Ii appears that as the train was NOV

the express car from the forward end,
and suddenly advancing upon Megget
| (who at that moment was alone in the
car asserting his money packagls), ere
sented pistol to his breast. Megget

Der fired the revo yer ~hio1 shattered

At the instant of the explosion the

the car before Megget could recover
from the shock occasioned by his wound.

toward the city. leaving behind two men

Tue robber made his way into the
