McCoy, aged 26, of | this city, express messenger on the train, bas been in the employ of the Wells-Fargo for three years. This is his first experience with robbers. “I was busy fixing up some baggage to be left at Richmond,” he said, “when I heard the pistol shots. I immediately thought of robbers and began extinguishing the lights. I was just extinguishing the last lamp when I felt, or heard, a tap on the window. A deep voiee commanded me to open the door. ‘I will give you three seconds te open the door,’ was the command. I looked up and saw the barrel of a revolver leveled at me. I opened up. Two men jumped into the car. I told them I could not open the safe and they blew it open.” Engineer William Price, who lives in Springfield, said: ‘The first inti mation I had that anything was wrong was an exclamation of sur prise from my fireman, Frank Har ris I turned to see what caused it. Three men were on the coal and within six or eight feet of us. They all had their guns leveled at us and one of them said: ‘Stop this train.’ I looked down the barrels of the EXPRESS CAR LOOTED. Three Masked Robbers Hold up a rain Near Lebanon. Mo. Wells-Fargo Safe Cracked and its Con- tents Removed. Lebanon, Mo., April 1.—The east- bound cannon ball train, No. 6, on the St. Louis and San Francisce raliroaG, was held up three miles east of this city at 1:05 a. m. today by three masked men, and the safe was blown open and robbed. The robbers boarded the train at place at 12:50 a. m., and after reach ing the scene of the robbery, held up the engineer and fireman, stop ped the train, and with the engineer in front of them, marched to the ex- press car. The messenger refusing to open up, the door was blown open with dynamite, the safe cracked and its contents removed. Several pack- ages of valuable papers were found this morning beside the track, and also some money, which had been overlooked in the hurry of departure. The robbers ran the detached Jo- comotive about four miles from the point where they robbed the train and killed her fire and took to the |on broad hand black slouch hat, no| guns and did not see what else there woods.

I could not identify any of them if I saw them ~ CONDUCTOR PRICE TELLS THE STORY. The conductor, C. J. Price, wes able to tell perhaps the best story of the robbery. “We left the station at Lebanon at 1 o'clock this morn- ing,” he said, “after taking on a half dozen passengers. I got on the rear Pullman sleeper, ‘Sinaloa,’ and walk- ed toward the baggage car. I reach ed the front end of the baggage ear when we were about six minutes out of Lebanon. A man, who afterward turned out to be one of the robbers, was in the smoking car, and he gave me a ticket for St. Louis. When I opened the door leading to the blind | baggage, two men who were stand-| ing on the rear platform of the ex- press car, masks over their faces and revolvers in their hands, began curs- ing me. They ordered me back into| the car and began to fire into the air to frighten the passengers and myself. | “I went back into the smoker, but | as I did so the bandits pulled the bell rope and the man from whom I had taken a ticket covered his face} es ster a with a white cloth that had two holes |: eut in it for his eyes, and leveled his | Po" revolver at meas I brushed by.

St. Mo, April 1.—The Wells-Fargo & Co express officials here say the amount of money se- cured by the robbers who held up the St. Louis and San Francisco train near Lebanon this morning was only $1,277.

Then the executioner undertook to apply the screws, but was so excited that his hand slipped repeatedly, with the result that the victim died by slow strangulation, emitting the while the most distressing cries. The second execution was accom- plished with even more distressing awkwardness, the executioner being almost on the verge of collapse as be performed his horrible function. The protests of the officers and priests foreed Ruiz to undertake the third execution, but he did little bet ter than his assistant had done. The fourth victim of the bungling garrotters was likewise tortured, and then Ruiz literally fled from the post, leaving his assistant to put to death the fifth of the unfortunate Cubans, who escaped none of the agonizing experiences that had at- tended the execution of their lowe.; The whole affair has left upon those who witnessed it and upon those to whom it has been described | 1n the aggregate to the sum of $3.57 to- a feeling of the utmost horror.
