The other body was clad only in trunks.

When they drove in front of my car at the arterial in Tomahawk I gave no resistance because they had me covered.

At the county jail in Merrill, the Merrill officers removed the hand cuffs from Waters' wrists.

Sheriff Kronenwetter then slipped hie pair of cuffs on the prisoner. Waters asked Jf that was necessary. Deputy Sheriff Andreski replied: "Well, we can't take chances with a man who holds up a bank single-handed." On the way down to the jail here, Waters had little to say but readily admitted various details in connection with the robbery. Sheriff Kronenwetter, when they arrived at the jail, asked him If he wanted something to eat Waters said he wasn't hungry. The sheriff asked If he would like some soup.

The deceased was connected with the Curtis and Tale company her for thirteen years.

He came to Wausau in 1901 and worked for Curtis and Yale until 1914 when he went to Rhlnelander to organize the Wisconsin Veneer company. He served as general manager of the veneer company until two yean ago when ill health forced him to retire. Mr. Marshall was horn in Dent- son, in 1833.

Moslnee Bank Thief Is Caught by Police (Continued from paga 1) Waters had been named on embezzlement charges in connection with shortages in the accounts of the bank at Ixonla and that the hear ing on the embezzlement charges was scheduled for next Monday, according to the Associated Press. The Ixonia bank in which Waters was employed until May 13 had been twice robbed by gunmen. Waters said here he had been cashier of the institution. He said his first wife died leaving him with two children, and that about the time he went to Hazelhurst, he was married to a widow with four children.

Waters was identified at the Mara thon county jail last night by Clayton Shlmek, the assistant cashier of the Mosinee bank. Assistant Cashier's Story Shimek's report of the incident in dicated that Waters had been at the bank on several occasions during the past three days for change and that during this time had tried to secure the confidence of the officials at the bank. Shimek said Waters had re presented himself as with the Standard Paper company of Milwaukee and that yesterday morning at 9 o'clock he Informed Shimek that he would be hack at the bank at closing time for a draft to send to his company. Shimek said he informed Waters that the bank would close at 3 o'clock. Waters appeared at that hour and after waiting several minutes informed Shimek that he was waiting for one of his salesmen from Wittenberg.

He asked If he could wait at the hank and Shimek gave his consent. Waters waited nearly an hour and Shimek suggested that he go into the Harris Harwia department store next door, to which request Waters replied that he had Informed his salesman to meet him at the bank. Shimek then suspected that robbery was the motive. After closing the vault he took his cap and approached the door, informed Waters that he would have to leave as he (Shimek) was closing the bank. Waters then, according to Shimek's story, pointed the revolver at him and commanded him to go into the vault for the bank's money.

Shimek, under cover of the gun, complied and was ordered to secure a bag, into which Waters put the money, after which he forced Shimek into a rear room. Shimek Alone At Bank Harris Hanna, president of the bank, was in Wausau during the afternoon, and Fred Helbach, cashier of the bank, had left the bank building at about 3 o'clock. Waters last night informed Wausau officials that he had stayed at the Hotel Wausau Wednesday night and said that he was around Wau-su and Mosinee all day yesterday. Edward Slewltzke, the Merrill traffic officer, said today that Wat-ers traveled about thirty miles per hour while In Merrill and that he had stopped at the stop-and-go signal on highway 51. After leaving Merrill, Waters traveled between sixtyand sixty-five miles per hour, and did not recognize the Merrill officers who disguised themselves by wearing ordinary caps.

Sheriff Henry Kronenwetter, after being in formed by them that waters was being held at Tomahawk, drove to Merrill with Joseph Andreski, deputy sheriff, and James Kronenwetter, the sheriff's son. The latter returned to Wausau with Waters' automobile while Waters was brought back by Sheriff Kronenwetter and Andreski. Waters' Statement "Shortly after resigning as cashier of the Ixonia bank last May I purchased some land on the north end of Lake Katherine where I am building a resort. About that time I remarried and my family has been at the lake since the latter part of May. That has been our home since," Waters told a Record-Herald reporter at the county jail last night Waters, feeling remorse, said there was something else he should tell "but when pressed for the news he said it would be better not to Cive it out at this time.

He probably referred to difficulties he is experiencing with officials of his former bank. "I have a crew of seven men working at the lake and they must be paid every week, as well as the other bills for materials. Up to now I paid everything as I went along. A number of men In the southern part of the state owe me money and I thought I would get enough to meet my debts this week. I went south Monday and was expected home last night I did not plan the robbery before.

It was not premeditated. When I was in the bank yesterday I got the idea and if the bank cashier Fred Helbach) had stayed in the the robbery would not have happened. I didn't point the gun at the assistant cashier but merely dis played it, aa that had enough effect," NOTICE! that required his attention before hood home, probably Saturday, for funeral services and burial. Brief and strictly private services will be held. A Fort Wayne funeral director was to leave for St.

Paul to get the body. "The burial will be very private," said Mrs. HarryJVan Meter, sister-in-law of the slain gangster. "There will be none of the curiosity seeking publicity stuff. We will not permit Van Meter, only brother of the gangster, is seriously ill.

Reporters were not permitted to talk to him. A sister, Mrs. Helen Ober, lives in Wayne, Pa. His parents are dead. Mrs.

Van Meter said today her husband had not seen or heard from Homer Van Meter for a year. Brother Grief Stricken Harry Van Meter was grief stricken when informed of his brother's death although he had predicted recently that "Homer will probably get the same thing that John Dillinger got." Homer spent most of his youth here and is remembered as a likable boy. He had no police record in this city.

Dillinger Gangster Led to His Death (Continued from page 1) chief) unknowingly walked Into the line of fire. Chief CuIIen, aiming the rifle, held his shots.

Detective Brown, however, still blasted away with a machine gun. And Van Meter, one of the men who shot their way out of police traps here and in Wisconsin, raided an Indiana police station for fire arms, looted banks, gambled, and frolicked about the country between crime sorties, fell prone. Nerveless fingers loosed his straw hat It rolled in the dust that blackened his white shoes and blood flowed from more than two score wounds. Another blast of fire cracked from the machine gun but the man lay Inert, moved only by the Impact of biting leaden pellets. One finger was ripped off by the unrelenting fire a thumb and forefinger of the right hand was almost severed at the first joint.

Appearance Altered Sardonically, his expensive wrist watch ticked on as a crowd gathered as if by magic at the end of the trail for Van Meter, who, like Dillinger, has utilized the art and skill of medicine to alter his ap pearance In an effort to cheat the law. But a newly grown mustache, hair that police believe had been dyed darker, and removal of a tatoo mark on his forearm failed to disguise him from the discerning eyes of po lice ready to "shoot kill." wnen ponce espied mm, tneysnot with telling effect Compared to the eccentric firing of Van Meter dur ing his career of crime during- the-f last six months. He It was who with Dillinger, Tommy Carroll, George Baby Face" Nelson, and John Ham ilton, raided the Sioux Falls, S. Security National bank last March to flee with more than $40,000. A vain Van Meter blazed away at the law March 31 when he unknowingly walked into the Dillinger apartment while federal department of justice agents rapped at the door.

He drove R. C. Coulter out the front door with flaming pistol, miraculously escaped being hit by Coulter's fire, and disap peared. A monent later, Dillinger, with Evelyn Frechette (now in prison for two years for harboring the Indiana outlaw) blasted his way to freedom with a machine gun. Somewhere, later, Dillinger and Van Meter, then brazenly invaded a Warsaw, police station, stole firearms, and disappeared again.

Elude Government Again the law caught up with them in the Little Bohemia resort near Mercer, where federal agents surrounded the gang last April 22. But once more Van Meter, Dillinger, Carroll, and Nelson elud the guns of the government. Death first tagged Carroll at Wa terloo, Iowa, several months ago. Then Dillinger. The gang leader was shot down as he left a Chicago theater a few weeks ago after viewing a film of gamblers and death.

A woman was with him and a woman last night got in the line fire by accident. But in neither case did it make any difference. Death danced at the end of the chase. In Van Meter's case, it meant the beginning of a new quest where are Baby Face Nelson and Hamilton and two automobiles Van Meter had. Police sought the answer today as they looked for Van Meter's hideout and his companions and connections here.

The last heard of Nelson was last week at Sioux City, Iowa, authorities said. Of Van Meter, the police wrote the final chapter of his record $923 in ten and twenty dollar bills his pockets, a clip ot bullets for his automatic, and an Illinois motor vehicle license registration card issued to "Henry Adams." In June, 1923. Van Meter was sentenced to forty-one days in jail as Kenneth R. Jackson at Aurora, 111., on a disorderly conduct charge. The next year he was given one to ten years on a larceny charge at Menard, 111., but paroled the same year.

Two charges of robbery lodged him in the Indiana state reformatory in 1925 after conviction at Pendleton, Ind. His term was ten to twenty-one years. He was paroled May 19, 1933. Since that time he followed the underworld's maze. Burial In Indiana Fort Wayne, Aug.
