ST. Louis, June 1O.-A special to the
Post Dispatch at BroOkfield, says: A
special train with the bank robbers, in
charge of Marshall McArthur, and fifty
men, arrived here at 80 o'clock this
morning. A great crowd received them
but there was no trouble. The prison
ers were identified as Frank, Albert and
Fred Mason, three brothers formerly of
this county. The other is evidently a
new conner. Frank is tall, dark and
brawny; Fred is short and fairer; Albert
is tall and hard looking. All are rough
looking cases. Frank MasOn's wife has
gone this morning, under an escort, to
recover the bag of gold coin, about ST..
400, which she says she hid under the
floor of the house. The four prisoners
were taken to Linnens, the county seat
this morning, Circuit Court being in
session. The prisoners are reticent and
say nothing Of the past. They agree in
saying that two of them are from Indi-
ana. The woman, who is young and
pretty, and devoted to Frank, says she
was recently from Ellsberry, Ind, and
only came to Missouri five weeks ago
She is as keen and cool as the men, and
no doubt privy to their plans. 1t is be-
lieVed they will plead guilty.
