The San Jose Eaul Robbery.
SAN JOSH, August 14th.-The sensational
bank robbery of yesterday continues to be
the principal topic Of conversation. Theo-
ries are plentiful, but few facts of import
ance have been developed. The manage
ment, which tried 10 COntine the knoWI-
edge of the robbery to the San Jose police
office, is everyw here condemned as a stupid
blunder, and the opinion is universally
expressed that had Manager Mclaughlin
rushed into the street and proclaimed his
loss, or even by more Quiet means made 1t
generally known without loss Of time in
stead of being persuaded to follow the ira
ditions Of backwoods constables, his
chances for recovery would have been in
iinitely better. Even Sheriff Branham,
San Jose's one criminal officer OF any note
was not informed Of the act until he
learned OF Il by chance nearly an hour at
ter its occurrence. Had he been placed in
charge the facts would undoubtedly have
been teleSraphed TO San Francisco and
elsewhere in time to do some good.
The impression IS prevalent that while
the men who went to Maytield and San
Mateo had some connection with the Job,
the principals and the coin are still in this
vicinity. The dummy tray and It's gilde0
rolls at the police Office attract much atten~
ton. The tray is identical with those ut
the robbed bank and also at the County
Treasury. These, which were purchased
Of Chas. Waltz, agent OF screw-doCT safe
in San Francisco, are different from those
used in other banks here, and it is believed
that the dummy was purchased ct the same
place, which may furnish a clue.
So far the only fact of importance discOY-
cred to-day is that farmer named FTede-
rick Rose, living at Berryessa, saw a man
come out of the bank with q tray under his
arm, but Rose has yet beeh interviewed.
The bank now offers St, 500 reward for all
the coin and the conviction of aI con-
cerned, or 500 for each conviction and
twenty per cent. of the amount recovered.
The following are the descriptions sent
out by the Sheriff: The first man was 80
years old, feet inches high weight 100
pounds, short, light coat, and dark soft hat
Second man-Six feet, so years old, Light
complexion, slim features, short beard and
mustaChe, sandy complexion, dark clothes
and dark straw hat Third man
Five feet or Z inches, 50 years
old, heavy set, long black whiskeTs
and mustache, dark complexion and round
features Fourth man-Fiye feet OF 7
inches, % years old, weight $50 pounds,
