Both of them had the matter in contempla- tion some time, and both were seeking a pub- Jic place to commit the crime. Each pre- pared carefully weeks before 2 written state- ment and defense of his crime. In the first case, Booth delivered his statement to an actor named Matthews, who was in such dread of having it found in his possession that he read itand burned it. Booth left his statement with Mr. Matthews to be delivered. to John F. Coyle, then editor of the Na- tonal Intelligencer, and desired it to be published to the country. This man Gui- teau had the same ambition to have the rea- son for his crime published, and, so far as I have been able to ascertain, BOTH STATEMENTS ARE SIMILAR IN CIAn- ACTER. Booth regarded the assasination of Lincoln gs necessary to the restoration of the su- remacy of the South in the control of the Na- Yonal Governinent. He thought that, so long as Mr. Lincoln was President, the South would continue to be oppressed. Gui- teau regarded the assasination -of Mr. Garfield as securing peace and harmony of the Republican party. Guiteau followed Gen. Garfield in his carriage. Booth’s idea was w shoot Lincoln in some public place, and he had no desire to conceal from the public the fact that he committed the crime. GUITEAU’S IDEA WAS EXACTLY TNE SAME. Je expected to kill Garfield in church in the presence of a thousand people, spring into a cartiage and ride immediately to jail. Booth assasinated Mr. Lincoln in a_ theatre, sprang upon the stage, and had his means of escape, after appearing in the presence of °,000 peuple. One was an actor accustomed to the theatre. It was the arena of ost public significance to him. The other was a inan accustomed to speak inchureh on retizious subjects and to dis- cuss theological points. The church was in lus mind the most conspicuous. place tor the public commission of this crime. Both of them were men of inordinate vanity. THERE 13 ANOTHER COINCIDENCE. ‘When Booth was captured ina _barn, in his diary he says that there was ‘ Very little left to clear my name. ‘The Government will not allow itto be printed.” And Guiteau com- plains that the Government will not allow his | detense to be printed, in almost the exact same language.” * Does he know that the President lives 2” “He has not been permitted to sce the papers, but he can tell from hissurroundings, by seeing the flags flying, and not hearing the bells toll, that he lives.” THWARTED BY PROVIDENCE.

Special Dispatch to The Chicago Tribune, Davenront, la., July 16.—One of the eye- witnesses of the robbery of the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific passenger train last night was Mr. C. H. Murray, the express messenger. He came in on his regular run at 11 o’clock this morning, looking a good deal the worse for his encounter with the desperadoes, Mr. Murray has been in the ex- press business for fifteen years. The last six years he has been running on the South- western Division of the Rock Island, between “Davenport and Kansas City. Your repre- sentative called upon Sir. Murray at his home, No. 520 Ninth street, this afternoon, and found him lying upon the sofa. In an- swer to your correspondent’s request he de- tailed THE FOLLOWING ACCOUNT: “We get our stuff at Kansas City, but on Jast night we had a very light trip of both money and freight,—lighter than usual.. We had seven bars of silver bullion, weighing about 150 pounds apiece. At Cameron, Mo., we worked the Atchison train, giving and receiving freight at that station. At Winston the baggagemian took on some freight, but no express business was done there. We pulled out of Winston, Conductor William Westfall jumping on the head end of the smoking-car to go through the train for tickets, as he always does. We left Winston about on time, 9:30 o’clock. Being in the ex-. press-car I did not see what transpired in the smoker, but a passenger told me as follows: A MASKED MAN AROSE FROM HIS SEAT and,.approaching the conductor as he came along, said: ‘You are my prisoner.” ‘the conductor had not time to makea word of reply when the stranger pulled out a revolver and shot him. The conductor reeled against the seat, and attempted to go out the rear door of the car, when the robber fired again. Westfall managed to get out on the plat- form, where he fell down and rolled off the car to the ground dead. after the report of the shots the train suddenly stopped. We, that is, [ and the baggage-man, Frank Stampes, were standing between two trunks in the middle of the car at the time. Just after the train stopped Baggageman Stampes stepped to the north-side door to see what was the- matter. The door was open to ad- mit of ventilation; as the night was very warm. Without warning Stampes WAS GRABBED BY THE LEGS by four masked men. Their spokesman said: *Come out, you—— of a——, come out.’ At this they pulled him out. When they got him down on the ground they told him if he moved or spoke a word they would kill him, The robbers then shot into the express car twice. Knowing pretty well what was com- ing, I had ensconced myself behind the sample trunks. The four men then jumped into our car and put the lights out. As they did this I got out of my place and went over toward the locomotive end of the car. The robbers were looking for me, as I heardthem say especially, ‘Where is the other ——- of a —? Shoot the cuss.’ Tne robbers, think- ing probably I had left the car, also deserted it for the time being. I jumped up and barred the end door next to the smoking car und shut the south side door. Then I barred the door next to the engine. THERE WAS SOME FIRING DONE AT THE CAR while L was locking the doors, but howmany shots I don’t remember. One ball went through the door, missing me by about three inches. After running about half a mile the train came to astop, as it was started imme- diately after the road agents pulled the bag- gageman out. Just as I was barring the out- side door, the last one of the four, the rob- bers came to that side. Four of them rushed into the car and began shooting again. Low many shots they fired I don’t know, but afterward we counted twelve bullet-holes in that end of the car which were shot on the inside. At almost every shot they would keep up the yell, ‘Come out, you —— ofa NEW YORK. mee York, July 16.—Garfield fund, $147,- 75. CHICAGO. SOUTHERN SYMPATHY. In the course of a conversation yesterday with Col. S. T. Jenkins, of Atlanta, Ga., Western Commissioner for tne World’s Fair tobe held at Atlanta this fall,a TripuNE reporter asked the gentleman what his obser- vation had been with regard to the feeling in the South in referénce to the President's assasination. “I wish you could have traveled through the South as 1 have.” was his reply, “and seen the feeling of the people there. The news of the assasination touched the hearts of all, aud it was no uncommon sight to see ereat, strong, big-hearted men with tears in their eyes,—men who voted against Garfield, and, if need be, spent their money and did everything in their power to defeat his elec- tion. But when he was elected, they were squarely for him, and [think I may say that there is no more sympathy in the North for Garfield to-day than there is in the South. Every man in the country—in the South as everywhere else—who has a spark of pat- riotism in him feels the keenest sympathy for Garfield, and nothing but abhorrence and Getgstation of the assasin and his’ dastardly eed.’ “Tow has Garfield’s Administration ap- peared to suit the people in the South ?”? “The Southern people are inclined to think him disposed to do right and to be just to ali sections and all classes, though it would be too much to expect that they should sympathize with the principles of the party he represents. But they recognize in hima good man, and who seems anxious to do his duty and fo do right, just about us nearly as he knows bow, and ‘they aamire him, and second his efforts. This feeling was already yery perceptible before the assasination, butit has been doubly so since. _In_ fact, it has been very outspoken indeed, Iwas in Cincinnati at the time I first heard the news of the ussasination, and don’t believe any- body there experienced a feeling of rreater sadness than I did. As for the people in the South, J ean say, on the honor of a man, that Thave not heard a single word of unkindness towards President Garfield—not even from achild,—but, on the other hand, the expres- sions of the Southern people have been uni- formly those of sympathy and good will, and of hope for his speedy recovery.” THE TELEGRATHERS. ‘The telezranh operators of this city, who nearly worked their nails off at the Chicazo Convention last summer, and who literally had the future President’s name on their fin- ger-tips scores—nay, hundreds—of times, have very appropriately united in the follow- ing expression of their sympathy and regard for one whom they have reason to know so well.

One fellow went towards the safe, then turned around, landed me the key, and told me to unlock the safe. 1 did so at the point of four revolvers, threw the cover back, and leaned up against the side of the car.” The one who appeared to be the leader pulled out of his coat-pocket a sack two feet long by a foot and a half in width. He took the money and all the contents of the safe and put them into the sack. While doing this he asked me several times how much money there was. I told him I didn’t know, but there was quite a little pile of it ‘Then he demanded, ‘Is that all you have got? Give me the rest of it’ told him it yas all the car contained of value except ‘THE SEVEN SILVER BRICKS ON THE FLOOR He answered, ‘lwant the restof it or I'll kill you?

Fi The sleeping-car conductor, J. J; South- worth, was found at the Kimball Houge, and interviewed to the following effect. Ie says: “Thad got through with taking up my tickets and had just passed through: train to seo if there might be ‘other parties wanting a berth, When 1 reached the smoker, and at the moment I was four seats from the door, Conductor Westfall forced the front end door of the car open and got down on the platform next the bageage-car. One'of the robbers enteted close bebind him and witha rysh. He said to the conductor, ‘ You are the man I want!” He held in each hand a long navy revolver, opening fire on Westfall with the revolver in his right hand. Me then fired with his left hand, at the same time exclaiming, J, “THROW UP YOUR HANDS.’ Iran out of the car ahead of Westfall. I think from the blood and brains on the floor that Westfall reccived his fatal shot at the end of ‘the car and rolled off.” Conductor Southworth says that not a.passenger in th sleeper or in the two coaches was interfer with, and the fobbers did not enter these cars atall. The robbers evidently boarded the train ut Winston, first displaced the en- gineer and fireman by knocking them off the locomotive, put two of their own men in charge, and then did their work as described. A stonemason residing at Wilton, who boarded the train at Cameron, was shot and killed as he stood on the platform of the first coach next to the smoker. Me must have been mistaken for the conductor, Superintendent Kimball, of the Rock Jsland Road, offers a reward of $5,000 for the arrest. and conviction of the ringleader of thd gang. BELIEF THAT THE ROBBERS WERE PROFES- SIONALS. The generally-accepted theory out on the road is that the robbers were professionals. One of them (the tallest one) was seen in Cameron all day yesterday, and could be identified by several people. Men who have been searching for the robbers to-day found where they nad their horses tied in the woods, and say that in their hurry to get away they did not untie them, but cut the halters and left them hanging to the trees. CONDUCTOR JAMES WILATT, of the Rock Island, who arrived this morning, reports that he had a conversation with the engineer of the ill-fated train, who said that, when a few yards away from Winston sta- tion, the bell was pulled, and he stopped the train. On looking around he saw two men with drawn revolvers sitting on the box on the tender, one of whom said, “Go on, you———;” and he did go on. He pulled the throttle clear out, and away the train went. Healso put the light out, for the men commenced to shootat him, and, as they followed him into the cars, he ran out on to the pilot until the train was stopped about a mile from Winston, when the men ran off into the woods. When the train was first stopped the bageageman stuck his head outof the door to see what the matter was, and a: man_ pulled him out on. the ground feet foremost, while two of them jumped into the car. ‘The bazgageman jumped on the train and saw Conductor Westfall as_he rell from the car. Dut could not assist him. When the three men in the smoking-car commenced shooting, one of them said: ‘“ We will have to kill him [Westfall] because he is armed,” and then coinmenced firing, and where West- fall fell off was not over 200 yards from Winston Station, and where the robbers left the train was about a mile. The express officers here refuse to divulge anything as to the amount of money secured by the robbers, and possibly the sum is not so large as at first supposed. is THE PURSUIT. EXCITEMENT AT KANSAS CITY. Special Dispatch to The Chicaeo Tribune. Kaysas City, Mo., July 16.—The daring robbery of the Chicago, Rock Island & Pa- cific train last night at Winston and the cowardly killing of Conductor Westfall have been the chief topic in express and railway circles to-day. Early this morning the Chief of Police and County Marshal were notified to beon the lookout for the robbers, as it was thought they were making towards Liberty, in Clay County, or Jackson. Several large posses of men have been scouring the coun- try, and, about daylight, the spot where the robbers had their horses tied in the woods was discovered. The men were in such haste to leave that their halters were cut, not un- tied, and the trail-was in the directionof Clay County. The Sheritf of Gallatin, WITH ONE HUNDRED MEN, atonce started on the trail, but, as the men had seven or eight hours the start, it isnot known how far it was followed. Sheriff Timberlake, of Clay County, weut.to Cam- eron this morning, but, at3o’clock p. m., was brought back by special train at sixty miles an hour, and at Liberty fifty men, heavily armed, started east to head off the robbers, who, it is thought, were trying to reach the wild bottoms of the secluded Graud River country. ‘he opinion is gaining ground very fast that the gang is the same old one, headed by Jesse and Frank James; that the reason for their aking towards Clay Coun- ty isto get into a county where they are well known. MRS. SAMUELS, mother of the boys, still lives near Kearney Station, a few miles from Liberty, and it is from that point that the gangs started, headed ‘by Jesse, which robbed ‘the Missouri Pacific train at Otterville, in 1876, and afterward met such a terrible Waterloo at Northfield. The party that robbed the Chicago & Alton. train at Glendale in 1879, also started from Mrs. Samuels’ neighborhood, and allofficials here think this last ‘outrage was perpetrated by the same gang. A report was current here, at 6 o’clock, that the robbers were surround- ed, about fifteen miles from Liberty, and that THEIR CAPTURE OR DEATH * was almost certain. Another report is to the effect that the Sheriff’s posse trom Gallatin had driven them into the timber between Cameron and Liberty. Marshal Murphy, of this county, is ready to start at a moment’s notice with fifty picked men, and if the’ rob- bers cross the Missouri River a warm recep- tion will met them, and it is hardly possible for them to escape. : AT’ LEAVENWORTH. ‘ Special Dispatch to The Chicago Tribune, | Leavesworth, Kas., July 16.—Your cor- respondent has just arrived at 11:30 p.m. from the scene of the train robbery at Wins- ton, onthe Rock Island Road. The main facts in the case have already been reported in the telegraphic dispatches, to which I can add that there is little doubt in the minds of Mareus A. Lowe, attorney of the railroad, and Sheriff Brown Crosby, of DaviessCounty, as to the identity of the robbers, which are as follows: Jesse and Frank James, Pope Wells, Jim, Cummings, Palmer, a brother-in-law of the James boys, Miller, 2. brother of L.

Among old des- peradoes who are still at large, and most of whom were engaged in some of the most DARING AND DESPERATE ROBBERIES known, are Ed Miller, Jim Cummings, and Diek Little. My theory is that these men mounted the train, and men were stationed on the platform to watch the baggagemen, while the men in the smoker . were placed there to sce that the conductor or any one else should neither surprise them nor enter the baggage-car. In the eventof the con- ductor entering the baggage-car he would have discovered the men on the platform, and the train-hands would have been prepared to give tne robbers a warn recep- tion. Besides, they could not have entered the bageage-car by giving the conductor's signal of Kicking on the door, Then the ane of the tall man indicates a great deal 10 Dae, A LONG LINEN DUSTER will hide an arsenal, and, if you were to ride out now and meet Ed Miller, or any_ of the old-timers, you would find them wearing Jong linen dusters, and no weapons would be visible.

AT HEADQUARTERS. OFFICIAL DISPATCHES TO THE RAILROAD AND EXPRESS OFFICIALS. The robbery of the Rock Island train near Winston Station, Mo., Friday night was one of the boldest outrages ever committed in that crime-stained section, where the James and Younger brothers have held undisputed sway for so many years. The Rock Island officials feel pretty sure that the James brothers were the leaders of the gang which robbed their train Friday night and killed two of their men. They believe that the ban- dits dia not care so much for the plunder as they did to wreak vengeance upon Conduct- or Westfall. He was a conductor on the Hannibal & St. Joe when the James brothers attacked and robbed a train on that road, and he had charge of the train which carried the Pinkerton posse which was sentin pursuit of the robbers. He was with the party that killed one of the James brothers and threw a bombshell into their mother’s house which wounded her severely, and from the effects of which she afterwards died. It appears from the accounts received here yesterday that at about 9 o’clock Friday night at the first station west of Winston, the train was boarded by soine ten or fifteen men. ‘hey were thought to be ordinary passengers, and no special notice was taken of them. Just east of Winston Station and about ten wjles east of Cameron, the train suddenly stopped. Conductor Westfall stepped off the train to ascertain the cause of the stoppage. But he had barely got off when the train moved on again, and he went back to the smoking-car. Just as he was about entering the car he was confronted by two men who had been standing on the platform, one of whom at once leveled his revolver at him and fired, the ball pass- ing through his arm. Terror-stricken, the conductor ran through the smoker to escape from his assailants, who pursued him close- jy, and fired two more shots at him, both of which took effect, and upon reaching the rear platform of the smoker he felt down and expired without uttering a word. While this tragedy was being transacted, a gang of men, about,ten in number, passed through the coaches firing their revolvers at random through the roofs, and threatening to kill any passenger who would not remain perfectly quiet or made an attempt to leave the train. Severalof them then went into the baggage-car, flourishing their revolvers, and threatening TO SHOOT THE MESSENGER unless he immediately opened the safe be- longing to the United States Express Com- pany. ‘The messenger, perceiving that the men meant business, and considering dis- eretion the better part of valor, immediately opened the safe, and the robbers appro- priated all the money it contained,—about $2,000, partly in cash and partly in bonds. A stonemason named McMillan, in the employ of the Rock Island, who was on the train, tried to get off the car in spite of the warning from the robbers, and he was immediately shot dead. As soon as the robbers had secured the booty in the safe they fled from tho train and dispersed in all directions, Two of the robbers shortly after boarding the train made their way to the engine, and, by holding their revolvers at the engineer’s head, forced him to obey their com- mands while their accomplices carried on their work of robbery and = mur- der. None of the passengers were molested nor were the mails tampered with. As soon as the robbers had fled the two dead bodies were taken aboard, and after a deten- tion of about thirty minutes the train went on to Trenton. ‘The Rock Island officials feel quite certain that Westfall was either shot out of revenge by the James gang or for fear that he might know and identify some of the robbers, There could have been no other cause for killing him, as he might just as well have been intimidated as were the engi- neer and messenger. MeMillan, who was also killed, was em- ployed by the Rock Island'Company as a stone-mason, and was at work at a place called Dog’s Creck, just east of Winston. ‘A reward of $5,000 has been offered by the Rock Island Railroad Company for the capt- ure of therobbers, and no stone will be left unturned to bring the dastardly bandits to justice. The Rock Island managers say it fg a disgrace to the State of Missouri that such crimes continually recur in that section of the State where this last outrage was committed; and that if the Jaws were properly executed that part of the State would beas safeas other portions of, the country. ‘fhe credit and xood name of the State, they say, requires it now that the au- thorities should use covery means at their command in aiding the railroad company in hunting down the bandits. OFFICIAL DISPATCHES. During the afternoon a reporter called upon Mr. [ugh Riddle, President of the Chicago, Rock island & Pacific Railroad, who said that tne official reports were just beginning to come in. ‘The first information he received of the matter was a dispatch as follows: “ Davenport, Ia., July 16.—Hugh Riddle, Prest- dent, etc.:, Our southwest train, No. 2, was stopped justatter leaving Winston Inet night by robbers, who were supposed to have becn on the train: Conductor Westfall and one of the stonemasons at Dog Creek were shot and killed, Express robbed of $3,000. Ihave offered a re- , ward of $5,000. . A. KIMBALL. Immediately after the receipt of the fore- going came the following dispatch: 2-DavENFoRT, Ia., July 16, 185L—Hugh Riddle, President, etc: When the passenger train réached Davenport, I learned from tho train meh and passengers that the robbers took pos- session of the engine immediately after tho trait started from the station. The train was stopped near the section-house east of the switch-bouse, when the conductor was shot by one ofthree men, who followed in at the front end of*the smoking car. The first shot struck him in the arm. rear end of the car, and two more si fired, and be dropped dead on the rear platform ofthe smoking car. Several of the purty en- tered the baggage car, tlourisbing their revol- vers and threatening to shoot the messenger, ordered hit to open the safe, which he did. ‘The messenger says thoy got about $2,000. This was done while the train was in monon. The robbers left tho tmiin nbout three miles out reducing speed and the train went on some half mile further before stopping. Some sny there were twelve or fifteen men in the party. A great many shots were fired prob- ably to intimidate. MeMillen was shot while standing on the ground when the train tirst stopped at the section-house. No attempt was mude to rob the passengers, A. Kaman. fe ail ML RIDDLE SAID, hat, while he should use every known means to effect the capture and punishment of the villains, he had but little hope of suc- cess, since, owing to the character of the country and the inhabitants in and around Winston, he could not expect any local codperation in his attempts to secure the gang. ‘The country was sparsely settled, and even then the majority of the citizens were in perfect accord with the desperada of the region. Te had instructed the solic- itor of the road to call upon the Governor of the State of Missouri to assist the office: the Rock Islund Railroad in the premises, and he doubted not the Executive would do his utmost in the matter, : AT THE EXPRESS OFFICE. The managers of the United States Ex- press ollice in this city were informed of the tragedy and robbery early yesterday _morn- ing by brief dispatches, of which the follow- ing is a fair speciinen: ATCHISON, Kas., July 16.—J. She Si in- teudent United Staten Exxprea, Citeagos Rock Ist and train robbed last ulghtat Winston, and con- ductor Killed. Will get list ot lusses at once. - J. WESTLAKE. During the day the officials were given a copy of the official report sent to Hugh Riddle, President of the Reck Island Road, which is given elsewhere. Later in the aft- ernoon a dispatch was received from W. I. Quick, Superintendent of the Express Com- pany at Des Moines, statiny that the contents of ne sate which was robbed did not exceed. 32,000. “ Those fifteen robbers are to be pitied,” said Capt. Shepard. “Just think of them outin the woods in a lonely place, sitting | around a camp-fire, and dividing $3,000 as the price of two murdered men. Just imag- ine their feelings.” “ How do you account for so little money in the safe?” asked the scribe. “The big me from Kansas City to the East dues not go that way. What was in the safe was entirely local collections, and did not amount to anything. Big currency shi ments from Kansas City are carried burglar-proof safes.” Learning that Pinkerton’s Detective Agency probably new as much as anybody in about the operations of Western and South- ern train-robbers, a Tri reporter hunted up : _ BILLY PINKERTON, who interviewed himself on the topic as fol- lows: “The work was undoubtedly done by Jesse and Frank James, who are the only survivors of the famous James and Younger gang, the remainder being dead or in the Penitentiary. Jesse James lives in Clay County, souri, and he oan gathera party to rob trainin C) Couaty in about two days’ time. Ile has a thorough knowledge of the country, and if need be will be secreted by the citizens for months so as to avoid arrest. These people can be brought to justice, but only when, with a determined effort, the railroad companies and express folks unite and firmly resolve to push the thing to a final termination. Here is an illustration: You may have heard of a little disturbance of a similar nature down at Seymour, Ind., some years ago, Where irains were robbed. Well, those people were hung, and there is no more quiet neighborhood in America to- day than around Seymour. I have been in Missouri a good deal on busin: for our agency, and do not know Westfall. One thing is certain, he never piloted our people throuen the country, and we never knew im. : THE PASSENGERS. STATEMENTS OF THOSE WHO HEARD AND sAW. Understanding that the through passen- gers who were on the train that was robbed at Winston, Mo., would arrive at 6:05 last evening, several TriBUNE reporters were de- tailed and left at 4:15 yesterday afternoon to meet the incoming train at Englewood and interview the witnesses on the way buck to Chicago. One of the first passengers whom a Trm- UNE representative ran across was Mr. Fred- erick Henkel, who resides. at No. 386 West Adams street, 2 gentleman who is well known in the city. He was in the smoking- car when the attack was made, “I was pretty well excited,” said Mr. Henkel, “and itis hard to remember all the details.” Ue, however, told his story about as follows: “I think that it was about twenty minutes past 9 o’clock.. 1 had just had my supper, and was enjoying a cigar in the smoking-car. 1 think that the station is Princeton, Mo., where we had our supper, somewhere be- tween Cameron and Winston Station, About the time we arrived there we noticed acrowd of rather hard-looking characters about the station. They were together in groups of twos and threes. When we were through supper they yelled ‘All aboard.’ |The first we knew the train was flying along at a rapid rate, and a man, very large, thick, heavy _ set, with a biack beard, short_but thick, came tn, fol- lowed bya couple of othes. Jie was dressed, as far as 1 could notice, in a linen coat and a straw hat, and the other parts of his clothing Idow't recollect. ‘The trio came in by way of the front platform of the smoking-car, and one of them, the man with the black beard, had arevolver, cocked, in his hand. He muttered something and commenced to fire at the conductor. Tle ran out, and the others crowded up to him.” “Which way did the conductor run?” asked the reporter. “He ran towards the rear platform out of the door, where I heard more shooting. We allran back to the sleeping-cars where we belonged and threw ourselves on the floor. I only saw the gang at_the station while they ‘were in knots, and I should suppose that there were at least a dozen of them, I should think that there were four of them who came into the smoking-car. After the trouble was over we found the conductor’s lantern and his brains on the rear platform.” “Was the train stopped 2” The. conductor ran-toward-the | “No, we were on a stop when the bandits got on. The robbers held possession ot the train. ‘Three of the gang jumped on the en- gine, and with cocked revolvers compelled the engineer and fireman to submit. Th couldnt do anything else. They werearm but they could’t get a chance to use them. In the excitement they crept away from their captors and put out the headlight. They also put the air-brakes on so that THE SPEED WAS SLACKENED. At Winston, to which they ran the train, one of the brakemen jumped off and telegraphed the death of the conductor and the’ stonema- son, McMillan. The jig was up then, and the robbers ran away. “As soon as the train was in possession of the robbers, the passengers jumped down on the floor. Some of them hid under the seats. You see, it was unhealthy to be upon your feet at that time. It rained lead, and lead diet is unhealthy. ‘There were six ladies in the sleeper, and as soon as_ they heard the shooting they just dropped on the floor like the other passengers. Bhey. were frightened, hut they showed as much gritas themen. We couldn’t show much, for not one of us hada revolver. - John Me- Millan was killed with the conductor. I think that the thieves recogn them and they were put out of the way on that ac- count. “| think that the express messenger, Will- iam Murray, deserves a deal of credit for his pluck. ‘The robbers shouted to him to open the door of his car, but he persistently re- fused. They fired thirteen shots at him, but none of them took elfect. When they did break in they found him hidden between the coal-box andasample trunk. They struck him twice over the head with a revolver, but said that they would not kill him because of his grit. The robbers only got $900 in money and a $1,000 bond. There was a largeamount of bullion in the safe, but it was too heavy forthe robbersto carry away. The passengers all endeavored to hide away their watches and money. Oneof them, a Chicago drum- mer, put his valuables in the water-cooler. I wrapped mine in a pocket-handkerchief,lif ted the cover ufa spittogns Jaid it in, and put the lid on again, But the passengers were not molested. We found five bullets in, the smoker and thirteen in the baggage-car.” JOHN T. WRIGHT. *T saw Conductor Westfall shot,” said Mfr. John T. Wright, of Atchison, Kas., who was @ passenger on the train. “I think,” said he, “that the first I knew of pay excitement was about 9:30 o'clock. We had just passed Winston,—1 think that’s the name of the place,—where we took on one or two pas- sengers. A short distance from there we stopped again and took on what were su posed to afew construction hands. it was dark then, and we were in the middle of a broad prairie country. At the time..oi the commencement of the affair I was_ sitting in’ the smoking-car. The conductor was leaning over talking to a man about a ticket which was torn in two, about which he had spoken to him before. I think that hgwas talking then of putting him off. He was starting to go towards the other door when he looked back and saw a man, ugly-looking and dark visaged, enter the front door of the ear. He walked in deliberately, and West- fall seemed to recognize him atonce. The fellowed had a burnished cocked revolver in. his hand, I saw that, and as Westfall stooped over the bandit shot him, Westfall tried to run then towards the back of the ear.. There was the wildest of excitement among all on board, for we saw at once that we were in the hands of a gang of desperadoes whose ernelty could not be equaled, and whose daring seemed to know no limit. As the conductor got to_the door I heard several shots fired, and I heard some one cry out ‘Mac is shot.’ I found out atterwards that this was the stonemason, | but I didu’t know atthe time but that it was one of the gang who wasshot. Pretty soon ‘bang? went the wi door of the front of the car, and seve lets came ploughing through. ‘The tlash of the first shot aimed at Westfall went in, my face, they were so close to me. I found the bullet afterwards near the seat where West- fall had stood, Ldropped down on the floor, anda few followed my nple and others ranout. Ithink the stonemason was acci- dentally shot. “ Did the robbers say anything when they came in?” ; 2s the fellows came in one of them hissed to Westfall, ‘You're the man I want.’ Another shouted, ‘Look out,’ and I felt the flash of theshot in my face. I was daze None of the passengers were molested. ‘Th only attacked the engine, express. and smok- ing-car. ‘Three of the robbers boarded the engine, As far asieould make out there were at least eight or ten in the gang. They ran the train about a mile’ after taking pos- session. They fired through the smoking-car at the conductor because it. was a strught Ime. He was shot tirst in the right arm, when he ran out to the rear door. ‘They fired into the express car and ordered the ‘ One of the bandits *You — of , surrender. You ght as well, for we have got twelve of us here, and we can make you.’ ‘They fired through the door at the messenger, but he said that if they killed him that they could have all the treasure that was in the safe. but that he wouldn’t give anything up. They then broke open the door with an ax which they had with them. ‘They fired thirteen shots at him, but didn’s hit him. He held on to the door even while they were tearing at it with an ax, and they Baally get him down by striking him over the head with revolvers, when they got into the safe and secured $900 in cash anda $1,000 bond. When the robbers jumped off they threw the throt- tle of the engine wide open, but the engincer, owing to the faithfulness of a brakeman, who had set the air-brake, was able to control the train. The engineer and fireman wanted to go_back and pick up the body of the dead conductor and stonemason, but the passengers would not have it, lest they might be molested again, forno one on the train was armed. After the occurrence no one re- tired, but all slept on the floor, ready to run in case of an emergency.” MAJ. SCOTT J. ANTHONY, of Denver, Colo., said to the reporter: “Tboarded the train at Atchison. When we stopped at Cameron, Mo. (a point eleven miles southwest of Winston), where we had supper, two men got on and took seats in the sleeping-car, and soon engaged in an alterca- tion with the conductor ou the subject of fare. About eleven miles this side of Cameron (Winston), several more pits- sengers got in, and the conductor made * the remark that he | was afraid there was going to be trouble. There was something in the manner of the man who made a’fuss about the fare, he said, which made him think that mischief was brewing. We had not gone three-quarters of amile after we left this stoppage-place when the trouble began. Some one stepped up from the platform in front of the smok- ing-car and laid his hand ou Conductor West- fall's shoulder, as he was standing in the front part of the car, and said to him, “ You ire my- prisone! ‘The conductor dodged down and ran further into the car. At this time there were already three armed nien in the car, and when the one who had spoken to the conductor followed him in there were four. As he did so this one fired at the con- ductor twice, the first time with the revolver which be held in his right hand. ‘The ball struck the right sleeve of the conductor's coat, tearing it from a little above the wrist to past the elbow, where it entered the arm. The man fired the other revolver, and the conductor turned to leave the ear, and when he reached the platform some one else must have shot him in the back, inflicting a wound from which he died in abouttwenty minutes. About the time this happened the fireman, seeing that something was wrong, said to the engineer, ‘give her hell,’ a laconic way of tell- ing hiin to get up all the speed he could, The engincer started to do so,but at the same mo- ment three men arose from among the coals in the tender and began firing. ‘They did not hit either the engineer or the fireman with their bullets, but one of them struck the fire- man on the side of the head with a large chunk of coal. They then left the engine- cab and climbed around and took seats on the cow-catcher, while the three robbers to whom had been intrusted the job of captur- ing the engine took possession of it. But as they did this the gang who had the securing of the ex car on their hands attacked it, They obtained admission and threatened to kill the messenger—Charley Murray, a slight and lightly built man, weighing perhaps 120 pounds—if he did not give up his keys. He did as they requested and they opened the safe, Which was found to. contain $900 in mone’ $1,000 bond, and a quantity of sil- ver bullion. ‘They were intensely chagrined when they found that the safe contained so little, and asked: ‘ Where is the rest of your money, G—d d—n you?” Murray announced that that was all he had under his charge. ‘They insisted that he must produce more, to which Murray answered ‘You can’t draw blood from a turnip.” a “The leader of the seven men engaged ch the express safe robbery said savagely, ‘we! d—n you, Pil draw blood from you then,’ a the same time striking hima blow on the head with his revolver whicl laid Murray out senseless. “T have no doubt,” Maj. Anthony added, “that the gang fully intended to go through the whole train. ‘The first man who eutered the smoking-car and who fired the first shots at the conductor cried out Shands up? as he advanced. The others seemed taken aback at the large number of people they found in the car, and looked from one to another and hesitated. The one who had entered the car looked around him after he had shot a couple of times, and SEEMED TO BE SURPRISED that he was alone, and then backed out of the car, waving his revolver as he did so to keen the passengers from rising upon him.” “The passengers were considerably scared, were they not?” “Yes, I’ve been in one or two tight places before and did not feel porticularly seared. 1 was in the sleeper and I called out for every man in the car to get his weapon and prepare to do his duty. Nota soul, however, bad one on the car. ‘Then began the fun. It was amusing to see the fellows ging down tor their watches, and money, and_ other valua- bles and hunting for places to hide them in. One man who seemed in an agony of despair called out, *They can have all the money I own,’ at the same time div under a seat. ‘All Sorts of places were ‘utilized as hiding- places for money, ete. Men pulled off their boots and shoved their wads or watches into them. Spittouns were utilized for the same purpose. 1 popped my money into the pil- low,—a pretty safe place, I think, The men on the car were terribly trightened,—much more so than the women. ‘The idea prevailed that the robbers were shooting through the windows at the passengers, and as many as could find snug refuge under 2 seat stowed themselves there, and remained there until long after the firing was over. On the other hand, not a woman seemed to be a par- ticle excited. It was wonderful how coolly they took it. They now and then asked for an explanation of what was going on, and for pretty definit information as to when the affair was likely to end, but when, naturally enough, they found their curiosity could not be satistied, they remained calmly in their ‘seats and awaited future developments. “There was one at danger which we escaped, ag it were, bya miracle. When the car stopped it did so not 200 yards in front of ahigh trestle. When the robbers had com- and of the locomotive they urged the train along ata tremendous rate ot speed. Had this speed been kept up while the train was running along the trestle it would, so rail- road men tell me, have jumped the track toa dead certainty, and lave become a total wreck, with a great destruction of lite. The brakeman, Cole, however, by his opportune opening of the air-brake, slacked the train up and averted the calamity. “ ““T believe there were at least ten men in the affair, ‘There is no.doubt that the men who got om at Cameron and those who boarded the train at the next station (Win- ston) were the robbers, as they all aisap- peared after the affair. I heard it stated by parties in the smoking-car who saw-the Kill- ing of the conductor that just previous to the occurrence one of the robbers said to nim: ‘You're the man I’m after.” Now, whether they killed the conductor as a means of creating a panic so as to have a better chance of going through the car with safety, or whether they had some special ob- ject in getting him out of the way, I can’t tell. Lecannot fancy that they had’ any en- mity against Westfall, who was a very pop- ular conductor, yet the remark made to hin seems to imply that they had made up their minds for some reason to kill him. “I cannot see what object they had In killing McMillan, the mason. The chances. are that, as he had been working in the neighborhood, he had become acquainted with or familiar with the appearance of some of the robbers. Possibly he betrayed himself into a momentary recognition of oneof them, who immediately killed him to put him out of, ute: way.”” ; “Do you think the James boys had any- thing to do with the affair?” - “Tcannot tell. The man who shot the conductor was of medium hight, thin face, full but not long whiskers, gray coat and vest, anda low-crowned black hat. None of the men were masked. One of them bad a hand- kerchief whi ne oF and was left in the car, and may. become a clew by which the robbers may be discovered. It seems to me that there ought to be a good chance to catch these men. If they do not do so I feel pretty certain they will make another attack train, All they got from their rob- 20; you may say $900, as the vas a 51,000 bond which they will not be able to dispose of. Supposing thatten men were engaged in the atfair, that. will give them only $9 apiece, which is not enough to ke them out of the country. Under these cireumstances the gang will be very desperate and very ready to risk their lives again for another stake.” J.B. M’CLEARY, of Kansas City, who boarded the train at that pls ve for the purpose of coming to Chi- cago, said: “Tsaw very little of theshooting. T heard ashut just after we passed Winston, and jumped up and looked into the smoking-car, Where I saw three or four fellows coming down the aisle firing off their pistols. The people in that car and in mine, too, seemed scared to death. Big, stout men crawled down on the floor and tried to. get under the seats. One fellow had 2 pistol with him, and he cailed out from his hiding-place be- tween two seats, as he shoved the weapon up into the air, *IHere’s a pistol I don’t want; does anybody want it? Anybody can have it.” Nobody wanted the pistol, however, and. he Jaid it upon the windowsill ready for the robbers to capture when they should arrive. “The brakemen of the car acted nobly,—at least one of them named George Cole did. While the excitement was at its hight he went among the women and children, and quieted their fears as much 2s possible. ‘Then, you know, when the robbers got pos- session of the train they started it off at a terrible rate of speed, which would soon have caused it to run off a high trestle a lit- tle way ahead. Brakeman Cole rushed at the air-brake rope and pulled it, at the same time remarking: ‘That will stop you, you —scounilrels.’ The train did slack up con- siderably then for a few minutes, but then it started off again. During the slack running the engineer and fireman, who had been ~ chased to the front part of the: engine, jumped off and managed to get on the back end of the train, We were all so well pleased at the nerve displayed by the brakeman that, when we got to Gallatin, a number of. the passengers got together and passed a resolu~ tion prai him for his conduct, which was afterwards signed by all the passengers wha could be aroused from their sleep to do 80. Llere is the resolution: * Ov Toanp THe Cmcago, Rock \ Istanp & Paciric TRAIN, July 15, "81, “Wo the undersigned do hereby resolve that the brakeman, Mr, George Cole, deserves the highest praise for his bravery and heroic con- duct during the robbery of this train. We alsa tender our sympathy to the beremved relatives and friends of our unfortunate and brave con- ductor, William Westfall, who died at bis post: George P. Thomas, Dr. C. A. Kain, F.

A. ‘Watson, and others. “He was a brave man that brakeman, and he wasn’t afraid to put his head out of the window and see what was going on at tha time. Men twice as big wouldn’t peep out from under a car-seat for any money.” . *Tlow many do you think were engaged in the robbery?” "They said that there were five men in the smoking-car, seven in the express-car, and three on the engine. Then there were the couple that the Canadian saw leaping up from the fence. 4 guess there were ‘ully fif- teen or sixteen robbers in all.” “Do you think the James. brothers hada hand in the affair?” “No; the job was too poorly executed for them. ‘The.James boys are blamed for every- thing ot this kind that happens, but they don’t do work in the way this was done. ‘They do not, in the first place, take a dozen or more men along with them when they rob a train, ‘That makes too many to divide the money amongst. They could have done the job better with four men all told than this crowd, and without killing anybody. All that was necessary in this case, after the engine and express-car were captured, was to cut them lodse from the re- mainder of the train, and then they could have run it off as they wished, and robbed the- express at their leisure, "Phis is what the Jameses would have done. These burglars, after they had captured the engine, took'the trouble to cut the bell-rope, though what effect this could have had on the situa~ tion while they were in possession of the locomotive is not very clear. ‘They evidently were green hands at the business, and the chances are that some of them willbe caught. JOUN BROADFORT, of Brussels, Ontario, another passenger, who wag on his way home from Kansas, and who was in the smoking-car at the time thecon- ductor was killed, narrated his experiences as follows: “ Tsaw the conductor wher he was first fired at. I was seated in the smoking-car, in which the conductor was watkeng at the time, the shooting began. He seemed just before it to be quite ul are of any threatened danger, Suddeniy a man stepped f1 front platform half way into the passage the car, at which time the conductor was standing about two seats from him and fac- ing him. ‘This man as he stepped forward, flung forward two revolvers in the direction of the conductor, and fired. At the same moment the conductor’s arm few up into the air, the lantern he held in bis hand being lifted with it. Another shot followed im- mediately, At this time I noticed there were two inen, eacli armed with two revolv- ers, standing at the other end of the car, at the side almost of the man who was doing the shooting. Immediately after the shooting I saw the conductor lower his head suddenly and run at and butt the man who shot at him, knocking him back into a seat. ‘The conductor then made a break for the door, and as he passed him, the man arose, wheeled around and fired at him two or three times. At this time 1 was also trying to get through the door, and wo crowded it in our efforts to get out. As tho conductor reached the door he fell, pis body stretching across the car platform. Ithen rushed into the next car and told the people that the train had been boarded by robbers, at which they all rose and rushed to theother end of the car. They crowded on the plate form, and sought to get into the Pullman car, but it had been locked up. At this time pistols were banging and Hashing throw h the dark at all parts of the train. While train was moving ahead I saw a couple of men emerge from under a fence and out and flourish their pistols and point thent at the train which was beginning to run at a terrific rate of speed. The people were all terribly frightened. Men and women climbed under seats, and many of them held up their valuables, which they had removed from thelr persons, and kept begging for mercy. A greatmany were praying, and one old woman kept ap her prayers in a loud tone of voice from the mo~ inent the affair commenced until long after it subsided. I wasa good deal frightened myself. 1 was alongside of the conductor when they were firing at him, and I expected to feel it gcing into me any moment, but luckily I was not struck. I do not think any one could be blamed for losing Ins nerve, as the attuck was so sudden and everything was so tranquil before it began that there was no time for any one to collect his thoughts. I have no idea how many people were engaged in the robbery, but lam sure I heard thirty shots fired.” STEAMSHIP NEWS, : QuRENsTow™.
