant District Aftorney shs re- on his chief of detectives, shots were fired and Ryan fell to the floor, shot through the groin by a bullet from the pistol of Rowe. Mr. Fausten- baugh grabbed Rowe and after a short scuffle threw him to the floor. Keiper ran out of the door. The nolse of the shots attracted J. F. Leiter, who has a store near the bank building. He ran out with his shotgun and pursued Keiper for one block and shot him In the back of the head, when the robber surrendered. The wounded cashier was taken to his home after the capture of the despera- does and died to-night.

Last night he applied to the Sherift for permission to sleep In the| County Jail, as he feared he would be murdered. This was granted him, and before the shooting to-day he left for San Francisco. The Chinese who was killed was Lee ‘Wing, an industrious and Inoffensive man, employed for twenty vears as a cook in the families of T. Eliard Beans and W. K. Beans, San Jose bankers.
