TRAIN ROBBER DEAD,

The Wounded Bandit of the Cotton Belt
Robbery Succumbs-His wife's State
ment.
TEXARKANA, Ark, June 23-Ratcliffe,
the wounded train robber. died Satur-
day night. He left wife and three
children. In his dying moments he
said it was too late for him to talk, but
that his wife would make statement
for him. She is a woman of more than
ordinary intelligence for one of her
class, and will make a detailed state
ment of the whole affair as far as she
knew, to which she will testify to-day
in court.
The poor woman had besought her
husband to avoid the company that
brought him to his ruin. and when he
came home wounded she felt sure that
retribution had visited him. Her state
ment as taken down before a notary
covers fifteen pages, and clears up many
of the mysteries that surrounded the
robbery. She states that the persons now
IN jail-Detective Williams, Napoleon
Mcdaniel and John Browley-with her
husband committed the robbery; that
Mcdaniel went through the express car
while Bromley and Williams stood
guard; that Radcliffe did the shooting
which disabled the express agent with
Williams Winchester: that Mcdaniel
shot Radcliffe through mistake, sup
posing in the darkness that the train
men had armed themselves and deter
mined to resist. The woman did not in
any way countenance or encourage the
robbery, but was enforced to silence
when the plans were being made.
Her evidence and other developments
will add great interest to the trial.
