The Story of tho ;K.,bborjr >eel tho Aa

Special to The Herald.
Ostahio, Jan. 4. —Tho good citizens ol
Ontario were startled aboat noon today
at the news that two bold robbers bad
gone into the Ontario State bank half
ac hour before and compelled tbe cashier
to hand over all the gold in his poßsea
einn.
The news spread last through tbe
town and every shotgun or rifle within
reach was in the hands of citizens wbo
were eager to pnrsue the villains who
bad so andacionaly raided tbe bank.
Tbe robbers, owing to the qnist and
professional way in which tbey had
planned the attack, had a long start and
probably last horses.
THE BOBBERY.
The bank ia situated south of the
Southern Paciflo railroad track, on
Euclid avenue, and its windows are of
stained glass, so tbat passers-by asnnot
see the Interior of the offloe save when
tbe door ia open. The robbers took ad
vantage of thia state ot affairs and
alippsd quietly into tbe bank without
being observed by anyone on the etreet.
One of them engaged the aole occupant
of the office, Fred Stamm, tbe cashier,
in conversation, while his pal ooveted
tbs surprised banker with a revolver,
and producing a gripsack ordered him
to fill it up with all the gold in sight, or
in the vault. His words were plain and
pointed: "Chuck it all in this. You've
had it long enough."
MR. SIBLEY ATTACKED.
The next move of tbe man after secur
ing their plunder waa to throw the
cashier into tbe vault, look the door on
him, and turn to flee. Jnit aa they
reaohed tbe door of the office, R. P.
Sibley, of the canning factory entered
and received on his head a blow from a
sandbag. This weapon burst on coming
in contact with Mr. Sibley, and it was
thrown aside for a more serviceable
instrument, and he reoeived a blow on
tbe head from a revolver in the hand of
one of the villains. This laid him out
unoonsoious, with an ugly wonnd which
tore off the the scalp and bared bis
skull.
THE ALARM GIVEN.
After remaining in a state of atupor
for about half an hour, Mr. Sibley
recovered sufficiently to stagger out of
the bank, leaving a track of blood on
the way. He was observed by more
than one person as he emerged from tbe
bank and waß taken to the Southern
Pacific hotel, where he received medical
care. The alarm thua given drew sev
eral citizens to tbe acene of the robbery
aud immediate efforts ware made to ex
tricate tbe cashier from hie uncomfort
able prison.
Mil. STAMM RELEASED,
Mr. G. T. Stamm, president of tbe
bank and father of tin cashier, being in
Loa Angeles, and no one in town having
the combination of tbe lock, Mr. J, P.
Robertson, president o! tbe Citizens'
bauk, made an attempt to learn the
nucubets from the imprisoned cashier,
and fortunately succeeded in catching
the eecret ot the combination from the
mnfflad tones wbicb reached bim from
the dark interior of the vault.

THU MONEY SECURED.
The amount oi money eeenred by tbo

[Fr<om a photograph by Steckcl.)
Several years ago in an eastern city two
burglars were "pards" in crime. Oae
was Tom Morris and the other Edward
Steadman. A robbery was committed,
nnd Morris, through tbe testimony of
his oham, he Claims, was sent to the
Denitentiary (or four years. Steadman
went free.
Not long sines Morris was released,
and as he had sworn vengeanoe against
his erstwhile assooiate, bs decided to
always keep a lookout for him. Tbey
met once in Kansas, but Morris never
got the desired opportunity to have hiu
reveogo on Steadman.
TQIS MEN MEET HEBE.
Last week Morris landed in Lea An

gele«. To hia great surprise, he says,
lie ran across Steadman the fourth day
alter hia arrival. He awaited his oppor
tunity. Itcamoat last. Three nighta
ago he followed bio alleged burglar
friend to a certain place in thia city and
says he saw him attempt to enter.
Profiting by his knowledge, Mor
ris wont at oucs to a police
detoctive and gays him the whole
story as above outlined. He. told how
Steadman had conviotad bim in the
east; bow ho, Steadman, had been
wounded in Kanoao City whilo commit
ting burglary, and under what circum
stances f.iey both left. Morris prom
ised the officers to do ever/thins in hia
power to apprehendStoadmau, who wbb
known us one of tbe cleverest of burg
lars.
"OHIO" FATTY.
Those statements were given tho de
tectives Thuruday night,' all ol which
waa consumed in a search lor the fel
low. Morri3 went with the officers, and
they visited all placeo where they
rrero likoly to b2 Ipund. Finally tho
informant, who hiineeli is no spring
chicken in crime, unburdoned himseit
more folly, and eaid that Steadman had
n partner who was assining him in his
eiii.'a...einenta in this city. The partner,
be eaid, waa Frank Conway, otherwise
known as "I.iwa Wh'tusy," or ' Ohio
Fatty." Tha officers searched all night
and forird no clue. Yesterday it wsa
learned they had gone out of tbe city.
TUB TWO arSI'KCTBD.
Tho news of tbe bank robbery was no
more than received in this city, whew
the officers suspected the two men
whom Morris bad infarmed against.
Officers were sent from both the
sheriff's office and tho police department
iv eoarch of tha robbers. It was at once
suapocti'd that they were headed for this
city, aud every avoDue of entrance was
guarded by deputy sheriffs and de«
teotives.
About i o'olock word was sent to this
city that two suspicions characters bad
boarded the train a! Spadra, three miles
this eide of I'omona, for Los Angeles.
The dispatoh further stated tbat the
officers at tbat place refused to arrest
I the men without a warrant, and that
! detectives be sent oat to meet incoming
Southern Pacific train No". 42, on which
tbe men had taken passage.

The cfficera took the men to the polios
station and thoroughly searched them.
They answered in detail the daacripl.on
ivou by the ex-convict, Morris, lbs
night before, name and all. What made
the identification more complete were
tho bullet wounds of Steadman. iie
also had a fresh wonr.d in the leg.
Conway had a burglar'a knife, rises]
for opening windows, and a revolver,
and Steadman waa alio armed wi'.h a
pistol. Both men were dressed ai

THS MKN QDE9TIONED.
An hour alter the arrest, the alleged
robbem wore taken into jail, previous to
which Chiei Glass had an interview
with them in bis private office. Stead
man would not say anything, but it ii
thought that Conway was inclined tn bs
talkative, and gave the chief and the
officers n "tip." He ia a jolly young
man, and would be just the peraoa io
commit himself, while his friend ii of
exactly the opposite disposition.
CONWAY INTERVIEWED.
Soon after the men were removed to
jail, and placed in separate cells, a re
porter ol The Herald had a talk witb
tbem.
Steadman waa first interviewed—that
is, seen, for be would not talk. A aort
of emile played around tbe corners of a
wide, unainiable-locking mouth. His
lace waa cold and unshaven. He is 5
lest II inohea in height and weighs 2.1 J
pounds.
When Conway was brought ont from
bis cell he greeted the reporter with a
handshake, but said that he wasn't glad
to see him.
"I met Steadman a few weeks ago in
New Mexico," he eaid, "and name here
witb him. I know nothing of his rec
ord. As to the robbery—do I look like
a robber?" aud a emile overspread
the boyish face.
He said nothing further, excepting
that ho bad been to Pomona and that
he bad no home. He ia 25 years of a->n,
5 leet 8 inches in height, weigh 183
pounds, baa blue eyea, a light mous
tache and brown hair.

Last night Cashier .Stamm was tela
phoned lor a description of tbe men,
and the one he gives tallies almost ex
actly with the men under arrest. He
aaid that he would come in from Ontario
thia morning to identity the men.
Tbe police officers have no hesitancy
in Baying tbat they are the robbers, bat
thia morning the matter will be defi
nitely aettled if Cashier Stsmm's word
proves true that he can identify them on
aight.
If they abould prove to be the thievos
tbe police detectives should be given
great credit for the capture.
PRESIDENT STAMM.
Tne H««d of th. Kt.lib.rt Bank Olv.a
UI. SUt.m.it.
Yesterday morning at 11:45 o'olook
the employees in the Sonthern Paoifle
ticket offioe, at Second and Spriag
streets, were startled by hearing their
telegraph operator suddenly exclaim:
"The Ontario bank has been robbed."
Additional news was rapidly flatbed
into tbe office by E. T. McNeill, tbe
Ontairo agent, and soon all were in pos
session of the bare facts.
A Herald representative dropped into
the office and on to ths news. He
learned additionally that G. T. Stamm,
the president oi the bank, was in this
city.
Mr. Stamm was fonnd at ths corner ol
First"and Spring streets abjut 1 o'olock.
and ap to that time knew nothing ol
the robbery. He was very much shocked
at the news and immediately started
with the reporter for the Southern
Paciflo office to find if any additional
facts had bssn reoeived. Nothing new
was learned when he arrived there and
he decided to wire for a full description
of tbe robbers aad othsr dstails. Those
in the office learning of his desire,
placed tbtair own privets wire at hia dis«
posal and P. H. Springer, the Sonthern
Pacific contracting agent, at ones called
ap Ontario.
At laat, however, at 1:30 o'olock the
following message was reoeived: "De
scription of men —One, medium height,
about 5 fast 11 inchsa, black hair, short
growth of board; othsr, red hair, short
mustache, about 5 feat 7 inches in
height. They got between $4030 and
$5000 in gold, currency and coin. Men
left in tbe direction of Ohlno, driving a
new buggy and a bay horse. All ssjr«
rounding towna notified by telegraph."
Mr. Stamm, accompanied by his wile,
left Ontario oaths 7:30 morning train
having important business to attend ts
in this city. Us stated tbst his son
