SAN FRANCISCO, March 9.-Ge0rge
". Gregory anu John Il. Ewing were
arrested this afternoon OH the charge of
robbing Wells, Fargo Il Co. OF 1912 two
months ago. The men confessed they
had engaged in the plot, contemplating
an extensive system of robbery. Greg
Ory Was formerly messenger in the
employ of Wells, Fargo Co., but re-
signed his position last December. Be-
fore doing so, however. he obtained
KEY which would unlock the treasure
boxes of the company, and another key
which would give him access TO express
cars. He took Ewing into his conf
dence, and on Jan. last they boarded
the ferry boat at Oakland. and
while Gregory kept watch, Ewing
climbed into the express wagon
while the driver was standing at the
horses heads, unlocked the treasure
box and extracted packages containing
S2l2, which the men escaped with.
While Gregory was in the employ OF the
company he secured tho combinations
of about forty safes in the country of
fees of the company, and the men next
attempted to rob safes at Petaluma,
Santa Rosa and Sacramento, but were
unsuccessful owing to the combinations
having been changed. They then en-
gagged the services of another man
whose name is unknown, and formed a
plan to hold up'' one Of the express
messengers on the overland train on its
arrival at Oakland. Their courage failed
them as they were about to execute this
plan. Gregory and Ewing next went to
LathrOp to rob an express car there and
were planning to go to Fresno for the
same purpose hen they were arrested.

FELL AMONG THIEVES.
Young Benweii Murdered for His
Money by the Birchells.

PRINCETON, Ont. March S.--The in
quest on the remains of f. c. Beuwell,
the alleged victim of the Birehell con-
spracy. was resumed at Princeton this
morning, Mr., Pelly, the young man
who accompanied Benwell and Birchell
to this country, was taken to the grave
of the murdered man. Pelly recognized
the dead man as Mr.. Benwell. Pelly
was the first witness. He told the story
of his acquaintance with Birchell and
BenWell much as he did at Niagara
Falls. Some points in his evidence are
worth noticing as affecting Mrs. Biz
chell. He SwOre that Mis-. BIrchell spoke
to him about the farm, the farm house
and the servants in the farm house. She
told him that she was not very well
satisfied with either the farm life OF the
farm servants, the farm being lonely
and the servants unsuitable. Pelly
believed that Mrs. Birchell knew of the
plot conceived oy her husband to de-
fraud him and that she was partner
in the fraud. Other testimony was to
the effect that Birchell and stranger
wearing a cape coat were seen at East
wood station on the day of the murder;
that they were seen later on the high
way, near where BenWell'S body was
found, and Benwell's cape coat was
identified as the one worn by Birchel'S
companion, and that Birchell was seen
returning alone, with muddy trousers
and blood on his clothing. The jury re-
tired and. in less than an hour. re-
turned verdict that Benwell came to
his death at the hands of Reginald
Birchell, and duplicating the wife as
having guilty knowledge of the crime
after its commission. Under the law
of Canada wife cannot be punished
for shielding her husband and, there
fore. Mrs. Bircheil cannot be made ac-
cessOry after the fact in the general
sense Of the term.

HosTBTTER's MILLIONS.
Daughters Of the Bitters Man
g Want q Share OF His Estate.


PITTsBuRG, March Son Wednesday
last the orphans court issued a decree
distributing the funds and securities of
the estate of the late David HoStetter. of
bitters fame. The amount was $780,
$50, After the death of David Hostetter
no will was found. consequently in the
courts decree two sisters of David Hos
letter, a Mrs. Stoner, of Allegheny. and
a Mrs. Sunny, a widow with five
children. of Lancafter. Pa, find no share
in their fathers fortune. The two sist-
ers have engaged counsel and will make
a vigorous effort to secure an equal
share with the heirs of their deceased
brother David. The claim upon which
tney will base the contest is that in 1885
their father transferred his business TO
their brother without valuable cOnsid-
Grafton of any kind; that at the time of
this transfer their father was inc0mpe-
tent to transact business, and, therefore,
the transfer was illegal, and that they
were legally entitled each to one-third
interest in their fathers estate. The
defense have engaged counsel in Wash
ington and Philadelphia. Suit will be
entered at an early date.
