lzgtaAE 7sYpk CINCINNATI, July 81.
The lynching of the Adams Express rob-
bers near Seymour, last night, was pre-
meditated affair, and was occasioned by
the determination of the citizens of jack
son and adjoining counties to rid them
selves of as desperate gang of robbers
and murderers as mas ever peen known.-
a family named Reno, living at Rockford,
two miles from Seymour, are the leaders of
this gang, whose operations have extended
all over the west. The Adams Express
Company have been repeatedly robbed by
these men, who, getting on board the trains
and overpowering the messenger, or by
taking possession of the engine and eX-
press car and running them off from the
train, and then leave them after robbing
the safes.
A robbery of this kind occurred lately
on the Hamilton and Dayton railroad, near
this city, whereby the American Express
Company was robbed of large amount,
the Reno family being the leaders or in
stigators in the affair. They are also the
party who led the raid in Iowa, last spring,
when SO many of the county safes were
robbed.
! On the 22d of May last the Adams Ex-
press Company's car was robbed, eighteen
miles from Seymour, of ninety-six thou
sand dollars, in which the Renos and their
friends were principal actors, some of whom
are now in Canada to avoid capture, and
others are under arrest.
On the 10th instant the Adams Express
was again attempted to be robbed, about
twelve miles west of Seymour, but the
armed guards of the company repulsed the
robbers, captured one and wounded some
of the others, two of whom have since been
captured, and for the remainder large re-
ward has been offered. sssa tmas
Val. Elliott was one of this gang and
was captured on the night of the attempted
robbery. Charles Roseberry, resident OF
Seymour, and pupil of the Renos, was
arrested by the citizens of Sey-
mour. Fred Clifton was also arrested. They
all admitted their connection with the
affair. For safe keeping they were taken
to Cincinnati, where warrants were
procured and they were put in the
