Take-Third Man In Attempted Robbery of Sbelby Co. Home (Continued From Pave 1) he pulled the trigger, and it was exploded harmlessly, Thesa -Shots were heard by Milton Smith and John Rodman, neighbors who live near, and was the slgnn, for them to summon the alierit: from the city. Continuing his story, Hainan says that, after wrestling about a. little he made his escape from the grip of the intruders, got out of the house and" ran about 150 yards northward toward the home of Milton Smith. At that point he was overtaken and knocked down.

He yelled for help, and his cries also were heard by the neighbors. PUT NOOSE AROUND NECK. Haman begged the men to let liini g-o, insisting that he had no money whatever the place, but in stead of heeding his cries his cap tors took him back to his house, where they placed the noose of rope about his neck and threatened to hang him if he didn't come across with the Information as to the supposed hiding place of his money. Haman was then set in a corner of the room, and while one man remained in front of him flashing a light Into his eyes that he might not be able to see what was going on or to got a good look at them, the other two men utterly ransacked the house In a vain to uncover wealth that existed only In their Imagination. HELD BY POSSE.

As the men were about ready to go, Haman again got away from them and ran up the road, where he met Smith and Rodman, together -with William Ruwe, another neighbor. The four then went to the point where the robbers left their automobile, and there when Gill and Whitlatch reached the car. The third had disappeared In the darkness. As Whltlatch and Gill reached th car they the other four men awaiting them, and notwithstanding there were two guns In the crowd, Whltlatch made a lunge at Smith and knocked him Gill and Whltlatch were held at bay, however, until the arrival of Sheriff Rlley. who manacled them and brought hem to the county jail, where they and Cameron are being held to await hearing which probably will br accorded them Monday.

Whltlatch, it is said, has had a. record so far as any such escapade as that of Saturday morning is concerned, and many who knew him were astonished when they learned had been placed under arrest charged with the crime. A search of the Ford car used by he men Saturday morning disclosed a couple of bottle, the fumes from which smelled like "hooch," accord- ng to the officers, and the men are believed to have been Intoxicated to some extent when they are said to have pulled off the attempted robbery.
