ST.. LOUIS, Mo-, Nov. 9.-The Globe
| Democrat this morning prints a letter,
| dated at St. Joe, Mo-, Oct. 81, and signed
Jim Cummings. which purports to give q
full history of the robbery Of Adams ex.
press car on the San Francisco railroad.
on the night OF October 25, when between
$50, 900 and 500. 900 in currency was
taken. The letter was received by the
| editor of the Globe.Democrst last Tues
day. It enclosed two express money en-
velopes from one of which $50 900 had
been distracted and from the other S12,-
| 900. Also a memorandum OF the Cashier
Of the Continental Bank, notifying the
American National Bank OF Kansas City that
$50, 900 was enclosed. The envelopes and
memorandum nave been fully identified
as those taken in the robbery. The sender
| of the letter gives as q reason for writing
H., that he wants to clear Fotheringham,
the express messenger, from the suspicion
which now attached TO him. The letter
gives full details of tho robbery, and u.s.
serts that Fotheringham was taken COM
pletely by surprise and was no participation
in it. Tn letter stated that the robbers
had o boat which. together with camping
outfit, two guns and a box OF provisions.
they had secreted near the bridge at
St. Charles, Mo-, and also q package
containing a revolver which had been left
at the check stand at Union depot in
this city on the day of the robbery. Fol-
lowing the directions given in the letter
the skif guns and provisions were readily
found by the detectives, as was the package
contaiuingthe revolver at the Union depot.
Other corroborations of the letter were
numerous. Notwithstanding all this tho
detectives regard the letter as a blind and
do moi in the least abate their yigilant
guard over FOtheringham. 1t is stated
on pretty good authority that the Grand
Jury yesterday found indictments against
Fotheringhsm, Jim Cummings and two
others. whose names are not given. for
completely in the robbery.
About 10 O'Clock this morning. one of
Pinkerton's detectives placed Fothering-
ham in a carriage at the Southern Hotel, and
was told that he was about to be taken to
court where his habeas corpus case was TO
be tried. The detective was evidently
under instructions to consume as much

ger there. When tho carriage arrived at
the Circuit Court, q Deputy Sheriff ser we'd
q warrant and the prisoner was then taken
to the four courts, where he was locked up.
A short time afterwards the Grand Jury
returned an indictment against him ,
charging him with grand larceny and with
recovering stolen property. Two other
indictments were returned, one against
Jim Cummings and one against Richard
Roe.

miles to see Jack Kilrain and Frank Her.
aid spsr at the Herring Run race track. A
ring was pitched ON the track directly in
front Of the judges stand. The two men
we're in splendid form, Herald stripping at
176 and Kilrain at 100 pounds. The sun
was nearly down when the pugilists made
their appearance, and a brisk wind from
the northwest made standing on the bars
ground exceedingly unpleasant. When
time was called Kilrain at once began to
work on the offensive, and after o few mo-
ments sparripg got in three wicked blows
on his opponents face in rapid succession.

one of his furious PUSHES, but Kilrain
lodged him cleverly. Il they clinched,
but In breaking away Kilrain, by a quick
movement. landed Herald squarely on his
back in the corner, where he lay bleeding
from the mouth and nose. and painting
heavily. The police rushed through the
ropes and stopped the fight. Kilrain was
not touched, while Herald received a cut
on his upper lip and another On his nose.
The short work and %two.ounc gloves used
showed conclusively that both men went
for business. and that instead Of wanting
scientific points they wanted to see which
was the best slugger. Tho principals were
at once hustled off to the clubhouse. and
the crowd dispersed. There Is talk Of the
fight being finished with bare knuckles to.
