ST. LOUIS Sept. "a detective Of the Express
company. who has been on the trail of the express
robbers for long time, left here for the west this
morning. He says correspondents In jackson
county gave the company warning ten days ago that
there was going to be another robbery attempted,
but neither the exact time nor place could be as
certaned, and therefore defate steps or measures
could not be taken to prevent it. The detective be-
lleyes the programme of the leaders OF the gang
contemplate another robbery before they head for
their hiding place in the southwest. He also thinks
that Jesse James and Two or three OF the older
leaders concerned in the robbery night before
last and also the one at Winston some weeks ago,
The remainder of the gang are made up OF vicious
men and criminals who reside in the neighborhood
selected for the operation, who are ever ready to
embark in any desperate undertaking IL they have
the proper leaders.
