eOMMOHS CONFESsES
That He Stole tho So 900 from the Express
Ccmpnny.

Meridian, Misa, December 17.-(Spe-
cial. AT last the veil of mystery. sur
rounding the Southern express robberles
has been lifted. Detective Charles y:
Sommers at 3 O'Clock today was arTalgned
before Justice Spinns and pleaded guilty
of abstracting the $1,000 package from
the Southern Express Office here December
9th, and in default of $4,000 bail was re-
manded to Jail on the charge Of grand lar
ceny At first SomnlerS waived eXamlna-
ton, but on reflection entered plea Oh
guilty.
The story of the robbery is full of daring
and audacity. On the night OF the robbery
Sommers was in the express office with
Kennedy He had been lounging around
here for Week or more, and had the run
of the place, being supposed TO be IN the
employ of the Southeru Express Company:
He had been prominent IN the chase Oh
RlIbe Burrows and Eugene Bunch, the not
ed outlaws. Sommers casually remarked
TO Kennedy, when Cameron was here last
s,,ni;ner you handled lots of money. DO
vor handle any now?" to which Kennedy
relied, Yes, we handled $4,000 today;
So, 900 are in the safe now, billed to Macon,
Miss"
After consulting q map and finding Ma
con was north of here, consequently the
package would lay over here until next
morning, and being answered by Kennedy
that the safe was locked, Sommers declined
to accompany Kennedy to the south-bound
train saying he would remain III the ex-
press Office Nommers had carefully pre-
pared for the Hobbery, having key made
in Chicago which he had tried the previous
night, but it failed to work. He had filed
the key to fit, and when Kennedy left the
office Sommers quickly opened the. safe
and taking the $4,000, put S40O in his
pocket and handed the remainder to his
pal. whose name cannot be learned, who
was waiting in front of the office, and
took the train for New Orleans. Sommcrs
had the 500 on his person when arrested,
and as the package was consigned to the
Meridian National bank and numbers of
the bills kept his guilt was clearly proven.
Sommers played cool game to ward off
suspicion, assisting Kennedy to unload the
truck, etc On his return, Kennedy opened
the safe and discovered the theft. Som
mers was surprised and suggested that
Stevens, the agent, be at once notified, Som
mers even calling hack and going for
Stevens Detective Jackson was telegraphed
for, and on his arrival he began working
his old comrode Sommers for the theft.
Sommers suggested other clews, but jackson
failed to shake off. In o LARGO noker game
last Saturday night Jackson ran his game
to earth by constantly losing his table stakes
and borrowing of Sommers. Finally, Jack
sons demands became so heavy that SOM
mers took fright and eXcusing himself for
a few moments boarded the train for New
Orleans.
Jackson used the wires and had Som
mers arrested at Hattiesburg and brought
here. And he has since been sequestra-
ted by the detectives in order to get pos
session of the money. Sommers's pal was
arrested in Chicago with $4,000 on his
person today, and is now being transferred
to this city. Superintendent Agee and AS
