a package containing $4,000 had been
robbed while passing through the hands
of an express company. The package
had been sent to a small bank in the
interior Of the state. The president Of
that institution bad received it, opened
it and found it to contain nothing but
folded paper. He had brought it at
once TO the ST. Louis bank. I went up
there and was shown the package.
