ST. LoUIs. Feb. 2.-ln the preliminary
rows, at Texarkana, Brock made confes-
sion of the train robbery at Genoa, Deem
Der g. He said Jim and Rube Burrows
caused the engineer TO bring the train to a
stop and under the intruction of Rube Bur
rows, who was the leader Of the gang, he en-
tered the express car and there met three
men whom he intimated with a six-shooter,
and. handing bag to one of them, COM
PEELED him TO put the moneyed contents of
the safe in the bag He put about $500 in
money and 5000 other valuables in the bag
missing package Of about 5000. He then
started for the mail car, but on advice to
leave the mail alone he turned away. The
three men started on foot for Texarkana,
and on the way divided the booty, his share
being about $500. About two miles from
Texarkana they were ordered to halt by a
party who Immediately began firing upon
them and they returned the fire as they fled
In the flight they threw away the slickers-
the clew which led TO their arrest An hour
later the party again came together, and
they struck across the country away from
Texarkana. The fireman, ]. 5. Croven. rec
ognized Burrows as the robber whose mask
slipped off as he entered the engine cab. Both
men were bound over in $500 bail. Bur-
rows waived examination.
Jim Burrows, the Genoa ARK train rob
Der, has been taken from Texarkana to Lit
tie Rock for safe keeping in the Penitcntiary
there, he having failed to secure s., 500 bail
Brock, the informer. was released on $3.50
bail and the readiness with which two
prominent merchants of Texarkana came
forward as security for supposed stranger
and the surprisingly small amount of the
bail has given much strength 10 the rumor
at TeSarkana that Brock is Pinkerton de-
tective, who was delegated some time ago to
join the robber band and betray them. He
departed for Dallas Immediately after being
liberated.
