at :lic Toln5s Police Court before Justice Pow r.
Mr. Donnell, the financial agent OF St Joseph in
this city, produced in eyid d-nco The four kilograms
which were Published in yesterdays TRIBUNE,
and W. n. Coler testified 90 tho attempt OF The men
20 sell him he bonds. Afterhcirins tins te etimony
the Justice remanded them to jail. Mr. DOnnell re-
ceiyed a cleTam yesterday morning from StJoseph
saving that cx-Mayor Piner Register Ringo and
CITY Marshal CrliC OF that place are on their way
70 this city and viii probably reach here on Tues
day MI Donnell, who has large property interests
in 81. Joseph, consisting of houses, farms and
bloodcd stock, was asked last night If ne thought
any OF the authorities OF that city who defeated
in the recent election were implicated in the rob-
berry of the bonds.
"No-o." he said. slowly and after pause
" hardly think IOn know that country is over
run with desperate men Of the Jesse James stripe
1t was his home, and think It possible that these
men mas have been of his gang We cannot tell
ANYTHING with certainty until the arrival of the St
Jose pa authorities"
Captain Caffrey, in whose charge the prisoners
are was asked if they had taken him inio their
iidcnce and confessed. "They are not the men
TO do that" SAID the Captain. "1hey are too ily,'
They keep their mouths shut close, and although
they may whisper TO each other in their cells and
be heard only an open grating being between them,
they have not spoken a word TO each other since
we have had them here. They old hands. of
that be assured and am strongly inclined to think
Fiske is one of the James gang He is COOL des
pcrate looking man, dark cOnpleXIOned, brown eyes
and wears heavy, sandy beard. Irwin seems to
be guided by him in everything Fskc
said to me to-day that when he got back
to ST. Joe he would show them out
there that he was innocent. That is all they
have said on the subject. They talk some gen
eral subects-while were taking them to the
court and back this morning about the weather and
the tall buildings. They remarked on the height
of the TRIBUNE building especially. | walked
behind them ana the officers and carried the sltchc
iul of bonds, and 1t made me tired before got
there. ! asked Fiske why he ate SO little and he
said, a man hasn't much chance to get up
an appetite in this little cage" 1t is my opinion
those men took those bonds themselves from the
REGISTERS safe. 1t could be readily done. IN an
Office crowded like a public Office, with the safe
generally open, an expert and bold thief could find
the opportunity. But we Will know all about it
when The officers arrive from ST. Joe. There is a
requisitIon from the Governor of Missouri on the
way here now and II VIII get here about the same
time as the Western ofiicalsp
The two men Will be taken lefOrc Justice Smith
at the I0mbs Court tnis morning and Will probably
be remandcd until tomorrow. when the Western
authorities expected to be present
