ALBANY, N. ", Sept. 15.-One of the
detectives who have been working on the
train-wreckers' case says that the whole
fight, when the wreckers are brought up for
trial, will be conferred in an effort to save
Herman. He said Herman was a shrewd
fellow, and had been admitted to all coun-
ellis Of the knights and knew ali their
secrets, while the other men were only tools
of Herman aud acted under instructions
All but Herman have, it has been learned
from a reliable source, made some written
confession which implicated five men now in
custody as being the wreckers and from the
some source is said that the evidence put into
the hands of the railroad officials will surely
secure indictments and conviction The
only trouble to be feared seems to be the
jury. which contains men known to be in
sympathy with, and who can be influenced
by, the strikers.
