THE ADAMS EXPRESS RoBsERY.
The Affair Explained by the Thief
The Letter Regarded as a Ruse to
Screen the Messenger.

ST. LOUIS. Nov. 9.-The Globe-D Democrat
this morning prints letter dated st. Joseph
Mo-, October 81, and signed Jim Cummings,
which purpOrts 70 give full history Of the
robbery Of the Adams Express car on the
San Francisco Railroad on the night of
october %, when between $4,000 and $780,
w In currency was taken. The letter was
received by the editor Of theIGlObe-D Democrat
last Tuesday. 1t inclosed two express money
envelopes, from one of which $50. 600 had
been distracted and from the other SO. 600 :
also the memorandum Of the Cashier Of Inc
Continental Bank Of Kansas City that e3O :
600 was inclOsed. The envelOpes and meme
randum have been fully identified as those
taken in the robbery. The miter Of the let
ter gives his reasons for writing II that he
wants TO clear Fotheringham, the express
messenger, from the suspicion which now
attaches to him. The letter gives full de-
tails OF the robbery and asserts that iFuthar-
ingham was taken completely by surprise
ana nad no participation In IL except as the
unwilling victim. The writer tells Of pre-
ylOus attempt TO rob the car at Cuba june
tiou and details the manner in which he and
an aecomplice secured letter heads, cards,
etc., and secured signatures of the express
officials to enable them to forge the order
permitting the robber to ride in the car with
the messenger The letter stated that tie
robbers had a boat. which, together with
camping outfit, two guns and a box Of pro-
visions they had secreted near the bridge at
St Charles, Mo-. ahd also package contain
ing revolver which had been left at the
check stand at the Union depot in this city
on the day of the robbery. Following the
directions given in the letter, the skiff, guns
and provisions were readily found by the
detectives, as was the package containing
the revolver at the Union depot check stand
Other corr0borations of the letter were num-
erous. Fotheringham in his first statement
said the rObber had mask when he took
from the messengers pocket the forged let
ter with which he had gained access to the
express ear, and said that he would write
letter to the Globe-Demoerat vipdicating the
messenger. The letter is in the same hand
writing as that recently sent with some Of
the stolen unsigned money TO Frank James.
Notwithstanding all this, the detectives re-
gard the letter as a clear blind

THE CHICAGO STRIKE.
Some Shooting at the Stock Yards
but No One injured.

CHICAGO, Nov. 9.-The first excitement OF
the day at the stock yards occurred at
O'Clock this afternoon. At that hour word
was sent to the headquarters Of the deputy
sheritfs that their services were needed al
~ streetland Ashland avenue. Fifty depp-
tleS hurried 70 the place and were immedi-
ateiy followed by four companies of militia.
Investigation was made and it was found
that four deputies, who had been left TO pa
troi an alley in the vicinity, had been fired
on Dy some unknown parties. Fire was re-
turned but the aggressOrs escaped.
With the exception of the mysterious
shooting at one Of the deputy sheriffs this
AFTERNOON the day at the stock Yards has
been uneventful. Between 5000 and 1000
men are at work. There was very little dis
Order. The militia mounted guard within
and the sheritf's force and Town of Lake Po-
lice preserved peace as best they could out
side the yards. Several isolated cases of as
sault took place and couple of houses were
stoned but no organized mob violence or re-
Sistence 70 authority took place. There are
rnmors this afternoon that General Master
Workman P0wderly had been requested to
come TO Chicago and use his best efforts to
effect settlement between the packers and
tnelr striking employees. 1t Is known that
Mr; Barry Is in constant communication
with Powderly, Mr.. Barry called on Mr..
b0tsf0rd OF the packers committee today
ana asked whether II was true that resolu-
lions had been passed, insisting that the
striking knights of Labor should renOunce
their order as condition precedent to being
re-employed Mr., Botsford replid that such
was the case. Mr.. Barry said very little else
and left.
nThe majority of the strikers seem to re-
J0ice over the resolutions against the Knights
Of Labor that have been adopted by the
packers. II think we were in the wrong
when this last strike was ordered" said one
OF the leaders to reporter to day, "But the
packers by their outlawry resolutions
put us in the right yesterday. The general
assembly OF the Knights could not consist
emily take up our fight today and from this
on they will be bound to do battle for u.s."
Firing occurred near the packing house of
Meran x Healy at $50 o'clock tonight be-
tween watchman and unknown parties.
Nine shots were fired. AS far as can be as
certalned no harm was done. No other
unusual incident occurred up 10 midnight.

FOUR M EN- SHOT.
The Tragic Execution OF Four
Officers.

NEW ORLEANS, Nov 9-The Times-Deni-
oerat publishes today an account, by an eye
witness OF the execution, ON October Is, Of
General Il. Del Gado, Lieutenant Colonel
lnaleci0 Garcia, Commander Mignel COrtes
and Lieutenant Tabriel Loyano, who were
shot at Comayagua for leading the expedi-
tion against Honduras.
The four officers were lodged in a small
prison at COmayagua when the news of their
sentence reached them. The President sent
a messenger to Del Gado to say that il he
would promise never again to take up arms
against Honduras, he should receive a par
don. The soldier refused to accept even his
life on those terms. When shis answer was
received there was nothing left but to pre-
pare for the execution.
On the morning Of their execution the men
were taken to point near the church of
Comayagua. Four coffins were placed near
the wall and the four condemned men were
led to them.
General Del Gado asked, and he received,
permission to order the guards to fire, which
he did, first requesting them not to shoot him
in the face, but in his breast. After the fir
ing the four men for half second remained
in an upright position as II still unhurt and
then rolled over dead. The soldiers had
complied with General Del Gado's request.

Los Vecos, Mexico, just across the river
from Del Rio, Tex. Griner lived with his

FoTHERINcHAM's CASE.
He is Indicted for Grand Larceny.

ST. LOUIS, Nov. 9. When the habeas cor
pus case OF FOtheringham was called In the
Circuit Court, he was not present. 1t was
explained that by mistake he had been sent
to Four Courts, and the court adjourned till
O'Clock. About 10 o'clock this morning,
one Of Pinkerton's detectives, placed Foth-
eringham in carriage at the Southern Hotel
and told him that he was about to be taken
to the Circuit Court, where his habeas cor
pus case was to be tried. The detective
was evidently under instructions to consume
as much time as possible in carrying tho
messenger thither, for the eoachman drove
his horses at a walk and over a roundabout
route, consuming about three-quarters Of an
hour in so doing. When the carriage arrived
at the Circuit Court, Deputy Sheriff Hartzer
served the warrant, and the prisoner was
then taken to Four Courts, where he was
locked up. A short time afterwards, the
grand jnry. returned an Indictment against
him, charging him with grand larceny and
with receiving stolen property. Two other
indictments were returned, one against
Jim" Cummings, and the other against
Richard Roe, concerning the identity Of
whom nothing is yet known.
