Men Arrested in Milwaukee for Planning 60
Rob and Destroy Cars.
The four men under arrest in Milwaukee
for robbing freight cars on the Chicago,
Milwaukee & st Paul road had also planned
to wreck a passenger train according to a
confession made by John o'Brien, one OF
the gang, TO Inspector Riemer the other day.
When they We're arrested the matter was
still under consideration, but they had not
got to the point of fixing upon any particular
train. 0Brien said the idea was TO fasten q
timber upon the rails in a curve south OF
the city, and in the confusion following the
derailInent TO get away with as much plum
der as possible. The gang had also con-
fessed to robbing freight ears on the Chi
cago 4 Northwestern road, and implicated
James Cooper, who was also under arrest.
Cooper was released some months ago from
the penitentiary at Saltwater where he had
