As failed to give your foreman the
particulars of the robbery as l prom
ised to when | was in your Office and
was called away, I will now give
them, as near as | can.
On Monday night, the 21st inst. :,
about 3 o'clock, two men called at the
gate of Ashford W oodwards yard
calling for Atherton, man farming
for Mr. Woodward. Aiherton being
hard of hearing, Mr.. Woodwork went
to the door and asked what was want
ing. They said they wanted to sae
Anterior a minute. Mr.. Woodward
called Atherton and told him he was
wanted at the gate. Anterior walked
to the gate when one of the men told
him he was United States officer and
arrested him for passing counterfeit
money, and began tieing him. They
then took him in the house. One of
them stopped at the door. the other
entered, pistol in hand and ordered
Mr.. Woodward to take a seat. He
then went into Athertons room and
searched it very closely, finding moth.
ing that they wanted. he then went
back into Woodward's family room
and ordered Woodward, Anterior and
Atherton's wife, into Atherton's room,
leaving no one in the room but Mrs.
Woodward, who has been confined TO
her room by sickness, for nearly year
being very old, and told her if she did
nottell him where the money was, he
would kill all the family and burn the
house. She told him where Mr..
Woodward kept his money, s175 in |
paper money, and about S25 in silver. |
The one who came into the house was
the other one stopping at the |
door, they don't know whether he was
masked or not. After robbing the
house, the one in the house told the
one at the door to watch until he
brought the wagon and they would |
take Anterior to Owensboro that
night. Some ten or fifteen minutes
after, MIR. Woodward heard a call be-
tween the house and the road, and the
man at the door shut the door and
left. The next morning il was dis
covered that there had been two
horses inside of wheat field, near the
house, shod all around. The trail was
followed to the intersection of the Cal
noon, Hartford and Owensboro roads.
