the recant robbery in which tbo taiuvja
got away "with 820,000. The arrest
was just made and detectives claim to
have plenty of evidence to sustain the
charge. Pratt was not suspected at
first , but the moro the detectives
hunted for clues the more they became
convinced thut Welch and bis ucconi-
Elices had inside help. Avaliso being
) ft at the bank , the subsequent call
for it , locking up the cannier and
assistant , Miss Harris , in the vault ,
were all prearranged. The detectives
feel confident of being ultimately able
to recover till the money stolen. The

the dutcctivo who arrested him. He-
porters for the preaa were not allowed

agency , which has churao of the case ,
say ho made a confession the effect
that Dr. J. S. Scott , of St. Louis ,
formerly a resident of Kowanee ,
planned the robbery , though ho took
no direct part in it ; that Pratt , acting
cashier , was a party to it , and that
instead of a largo sum in gold being
carried away in a vaiiie , with other
money , that it was Pratt himself who
carried it off previous to thu day when
ho ( Welch ) und his companion locked
Pratt and Miss Harris in the vault ,
and carried away the remainder of the
money , mostly in paper. Welch re
fuses to give the name of the man who
helped him in the job , but the agency
ia confident it will t > ot the riuht man.
Welch says Dr. Scott introduced him
to Pratt , and that aomo time ago
Pratt paid a check drawn on the bank
by him ( Welch ) . When it was dis
covered , payment was thought to bo
the result of Pratt' * ignorance.
Welch had no money In the bank.
.Scott is said to bo chiefly known in
