hat the visitors know something about
the Belkeley train-robbers the Sheriff IS
certain. The latter has been unrelenting
III ms search for the robbers ever since the
day IL occurred. and when the police a0an-
doned IL he began To work up evidence that
has convinced him that they made Glover's
place rendezvous and that the latter has
peen keeping house for them in the lonely
mountain hut near Los Gaios where Glover
and son were taken into custody.
This hut the Sheriff and deputies OF Santa
cara County are watching in the hope of
surprising the thieves aud capturing them.
The fact that Glover and his boy are in
custody and that they are the only prisoners
ever arrested in connection with the rob-
berry has excited good deal of Interest.
NOT CHARGED YET.
They have not been booked upon any
particular charge, and the boy is only Q
years old, but 1t is believed that they could
tell much about the whereabouts of the rob-
Defs anu even OF the hiding place Of the
$4,000.
Neither Wagner the manager of the CON-
pany, nor Sheriff HuSsey will talk. The
latter Is angry that the facts of the arrest
have leaked out.
The first intimation of Glover's connec-
IL
erai Manager Wagner. He went TO the
Sherin and asked the assistance of the Oak
land police only IN the matter of having the
proper warrants issued to make search Of
Ihe Glover premises, which are located on
Bray avenue, Fruitvale
when he and the Judson officials arrived
ihere they found Glover gone, and traced
him TO Los Gatos
Glover stubbornly refused to answer any
cues Ions, and his conduct was considered
10 fa6 In Il
he learned that warrants had been issued
Tor the arrest OF the robbers. II is believed
that the robbers have also taken alarm but
mat they cannot be far away, and the Of
hcers are In daily expectation of getting
them.
A confession from old man Glover is he
Is guilty, would undoubtedly lead TO their
arrest, and If lie is innocent a plain state
ment would exonoTate him. But he has
gwen neither YET, and his stubbornnesS has
peen source OF mu b annoyance.
TIE HOUSE WATCHED.
From one Of the Sheriff, engaged in the
investigation of the Glover affair il was
learned by CALL reporter last night that
GlnVer's house has been watched night
after alter night in hope of getting the rob-
DeTs. The reasons for this were
weghty ones. A woman living near the
Gioyers is understood to be the chief wit
ness against Glover and his boy, and she
told the officers that on the day of the rob-
perry she saw Glover leave his house in a
buggy about o'clock That evening at
ne drove back again and lifted from tue
buggy a small sack, apparently unusually
heavy, for he staggered under its weight as
he carried Ii in.
The theory is held by the Sheriff and his
men that Glover was the third party ia the
robbery, and that he met the thieves and
took the spOlls while they escaped.
But other tales are told by the woman.
For some days after the robbery she says
she saw Mrs. Glov,r carry dishes of food
into the barn and afterwards 60 back
and return with them empty. At md
night, after the lapse Of a few days,
she heard stealthy footsteps leaving
the barn, which almost adjoins Ter resi-
dence, and after that no more food was
carried TO the place. All this excited the
woman's curiosity 10 an intense degree,
ana once when she saw Mrs. Glover ex-
aiming some jew elry through the window
her suspicious were further confirmed, as
the Gloyers are not by any means wealthy.
on THE woMAN's STORY.
1t was on her story that Glover and his
boy we're arrested. When the Sheriff
searched the barn he found under a plank
box Of iewe.ry. There were watches and
chains, rings and diamonds. How did they
get there? Mrs. Glover explained 10 the
Sheriff, his deputies and the Judson Iron
works men, all of whom were present, that
the lewelry were heirlooms of her family
and that she had hidden their for safety.
Sheriff is said to be Mrs. John Tabert. She
and her husband are Germans and are con-
sidered very exetable. So whether or not
absolute credeuce can be put In their story
Is doubtful. Still il was enough to make
the Sheriff act.
After his deputles failed to find the rob
bers by watching the premises he con-
Guided 10 arrest Glover at Los Ga.os
Glover claims to have gone there TO erect
number OF cottages by contract. The
