§365000 N LOOT RETURNED TOU. 5. James Murray, Rondout, Mail| Gang Member, Makes Res- toration of Bonds. By the Associated Press. “CHICAGO, November 19.—The morn- ing papers said today that James Mur- Tay, former West Side politician, now gdrvm a_25-year sentence in Atlanta leral _Penitentiary, had turned over to the Government $385,000 in nego- tiable bonds, representing his share in the loot of the $2.000,000 Rondout mail robbery of June 12, 1924. Return of the bonds was in connec- tion with the filling at Washington of nn lpplluuon for commutation of sen- wm: Murray's share returned, there remains only about $14,000 unrecovered. ‘That sum is believed to have been taken by Willlam J. Fahy, who was convicted ‘with Murray and who is also serving a 25-year prison sentence. Called Master Plotter. Fahy, who was regarded as the ace of sleuths in the postal inspection serv- {ce, was called the master plotfer of the robbery, although he took no actusl part in it. United States'Attorney George E. Q. Johnson said the settlement was made by Murray last Spring, the transaction being handled at Washington by Grant Miller, chief postal inspector. ‘The Rondout robbery occurred as the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul fast mail train No. 57 was pulling out of Chicago with large shipments of money and securities for the Northwest. Near Rondout two men overpowered the en- gine crew, and the train was brought to & stop near a deserted crossroad." Tear Bombs Thrown. Robbers sprang from along the tracks and forced an entrance to the mail car with tear bombs. All sacks containing valuable mail were tossed into waiting automobiles. Members of the train crew opened fire as the robbers fled and ofe of the gang was wounded. The wounded bandit, Joe Newton, was found the next day and confessed. While police were guarding the house, Murray appeared and was arrested. Ramifications of the plot led to Texas and Oklahoma. .l Norway 1s ' experimenting with the possibilities of replacing aluminum for tin in the canning of foods.

By the Associated Press. BREMERTON, Wash, November 19.—Use of the Navy’s fine new aircraft carrier Lexington to help alleviate an electric power shortage in Seattle and Takoma was asked yesterday by the mu- nicipal power plantsof the two cities. Unusually dry weather all Fall has depleted water supplies in reserve ba- sins, cutting down the water power sup- ply for the big municipal hydro-electric plants. The power officials suggested thnt the Lexington, whose generators are capable of producing 212,000 horse- power if necessary, could be berthed at Tacoma. Her generator could feed power to the Tacoma municipal distri- bution system, which in turn woulg/up- ply it to Seattle. The matter was submitted to the Navy Department at Wlshlnm which promptly ordered the vessel held here “until further instructions.” MAN AND GIRL HELD IN LIQUOR KILLINGS Two Brothers Believed Slain in | we Moonshiners’ War- fare.
