Be Sentenced Quickly
Pensacola, Fla., Sept. 25.
William Bell, the 19-year-old
bank clerk who last night con
fessed to stealing the package of
$55,000 from the First National
Bank here, was arraigned before
a United States commissioner
this afternoon and entered a plea
of guilty.
Bell declared he had no accom
plices in taking the money from
the bank or in returning it to the
back door of the bank where it
was found by the negro janitor.
His bond was fixed at $5,000. In
his confession made public today
Bell declared he yielded in a mo
ment of weakness in taking the
money, but after he had it he did
not know what to do with it. He
said he desired to have sentence
levied for his crime as quickly as
possible.
Bell was not under suspicion
up to the time he presented him
self to the bank president and
confessed to the crime.
