was stated in the story published in the HERALD
last Wednesday that Romane asserted that the body
was taken away1 'before midnight" OF November
6. and that it placed in zinc-lined trunk
prepared for it. From the churchyard it
was conveyed in wagon to place IN
10th street, Harlem. From New York to Platts-
burg is q journey by the Delaware and Hudson
Canal Company Railroad (Champlaln division) OF
eleven hours Now surprising one Of the robbers to
have gone on the usual morning train to Platsburg
and taken the znc-lined trunk with him personal
luggage he and the trunk would have arrived at
Plattsburg on the evening of the 9TH of November.
say nine or ten O'Clock the latest This would give
him an entire night entire day to get his lug
gage to Montreal which is distant from Plattsburg
by the most devious route only sixty miles.
What was the size of the zipc-lined trunk 10
one as yet knows; to Morris. the Waterman.
who saw it taken out Of the canal boat.
1t seemed like box about three feet
wide by six feet long. When it taken out
he says ii after eight O'Clock at nightat time.
in fact. when it would be rather difficult for any
who had to keep at respectful distance to ac-
curatey measure box or trunk. However. 1t may
have been deemed matter of security by the rob-
beers to put the zinc-lined trunk described by Ro-
maine as the receptacle Of the romans. into large
box to prevent the itself from being crushed
under the coal in the canal boat. Mr.. Walling. as
Stunning that the body was sent to Plattsburg as
freight and not taken personal luggage asserts
that it could have reached Montreal by the 9th of
November. All that need be said this point is that
the body stolen on tho night of the 9th of
November, before midnight; that Romano says it
was sent from New York by the early tran from the
Grand Central Depot to Plattsburg; that Platts-
burg is but eleven hours from New York by rail, and
the canal boat that is supposed to have taken
to Montreal towed there by steamboat and not
by horses and that tho boat. according to the Mon
treal despatch. made 'fast trip" Evidently Mr..
walling has idea that the story from Montreal
was to the effect that body all the way from
New York by canal boat II that were so his eight
days would ut his theory beautifully.
