LIrrIE ROCK. ARK. December 4
The excitement here over the tniL
robbery has continued undated, and the
officers q the law have been a work
necessarily fcrrcting out the culprits. Il
was well known that Cook
and Clizord and young Adolphns Parker
had been arrested. and there has been
from the 1rst but little doubt Of
their guilt, though young Parker's
friends have strongly asserted bis
Innocence. and his father has en-
ployed the most able counsel IN
the city 70 take his case in hand. shortly
after DON IL was learned that one Frank
Kline, : German 1 u the employ Of Louis
Koers, the Scott street wagon-mahDr,
had not been seen since last week.
Investigation showed that he had
been seen frequently u late with Cook
and Clifford, and his mysterious disap-
pearance at once fastened the suspicion
Of the officers upon him and confirmed
the guilt Of the others already In custody.
Early In the day Sunday sheriff Robert
w. Worthen and Frank Botsford, Chief
Of Police, together with Colonel II. II.
Hottaker, Detective J. >. Kinney, Of the
Missouri Pacific force, and Detective
Dave Adams put their heads together to
lay out . plan Of action.
