few minutes until one of the robbers
asked, Amt you going to open up the
door and come out? l told them l was
not coming out. Then 1 heard them walk
under and around the car, and another de-
mand was made for me to hop out. 1 made
no reply to that. They then stationed enc
man at each corner of the car between me
and the baggage car, and five shots were
fired simultaneously from different quar-
tiers, all ranging towards the center of the
car. These were the shots that struck me
one on the finger, one on the hip and
Ii just below the breast, near the
watch pocket. They then got up on the
end OF the car to uncouple the train,
whereupon I fred two shots through the
end Of the car.
A this time they heard No. 2, the west
bound express train, coming. They
backed our train up and went on the
side track, and sent two men down the
road to meet No. 2. When it came up
I heard Conductor Clement ask Cassin,
What are you doing here ? I want to
speak to you The robbers aimed their
guns at Clements head and told him to
pull out, and he pulled out.
