The verdigris Train Robbery

1t is thought the complete story Of
the Verdigris bridge train robbery,
which occurred in the summer of 1855,
near Gibson station, has at leugth
been learned. AS will be remembered,
very little plumber was secured bat a
passenger from Texas was killed and
the news agent wounded. Some time
afterwards f. G. Lewis, living near
Tulsa, was arrested but the grand
jury failed to indict and he was re-
leased. Still, the officers were never
satisfied of Lewis innocence and
few days ago he was again arrested and
on Wednesday Of last week had pre-
liminary hearing at Fort Smith.
The first witness sworn was j. T.
HOLMAN, of Leon County, Tex. who
testified that himself, the defendant,
Lewis, Kep Queen, R. 7. Rogers, and
a man known as Jim johnson planned
the robbery at the house of Lewis;
that all of them went 10 Nerdigris
bridge, and while Lewis, johnson and
Rogers remained there, he and Queen
went to Gibson to board the train as
it came along, and hold the engineer
down and stop it at the bridge. The
train did not stop at the station, but
Queen managed to board the tender of
the engine, and he got left. He walk
ed on down to the bridge but the work
had been done, and the train as well
as his pals, was gone. He vent to the
house OF Lewis. however, where he
found all or them, and heard them re-
late how il was done, Lewis claiming
that he did the shooting. shortly
after this the witness and Rogers cut
loose from the gang and went to Texas.
Last October Rogers was killed in
Leon County; after this HOLMAN told
the whole thing to his father, who Sc
cured the arrest OF Lewis, and sent his
son 10 Fort Saith 70 testify. KEEP
Queen was killed ia the summer OF
1859, near Claremore, and- Jim john
son is now serving an eighteen years
sentence IN the Texas penitentiary for
completely in the Cisco Bank robbery
Lewis was bound over to await the ac.
tion Of The grand jury and HOLMAN
was placed under bond as q witness.
