II la supposed that the mnn and tils companion , If lia had one , sepa rated on leaving the nllcy and both made for the southwestern part of the city. The man who shot Mr. Urown was scon by sev- cral parties au be ran through tha nllcj , nnd ono man lu particular , M. A. Goehrlnh , was able to give the police n peed descrip tion , which tallied exactly with that given by Mr. Drown. DnrltiK Act. The attempted robbery was a moat daring act , as the bank IB situated on a portion ut Broadnny which at that time In the after noon Is the meet densely traveled of any street lu the city. Every act of the bandit could bo plainly seen from the street through the big front window of the bank , and ho evidently must have been aware of his ability to escape by the back door , as there would have been no possible chance for him to get away toy the Broadway en trance unleps ho had been nblo to stand the crowd off with hie revolver. Thu first person to glvo the alarm was Mrs. J. Sullivan , wife of John Sullivan , the giocor. She was passing the bank and heard Brown's cries for help. Looking through the window she saw Brown running about behind the enclosure holding up n stool and for a moment eho thought ho had gone crazy. However , the Instant she heard the shooting she realized that something was wrong and called out as loud as ehe could , "Police ! " Her cries attracted the attention of B. M. Sargent , who ran out of his store. By thlu time a largo crowd had collected , but no ono In It having a revolver no at tempt was made to enter the bank. Sargent then kicked In the window and the bandit after firing a parting shot made good his escape. The crowd then poured Into the bank and a number of men ran through Into the alloy , but the man had disappeared. Word was telephoned to police headquar ters that the bank was being robbed and Chief Blxby and Officer Slack were at the scene In n few minutes , but In that few minutes the robber hod probably gotten sev eral blocks nway. Chief Blxby loat no tlmo In making arrangements to have the entlro city thoroughly searched nnd officers were sent In every direction. The men of the night detail were summoned by messenger und at once put to work. The Omaha pollco were notified by telephone , ns were the towns In the Immediate vicinity of Council Bluffs. The police , however , ivero badly handicapped , as no one had seen In which direction the man loft the alley. The depots' ' and railway yards were at once searched nnd a number of suspects were gathered in , but none seemed to answer the description of the man wanted. 'J'ruccil ( o Ncolii. Two men , ono of whom answered the de scription of 'Mr. Brown's assailant , boarded a Fifth avenue motor and left It at the transfer , tout after that all trace of them was lost. Word was received from the marshal at Neola about 9 o'clock , last night that two men had left a freight train there and from the description given It Is thought that one of the men Is the one who shot Brown. Chief Blxby Instructed the marshal to try to arrest the two men at all hazards and hold them. Chief Blxby la of the opinion that the man who did the shooting had a companion who was watching at the rear and that their plan wns for the ono who entered by the Broadway entrance to cover Brown with hla revolver , whllo the other woe to come In from the back , go behind the enclosure and gather up the money. Their plan , however , ho thinks was frustrated liy Brown declining to throw up his hands , and the first fellow toeing cnragod at the resistance offered by llrown decided to shoot him. There Is no doubt that the drsperndo shot to kill and the only thing that saved Brown's Ufa was probably that ho was mm bio to take good aim , owing to the wire screen along the counter , the meshca of which are very small nnd would not permit of the fellow putting his revolver between them. The only time that ho got a fair , straight shot at Brown was when he fired through the paying tel ler's wicket. Mr. Brown when seen at tils homo on Stxt'h nvenuo last night was able to alt up , althoug-h hla wounded arm , which wua In n sling , was giving him considerable pain. To a number of friends who had called to see him ho stated that In his opinion his otcapo from being shot dead was miracu lous and that the idol which struck the NERVES AND BLOOD Tree Trlnl I'ncltnife of a Iteiniirknule Health Itcntorer Mulli-il to remnn Who Will Semi Their !

Mr. Bronn gave the following dcscilptlon of the nffair ; "I wns sitting at my desk nt the end of the room when I heard some one enter the bank. Supposing it to ho n customer , I nroso nnd was half vvny to llib counter when I heard the command to hold up my hnndti.

H wns nn awful ex- perlcnce. Here I was shut up behind the counter nnd railing with not n soul in the room except that fellow nnd ho calmly walking around shooting nt me. " Mr. Brown In nnswer to nn Inquiry said ho had not noticed anyone In the back yard , HO was unable to say whether his assailant had nny accomplice or not. The man , he said , never uttered n word nfter twice or dering dim to hold up his hands. The way the bank building Is situated It was easy for tbo man to make his escape unnoticed. The bank Is located between two stores , both of which extend twenty or thlyty feet further back , thus making a Hi- tie enclosure at the back ot the bank open ing into the alley. Once in the alley , the man could have run out on Fourth street or Main street , or continued down the al ley between.those two streets. Among the suspects arrested last night was a man named R. Hedlu , who had J2G3 ( n hlfl possession. He claimed to be from Shelton , Neb , and said hevvas on his way to Ohio for modlcal treatment. His arrest was due to the fact that ho Was wearing a long mackintosh and hla general appear ance answered the description ? f the man the police nre anxious to get hold of.

The discrepant was accounted for , how- ver , by the production from the "black wok" of entries showing purchases of Met- opolltan and Sugar stock to the value of 128,390. Mr. Shields claimed that the witness had 0 right to charge against Senator Quay heso purchases of stock since they were ) ought through a local stock brokerage firm nd carried by them on margin , and that not dollar was loaned by the bank on the ransactlons. The witness was compelled to dmlt the truth of this. The "block book" s the volume In which Cashier Hopkins cept his entries of stock transactions. Mr. hlolds brought from < the witness the ad mission that the apparent loan of $57,503.12 hould bo reduced to $14,850 , received trough the closing of a deal In United Gas itock ; that the books that show a further oan of $3,000 charged to Senator Quay was aid to a man named Andrews ; that a loan f $18,935 charged to Senator Quay was np- arently a loan to Governor Hastings ; that n item ot $3,200 In Senator Quay's loan ccount was an obligation of a man named \hern ; that other items aggregating $15,500 barged to Senator Quay wore obligations t other people. The successive admissions f the witness , Mr. Shields argued , showed hat of the apparent loans to Senator Quay f $185,855 12 during the six months under Iscusslon , all or nearly all constituted the bllgatlon of other people ; In other words , ! iat Senator Quay was an endorser nnd herofore only a tentative debtor of the bank. Recess until 1 o'clock. In the afternoon session , Mr. Shields took p Senator Quay's letters to Hopkins , which lave been published. One of them read ; 1 have at Huhu's 900 shares Metropolitan. Take it up for me. " The witness stated the books did not show hat the request was complied with Another read"Glvo George Huhn $25,000 or mo and send me a note. " This was not one. The telegram of February 9 , 1818 , reading : Got out at profit. I check on you for 7,000 , " wns referred to. The witness turned o Senator Quay's account in the ledger and estlfled on that data that the senator's alance was $13,832 27. As a fact , ho did ot check on the bank for that amount. No heck was paid for Senator Quay until 'ebrunry 14 , when his balance was $60,858 28 nd ho drew on that day $17,227.57. The next telegram was dated St. Lucia , Da. , February 11 , 1898 , reading : "If you 111 buy and carry 1,000 Met. for mo will shako the plum tree. " The witness ad mitted that at tbo tlmo the famous tele gram was sent Senator Quay had a balance f over $60,000. The books show that $10- 00 was drawn from Mr. Quay's account nnd iald to a broker for use as margin for this ransactlon In Metropolitan. IllllflllflllK-NN I.OHH Tllllll SlInilONIMl. Mr , Shields said the books showed that November 17 , 1896 , the beginning of the > crlod for which Senator Quay is indicted , ils total Indebtedness to the bank was 89,292 , and on November 30 , It was $70- 95,42. The witness was asked If It was ot a fact that Senator Quay's Indebtedness t the end of November that year would mve been only $8,201.67 , had the proceeds f a large "block " of United States Gas stock old on November 9 , amounting to $121- 43.75 , been credited to his account , A par- Inl credit for this sale of $49,384.37 was not ntered until November 24 Mr. Shields rought out through the witness that all f the proceeds of the United Gas deal were ot credited to Senator Quay's account until ight months after the stock had been sold nd that If the money realized bad been rodltcd properly and prompt ! ) , the eena- or's Indebtedness would have been only 8,201.67. Mr. Shields asked Goldsmith If ho did not find in the "black book" that Hopkins re ceived the money not credited to Mr. Quay'b account. Witness admitted this , but suld be did not refer to it In his testimony be cause the figuies conflicted with Senator Quay's balance as shown by the ledger , Mr. Shields endeavored to force tbo wit ness to make the statement that had Sen ator Quay's account been properly credited by Hopkins with amounts due from the sale of the United Gag stock the bank would have owed the senator $1,263 96 at the be ginning of the statutory period , November 17 , ISbG , Instead of Quay , apparently , owing the bank $89,892.29. The witness said it this was done Quay would have owed the bank only $23604 , but there is a dispute about a charge of $1,500 to Senator Quay's account. Taking up the "red book , " Mr. Shields asked this question "During the statutory period , do the book * cApril Breezes "There is no fragrance in April breezes.

" "Not directly. " "Indirectly ? " "Yes , sir ; on November 23 , the Plttshurg transaction. " "You surely don't call that a stock pur chase ? " The witness thought so. The check ot Hopkins to B. J. Hay wood for $1,519 , which It has been testified was n payment of one-third of interest on the state deposit to the state treasurer , was shown to witness , and he was asked If tbo money It represented was not In the bank at the time the check was drawn. Answer "Yes , sir. " The question was evidently designed to show that it was not n payment for interest at all \Vltnoss wns asked if there was nn > thing on the books to show that during the stntu- tory period $200,000 was set aside for Sena tor Quay's use , or that any pirt of that sum was used for him. The witness would not show this fact specifically , but said that results proved the fact , as he had testified. The witness admitted there were dis crepancies In fiomo entries in the bank's books. "Were there not call loans charged to persons having no transactions with the bank ? " "Yes , elr" "Were they not fictitious and false ? " "They were loans in nllas names " There were no Indications , ho said , ex cept In the "red book" that the bank paid interest on state funds. "Is there an evidence on the books that Senator Quay ever got n dollar of Interest on state money during the statutory period. " "No , sir.
