he being suspected Of the robbery.
The cause Of suspicion falling on him
was that "A few days after the rob
berry. and near the scene. was found "A
valisc by "A Missouri Pacific engineer.
This valise when opened was found to
contain a lot of clothing and papers
bearing the name of :. A. Wilson.
lie answered the description Of the lone
robbcr. and furthermore as he had
been implicated in an attempt To rob Il
train before. all things compiled to-
gether, IL was deemed advisable To get
hold of him and make him explain
where he was on the night the train
was robbed.
Wilson was finally located at tho
home of his father. who handed him
over to Detective Lally. of st. Louis,
who will bring him to this city.
When searched in the Jail he had
s5o' on his person. lie took his arrest
very coolly. To Detective Lally he
made IA clean confession telling him
how he executed the robbery
When Wilson was handed over TO
Detective I.ally by his father Will

were with him. All went to
the county Jail. where the wife and
children remained with him during the
night. Besides the amount of money

he used 50 effectively in making the
raid on the express car and covering
the whole train load of passcnge RS.
When asked why il was that he did
not keep away from his parents home
when he knew the officers were after
him he said. II returned only for one
thing. and that was to help my
poor old father out. His farm
and everything he possesses is
mortgaged and wanted TO come back
and give him some money to help pay
off the mortgages II that was not the
case ! would never have returned. but
would have left the country, and the
officers would never have gotten me"
The robber actually only secured $500
in silver and s206 in paper money. lie
also took about g.. 500 worth Of Missouri
Pacific pay checks. but he could not
get them cashed without fear of being
arrested
