The robbers boarded car as the train stopped at Ale: station almost within sight of Washington monument and bound and gagged the messenger in ap- proved fashion. The speed and noise of the moving train apparently dis- couraged them in their efforts to open the safe, so they rolled it out the car door as the train was slowing up for a bridge and then jumped after it. The helpless messenger rode on, and the robbery was not discovered until after the train reached three hours later. Two suspects applied for lodgings in Alexandria in the early morning and disapeared later.

Within a few minutes the avenue was choked for blocks with traffic. From windows of hotels, apartment houses and homes nearby women watched the struggle in the street. According to the pglice seventy tailors employed by the firm of Berg- dorf and Goodman quit work recently when the firm refused to reinstate two men wha had been discharged.
