miL'ht he a rough and tumble ti'-'h! on
-liht provocation.
The star witnesses for the Woseetitlnn
were Fx-Hcprcsc iitntlvc Swart, ol
Duucnnuou, and Abraham Forten
baugh, president and director of the
Halifax bank.
Mr. Swart, testified of having been
in the Halifax hank on the (lay of the
attempted robbery, iilsiul 11 o'clock,
and inei Mr. Fortcubatigh, president;
Mr Cyan, cashier, and Mr. Lyter, ! I
ier. Mr. Swartr. went at once into the
rear apart on irf with the pit-id nit.
After he had hi eii in lie' hank alstlll
ten minutes he was alarmed by the crj
of "hand- up, d li you. and thai
very quick, too."
He looked up and stiw Lowe and
Keiper each with two revolvers. Hi
and Fortenbaugh were eovcreti and (old
to hold up their hands, which they did.
Keiper held them at hay while Rowi
brought the teller and cashier around
to the rear at the point ol' hi- w eapon,
he having escaped across the counter
ami iron grating.
Lowe then said: "Hands up and be
d u ipiiek. We want possession of
this hank and we want it quickly. W
will give you five minutes to yield by
the time of your own watch, and the
first who moves is a dead man."
Howe then asked for the cashier ami
then compelled him to open the vault
and hring from it all ofthe money there.
This, at the command of Rowe, was
placed In a telescope opened by the rob
bers, Rowe said: "Do you want to
die at once'.'"
Mr. Ryan replied; "No, 1 do not,"
Thereupon Rowe said: "Then get the
money and the bonds into that satchel
ami bed n ijulck."
He was told that there were no bonds
and believed the statement only after
some persuasion on the part of Mr-
Ryan.
When all had been de osited in the
tclcMitiH Rowe laid one, perhaps Isitb,
the witness was not sure, of his revol
vers on the counter to close the satchel.
Instantly Ityan made a dash for the
weapon and before witness could wi II
see w hat w as going on three shuts had
been fired and Ryan lay on the (loot:
mortally wounded.
Witness said that Mr. Ryan bad
scarcely taken a step before Rowa
jumped for him ami fired as he jumped.
Ryan secured the gun on the counter
aud at once begun a scuttle with the
robber.
Mean while Keiper held up Mr. For
tenbaugh and the witness. When
the scuttle began Keiper turned his at
tention to helping hiscompnuion. Then
the witness ran from the bank and
called to pedcatraina to come to the as
sistance of the bank officers, lb saw
Mr. Lytcr with a shoi gun and saw
him shoot at Keiper, who had coniei
out of the hank ami was trying to es
rape down the street. Some of the
shot struck the robber in the Imck of
the bead, wounding him -lightly, and
he stirretldi red in nil alley at the point,
of Lytcr's gun. which was a double
barreled weapon,
Witness irot KcijM'r's revolver and es
corted him, a mpanied by Mr. Lytel
mil others, to a place of safety. He
I hen went back to t he haul, ami found
Lowe on the Moor and with three men
on top of him, He assisted in disarm
ing the daring young roldsT ami saw a
large amount of money taken from the
prisoner's (MH-kets He was then tied
hand and font.
When Keiper was beyond the means
nfe cape Mr. Swart returned to the
hank ami helped gather up the m -alter,
ed money and w itb It mi the tl In-
round another revolver, every chamber
ol w hich had been emptied, and a lull
iiox of cartridges, Helper's revolver,
which alsu fell into the hands of Swarts
had but one empty chamber.
While Rowe was Islng secure 1, Mr.
Ryan was bob" attended in the rear
of the bank hyslclan ami several
ofhis fr!c...i. lien taken from the)
hank Mr. Ityan was unconscious.
Mr. Fortenbaugh corroborated In
every detail the testimony ol Mr.
Swart. He also testified to the finding
on the effects of the prisoners of dyna
mite cartridges and fuses. He also told
ofthe wounds of Mr. Ryan, one In the
breast and one In the groin, and was
positive that Howe fired the first shot.
