The Express Robbers Trisl.

It is understood that DeLauter, Turner
and Perkins, the express robbers in Jail
awaiting trial before the superior court next
month, will set up the defense that their
robbery Of Express Messenger Coulter was
only by intimidation Should a plea Of this
kind be sustained the robbers would get off
light for their crime, five years being the
maximum punishment for robbery by in
timidation.
Hon. F. G. duBiguon, who will assist
Solicitor General Fraser in the prosecution,
says the robbers will be indicted for both
robbery by force and by intimidation. The
fact Of one of the two having fired at the
express messenger, he thinks, is amply suffi-
cient to prove robbery by force The maxi
mum penalty for this crime is twenty
years.
A Madison (Fla.) lawyer, whose name is
not known here yet. will, it is said, defend
DeLauter. He is employed by the robbers
father, and will set up insanity with the
other lines OF defense. The robbers will
probably be tried the second week Of the
December term.

shows that the Atlantic ports are steadily
