TEE GAS.COMPANY ROBBERY
THE FURRY OF EXCITEMENT
concerningthe 81, 900 robbery having slightly
worn off, some of the witnesses Of the daring
and successfully-planned affair were able
yesterday to give a far more concise
account Of how it was done, than
was published in yesterday morn
ing's issue. Mr.. Wells knew very
well, of course what happened to him and
his driver, Harry Anders, and was able to
tell very straight story Of all that he knew
about it. But he neither knew what imme-
diately preceded the attack nor exactly what
followed it, as he was hammered into insensi-
bility, and his pummeled head covered by a
blanket SO that he could not see too much.
