Thompson at first hesitated to go out after the holdup man. whom he heard in his yard, but the little chap persuaded him to go. The 4-year-old, armed with the lantern, and his father, armed with a shotgun, caught the robber and took away from him a 3-callber fully load ed revolver. Harry, bearing the lantern, and his father, holding the shotgun close to the robber, proceeded down the street toward Montavtlla. Two blocks from home Thompson lost control of the trigger of the gun and it exploded, scaring but not Injuring the robber. The robber shouted "Don't do that," and ran away. He was not caught. When Detectives Taft and Swennes came upon Thompson, after passing him once In the dark, he was afraid to go home. Little Harry scorned the escort of the detectives, which Thomp son asked for. Under the escort of Harry, still with the lighted lantern. Thompson went home. A comedy of errors barred the de tectives and Motorcycle Patrolman EvanS from reaching Thompson before the robber made his escape. When J. C. Meyers, of 351 East Eighty-second street was held up in his store by the Vobber and relieved of $7.60 earlier in the evening, he telephoned the police station and two detectives and Evans were sent out.

As a direct lead into the big dynamite conspiracy.

Mrs. Andrew J. .Hull, now of Kim ball, Neb., who as Miss Edith Wine brenner was bookkeeper for the Inter national Association of Bridge and Structural Iron Workers and who was familiar with its money receipts and disbursements, was closely questioned by Mr. Miller. Into the grand Jury room were taken the stubs of check books and accounts of the association for the five years In which the explo slons took place. Check Stub Important. It was during a large part of these seven years that Ortle McManlgal, ac cording to his confession, did dynamlt lng for John J. McNamara, the con. vlcted secretary-treasurer, and often In company with James B. McNamara. An Important feature of McManigal's confession attracted attention in con nection with Mrs. Hull's visit to the District Attorney's office. This was the admission by McManlgal that he usually received about 1200 for each job and that when he complained that part of the money was being held back. James B. McNamara had admitted re ceiving the stubs of the checks and said John J. would "fix It up." Witnesses' Identity Secret. Most of the Jury's attention today was taken up with an outlining by Attorney Miller of what the lnvestlga tton was to be, how far it was bo go and the number and character of the witnesses to be called. The identity of the few witnesses called today was kept in strict secrecy. Mrs. Hull's appearance at the Fed eral building followed that of II. S.

In reporting tho unanimous recommendation of the executive com mittee for the increase in salary, Mr. Mattlson B. Jones said: "When Dr. Burdette resigned it was a serious question as to whom the church would choose as pastor.

That his leadership and ministry have been pre-eminently successful, every mem ber of Temple Baptist Church knows Others spoke enthusiastically in fa vor of the proposition and. by rising vote unanimously and heartily added tho $1000 to Dr. Brougher's salary.

SANTA'S CAR DESTROYED Countless Tin Soldiers and Wooden Animals Perish In Flames. HAVRE. Mont., Dec. 14. Whole com panies of soldiers were wiped out and countless animals, wild and domestic, perished when a mail -car on the Great Northern Railroad took fire between Havre and Great Falls today. All the casualties were due to the progressive' ness of Santa Claus In abandoning the old reliable reindeer team for the swifter lightning express. The fact that the soldiers were of tin and the animals of wood will soften only partially the grief of the settlers' children to whom the Christmas pack ages were mailed by Eastern friends. The car was loaded with second and fourth-class matter and carried no pos tal clerk. Its Interior was a mass of flames when the fire first was dis covered. The engineer threw the throt tle wide in the direction of the nearest water tank and the burning car was flooded. INDEX OF TODAY'S NEWS The Weather.

If he is the guilty man, he betrayed no recollection of having seen Mrs. Nel son before yesterday. , While the evidence against Lochard Is all circumstantial at present. It is strong. It includes alleged admissions made to other criminals; a striking resemblance to the description given by Mr". Nelson at the time the murder was discovered; alleged tendencies to degeneracy like those displayed by the murderer; accurate knowledge or tne interior of the rooming-house, said to have been shown by Lochard in his statements, and a peculiar unwilling ness to visit, the scene of the crime just after it occurred.

Jennings was living In Portland at the time of the Holzman murder and says he knew intuitively that Lochard had committed the crime as soon as ho saw newspaper accounts of it the fol lowing morning.

After Barbara Holzman waa killed he dropped the businesa without explanation and never after ward, says Jennings, could he be pre vailed upon to return to the place. Jennings went to South Bend to live and Lochard followed him there. He asserts that Lochard proposed that they should break Into a bank, but he re fused and even ordered the man out of town, threatening to arrest him him self. It was while on this visit to South Bend, according to the story of Jen nings, that Lochard fell in with two men of shady records and to them boasted of the numerous murders ha had committed, among them that of tho Holzman girl, "and it is the only one I regret," he Is quoted as saying.
