Robber* Pul Loot In Sacks and Make
t
Their Escape in Two Minutes.
■No Clew Is found.
Portland. Or., Dec. 9.— No clew
has been found of the three un
masked
men who held up and
robbed the East Side Bank at 5.4 5
o ’clock Monday night. About $14,-
743 In gold, silver and currency was
the plunder claimed by the robbers.
This they gathered In two big sacks
and ran out of the hank staggering
under the weight of the loot.
Just two minutes were required to
complete a robbery that has few
precedents for desperation and dar
ing. Entering the bank, in the heart
of the East Side business district, at
an hour when hundreds of people
Awere on the streets, the leader and
-»most determined of the men, at
pistol's point forced President New-
hall and his son, who is the cashier,
to retire, their hands up, into Mr.
Newhall's private office. This done
two men who were waiting outside
Jumped inside the swinging door,
snd while one stood with a cocked
revolver watching the entrance, the
other held sacks into which the lead
er dumped the money from the coun
ter cash till.
Deputy Sheriff Erank Beatty found
a package of the stolen money—
$200 in $5 gold piece— which the
robbers had dropped in their flight.
The leading spirit In the robbery,
a man of 38, smooth shaved and
wearing seedy clothes, took all the
desperate chances and did the actual
jscck of taking the money.
A single horse rig, with which the
robbers made their escaoe, was
found about a mile from the scene of
the crime, the horse being in an al
most exhausted condition.
ROOT DENIES CHARGE
Washington Bar Association to Sift
Scam,al to Bottom.
Seattle, Wash., Dec. 7.— Breaking
his silence for the first time since
bis resignation from the supreme
court bench of the state of Wash
ington, former Justice Milo A. Root
stated that the troubles with which
he has become involved and which
led to his resignation, were brought
about through trusting a friend
whom he had known for 20 years or
more.
"But let me say first," said Mr.
Root, "I am not corrupt. I did not
receive a single penny. I did not
ask for a cent and what has been
done has been done honestly and
above-board. I do not care to say
that Judge Gordon took my letters
to the Great Northern railway and
capitalized them for any amount. All
I know about that Is what friends
of mine have told me.
“ It is untrue that Judge Gordon
wrote the decision in the Harris vs.
Great Northern decision, which has
been attributed to him,” declared
Judge Root.
Members of the special bar com
mittee are determined to report fully
on the exact facts on ever/ charge
they can hear. There I b no chance
of a whitewash report, and the bar
committee's findings may be even
a-ore drastic than have been inti
mated thus far.
