LITTLE LATE
News About the Train Robbery,
From New Orleans.

FROM new orleans.
NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 19.-Train
No. 10 on the Southern Pacific ar
rived here just before noon today.
The train had left Houston last
night at 10 o'clock, and train rob-
bers had boarded it between Hous-
ton and Dayton. The robbers
entered the express car and killed
the express messenger, John c..
Richardson, and then broke open a
small safe and robbed it of its con-
tents, but the express officials de-
cline to say how much was taken.
The messenger was shot from be-
hind, while he was seated at his
desk, for there was a large bullet
hole in the back of his head, and
when discovered, the body was
lying on the floor of the car at one
side of the chair, which he had al
ways occupied.
After Richardson had toppled
from the chair, the robbers turned
the body over and fired four more
shots into it, in order to make sure
of their work. The train was run
ming at a high rate of speed, and
Richardson was alone in the car,
and not soul heard the
reports of the pistols, with
which the robbers performed
their work. There were two safes
in the car, a small one locked with
a key and large combination
safe, carrying valable matter. The
combination had been telegraphed
to New Orleaus and the safe was
opened by the Wells-Fargo people,
this afternoon upon the arrival of
the train. AS far as can be
learned, the contents of the larger
safe were untouched. 1t would
have been necessary to have used
dynamite to open the second safe.
The robbers, however, had no diff
| Guilty in breaking the lock of the
smaller safe and took all they
could. They, however, left several
packages of silver.
When the train reached Liberty,
the porter of the car noticed that
Vic lllGSStlStl ulu llOI uCSSCnNiS 40
he was accustomed to doing. The
porter went to the door of the car
to see what was the matter, and
found Richardson lying cold and
stark, in a pool of blood. The
trainmen were called and made a
hasty examination Of the car, in
| order to discover if there were
any robbers aboard. The only
| person to whom suspicion was at
tached, was negro, but he gave a
straight account of himself and
was released from custody.
The engineer had seen two ne
groes on the blind baggage, but be
lieved they were tramps stealing a
ride,and paid no attention to them.
The trainmen do not believe the
act was done by negroes. They
are unable to say at what pOilt the
robbers escaped.
Richardson resided in New Or
leans, and his body will be brought
here tomorrow for interment.
