FOUND THE MONEY
PACKAGE WAS PLACED ON BANK
STEPS BY SOME ONE
EVERY DOLLAR FOUND
i
Money From the Pensacola National
Hank tliat Was Stolen in Transit to
Floinaton Several Days Ago, Turns
Up Just as Mysteriously as it Disappeared.
A dispatch from Pensacola, Fla., as
? Mcnit r?r thn mysterious return to
WX I VDUIV V ft. w
the First National Bank, some time
Sunday night, of the $55,000 stolen
while boing delivered to the Louisville
and Nashville pay car at Floxnaton,
several days ago, a conference
was held Monday night between officials
of the bank and private detectives
and special agents investigating
the robbery.
The package containing the money
was in the original wrapping as made
up by the bank employees, it is said,
and was enclosed in a newspaper. It
was found (Monday morning lying
against the grating of the back door
of the bank by the negro janitor, who
first thought it a pair of old shoes.
This indicates, according to the officials,
that some one with previous
knowledge, had prepared in advance,
the dummy package containing mag
azine pages which was found in place
of the money when the shipment was
opened in the Louisville and Nashvillo
pay car.
.Ruins and Pinkorton detectives
and special agents of the Southern
Express Company are hot on the trail
of the man. They claim the package
of currency, in its original package,
was found wrapped Monday morning
ir a morning Journal published on
Thursday morning. It had been placed
at tlio back door of the bank some
time during the night and had rested
there unnoticed.
The janitor had occasion to go to
the door, and opening the inside door
saw a package resting against the
iron grating. Ho thought it was a (
pair of old shoes, but when he picked ,
it. up the paper dropped off and he (
saw plainly labelled "this package (
contains $55,000". He took it to the ,
bank officials and the latter identified ,
it as the original package intended (
for the paymaster of the Louisville
and Nashville Railroad Company. ,
Every dollar was there, and the j
package had not been broken by the (
nan who stole it, and sent along a
ummy to the paymaster of the Louisville
and Nashville. This dummy was (
made up of the size of a silver certificate
or bank note. The money had
evidently been resting against the
bank door for several hours, for it
had been out In the rain which came
down in a downpour during the
nis.ht, and the newspaper in which it
was wrapped dropped off when the
janitor picked it up.
The rear of the bank is enclosed by
a brick wall about five feet high and
the door at which the money was j
placed was only about five feet from
this wall. The party returning It either
threw It over the wall against the
dooi or else scaled the wall and dencsfted
the package where it was (
found. i

The party doing the telephoning t
first made a mistake and got the

such a message, but was told
that the cashier had not lost anything.
Ho then telephoned to W. N.

Wilons's Pure Record.
The Augusta Chronicle calls attention
to the fact that "in the midst
of all the charges and countercharges
flying hack and forth between tho
two factions of the Republican party,
Wood low Wilson stands serene and
tjnascailod. He has no pass that is
Bet codltable to him. Every year of
bis life has been lived In such a way
that now when ho stands on the
licigMs no man can say a word
against him or cast aspersions upon
hi j record or Impugn his motives.
There is iu> question in the minds of
the American people as to Wilson's
honor and truthfulness. No taint of
Stool Trust or Standard Oil corruption
iVnds has tarnished his name or
twolrud Inni In h#?nfi?d ji n

with members of his party of the
Chert and ugly word. No man has
called him o liar and he has not had

Wilson stsnds out In this campaign

tho approval of tho entire body of his

he had threatened to kill himself several
times before. He went to his

"1 am guilty of the charges against
me. 1 must have been tempted by
tho devil. If ever a man has repented
for his sins that man Is me. Every
night sinco I resigned as superintendent
of the orphan asylum I
have prayed to my (Maker to forgive
me. My wife and child are living
near Greenvill/3 and it is breaking
my heart to think what my child
will have to face when she grows
older."
Such was tho confession of Thurston
U. Vaughn, former superintendent
of tho Odd Fellows Orphan
Home near Greenville S. C., made
just before departing /or South Carolina
from Baltimore with Sheriff
Poole.
Pathos marked every faltering utterance
of the broken man. Tears
coursed down his cheeks and his
frame shook with emotion. Supported
by the strong arm of the kind
ofiicer the prisoner talked to a group
of newspaper men for some time before
leaving the city prison.
"I regret it all, regret it all," repeated
Vaughn in depths of despair.
"If it could only be undone," be

Vaughn seemed to think more of
the sorrow that has come to his wife

plight.

TEDDY AND BLEASEl
ROOSEVELT TELEGRAMS START
MUCH IDLE TALK
ABOUT A UNION PARTY
Governor 1)1 ease's Dislike for Woodrow
Wilson and Present Political
Kupture Said to lie the Open Opportunity
Accepted by the "Pull
Moose" to Break into Carolina.
Some very sensational political
dope is being sent out from Aiken.
One is that Col. Theodore Roosevelt,
"Bill 11 Moose" nominee for the presidency,
is very anxious to gain a foothold
in South Carolina politics and
that ho intends, with the bold effrontery
characteristic of him at least
to make the effort is reasonably evident
from the fact that a former
member of tho colonel's circle of acquaintances
in New Yorl*, but now
in Aiken, is in receipt of a telegram
from Colonel Roosevelt wherein the
latter inquires if there is any statute
of limitation in this state regulating
tho placing of an electoral ticket in
the field.
The significance of this fact is rendered
even more significant and colored
by tho fact that this is by no
means the first telegram which Dr.
Dunn has received in connection with
tho matter. It appears, in fact, that
for the past several weeks there has
been no little correspondence carried
on, in a telegraphic way, between
Col. Roosevelt and his Aiken friend
in an effort to get a lino on the out*
look.
This inquiry of the colonel's is very
significant in view of the present
chaotic condition of state politics, the
rupture growing out of the failure so
tar of the state executive committee
to declare Cole L. Blease the gubernatorial
nominee of the democratic
party. Immediately after the first
primary election, Tuesday, Augfust
27, the attitude of the executive committee
gave rise to much speculative
conjecture as to whether the condition
would not afford Col. Itoosevelt
the very opportunity for which
he sought to project his "Bull Moose"
party into this State.
And now Governor Blease and his
followers have not only issued the
statement that, if the executive committee
does not doclare him the nominee
the entire force will "bolt" the
democratic party and run independently
in the general election, but
have gone even further and formulated
and advertised a ticket for every
state office, which Governor Blease
heads, of course, and they declare
that thl3 ticket will bo placed in the
field for the general election, if the
committee persists in pursuing its
dilatory course. Col. Roosevelt has
been awaiting such an opportunity as
this. It has arisen, and, with keen
nnlUlrnd nerr.ention. ho has made
quick to grasp the opportunity by Us
Cort-IockJ.
This gives rise to the question as
to whether the Bleaso and Roosevelt
ftmces will lino up together. It is a
matter of common knowledge that
i'or no very clear reason Governor
Blease c:: per ie 1400s considerable dislike
for the democratic presidential
nominee, Woodrow Wilson, while, on
the other hand, a man of Colonel
Roosevelt's typo appeals strongly to
the governor. During the past few
weeks the opinion has been frequently
ventured that Governor Blease is
such a personality an the colonel
would like to lino up with, in the
event that he is afforded an opening
in South Carolina.
Reducing the scale to a very large
degree, Govornor Blease might in a
s?uso bo compared with Col. R003Ci/.-.lf
Ttr?l >1 Yiifln urn nviatlnc iinil*.**
conditions very contemporary; both
aie open and brazen in their utterances
and radical in their policies*
both aufler the unending ridculo and
exposition of tlio nation's newapapers,
yet bolh are, it must ba admitted
the idols of irasses and aie
accorded the "hero worship" of a
large class of people who woo id lionize
and place them upon a pedestal
of martyrdom and shout: "Protector
of the working man!"
/?II of this bar. led many people to
look for an alfiliatiori of the Please
and Roosevelt forces. The quortiou
Is will Plea.se give Ills consn t to such
a coalition? Roosevelt deslrc.3 it;
will ho be able to secure his col?
if rot, will tho present rupture in
politics in this state lead him to
place an electoral ticket in the fold
anyway? Theso are tho questions
that aro ashed at Aiken now, as ai
.result of know Ledge of the "Pull j
Mooso" telegrams received, and ouln-j
it n Is about evenly divided on the
matter.
However, it Is generally concede 1
! fhni under no conditions, could
KooBcvo.lt do much in the State at
this time. It might, though, foreshadow
tho dawning of a new poKi.tgal
era for the State, end tuigilt
eventually lead to the establishment
of another party in South Carolina
after existing an it has under one par*
ty for more than half a century. B U
somo of the lined intellect of the
State Is known lieve to he of the opinion
that the oatahllehmont of another
party in this state would relieve it
