The messenger on the car, A. A, Gotthoff, first esitmated the loot between $2,500 and $20,000. Chicago, April 7.—(?\—Two armed men, their facex shadowed by j closely drawn caps and partly cov- ered by black netting masks, last night robbed the express car of the | Chicago and Alton Lincoln Limited | of cash and valuables variously esti- mated from’ $2,400 to $2 as the train sped between Joliet and Chi- . Gotthoff, the express mes- senger, told Union Station police that there was $20,000 or more in cash, drafts and. bonds in the safe. Express company officials declined to estimate the amount taken, al- though Stephen Healy, chief special |avent of the company, denied that |the safe contained $20,000 in valu- ables. Another unofficial estimate was that the $2,400 ia currency was obtained from the car’s strong box. Boarded Train at Joliet The robbers, who appeared to be !about 22 yeurs old, and short in stature, boarded the train at Joliet, the last stop before Chicago. They entered the combination smoking- express car and trussed and gagged Gotthoff and the conductor, James Connery. Gotthoff was forced at a revoly- er’s point to reveal the combination of the express company safe, Frank nglass, dining car employe, and George Mitchell, a negro porter, en- tered the car while the robbery was in progress, and were overpowered, bound, gagged and placed on the floor with Gotthoff and Connery. Contents of the safe were placed {on the floor of the car and the nego- ‘tiable and non-negotiable paper separated. The latter was burned. The remainder was divided between jthe two.
