The morning call., 1892-06-13

after the robbery occurred. This fact alone
dlsposes OF all theories of the men driving
out TO tue foothills and back. They had no
time TO do ii. The more probable theory Is
that the man in charge OF the money was
dropped out somewhere along the route
and his partner drove the buggy In. We
know, too, point where the two
men were last seen together in the
buggy. A woman saw them driving
on run and thought there was IRE and
the men were running their horse to md q
box and send In an alarm. When next seen
there was but one man in the buggy ana
we have succeeded IN getting his descrip-
tiOn. He wore light derby hat light
Overcoat that did not reach 10 his knees and
a suit OF grayiSh-colOred cloth. In size he
compared closely with the tall man oil the
two men seen on the train. We are still at
work and hope to succeed IN catching the
men, although the trail is a very bind one.
Last night the entire district between the
point where the two men were last seen in
the buggy and the point where the rig was
found was patroled by officers, with orders
TO bring in all suspicious characters.
AT THE LIvERY-sTABLE.
Nor, the livery-stable man from whom
the men hired the rig gave a further de-
scription of the man who came after the
buggy yesterday. He was busy in the
haTness-room when the man came in, but
saw him walk to the back part of the stable.
As the man continued to look around, Nor
went TO the door and asked what he wanted.
The customer then told the story of want
ing to take his girl out after cherries, and
SAID he would not be gone over two hours.
AS he drove out NOr's son remarked that
''he guessed that fellow must be an old
bachelor. as his mustache was dyed. Nor
says be is positive the mans mustache was
cOlOred.
Yesterday a man called on Chief of Police
To- nd baf u last hQ
was in a wholesale hardware house in this
city when two young men called and asked
for some old iron pipe. Tney explained that
they wanted pieces of pipe about the size Of
q mans body, and when told the firm had
nothing Of the kind, left. This led to an
examination of the arm0r found IN the
buggy, and on one of the pieces OF iron the
cost mark of a firm whose name the police
would not disclose was found. The iron
used is evidently scrap irOa and is believed
by the police to have been taken from tie
JudsOn works.
ABSURD RUAfoRs.
The ugly rumoTs already spoken Of are
rapidly gaining circulation in Oakland.
MOTtens0n is acquitted of all knowledge Of
the scheme by those who allege the robbery
was a put-up job, and the officers agree
with the view expressed. The dOubteTS
are not so charitable tov ard the secretary,
however. They want TO know why he did
not jump from the train and give the alarm,
and ask other troublesome questions.
A man weighing fully 800 pounds who
was at the depot when tile robbery o.
Cured said last night: IF that secretary
had yelled I'm robbed when he ran out on
the platform l could have caught enc Of
the fellows and dOwned him easy, and
even after they had got in the buggy If ne
had holered there was half dozen teams
standing there that would have kept that
buggy in sight if they hadn't overtaken it,
TeyOlyerS or no rev0lveTs.
Later on the street 10 Oakland az en-
ploye Of the JudsOn works expressed q pc
culiar though perhaps an irresponsible
opinion. Two policemen were talking
approached them and said: Gentlemen,
mark my words, that robbery story is all a
fake"
"Why," asked one. chow can it be they
got two sacks Of coin ?'
"Yes, and they were filed with iron and
lead" be answered. at was al done for
effect. The JudsOn Company owes lis men
for SIX psy-days, and they had promised TO
pay them Saturday. They owe me for
three pay-days."
The name Of the emplOye could not be
learned.
DETECTIVES ALERT.
Whether or not the detectives take any
stock in the TumoIs Of fake robbery can
not be learned. Certain it is that every
avenue of escape from Oakland has been and
is being most carefully watched, and IN sd-
dition the detectives on this side are watch
ing all arrivals. Saturday night MoTtenSon
remained at the ferries with the officers on
this side Of the bay watching arrivals, but
be himself admits that il is extremely doubt
fGl whether or not be could recognize the
