summoned and when Robertson had
sufficiently recovered he made state
ment. saying that at about 1880, while
he was engaged in balancing up his
accounts, some one appeared at his
window and asked him how he was
coming out. Robertson replied that
he thought he was all right The
stranger said that he had sent his boy
for stamps during the day and that
Robertson had given him too many
and that he would return them II Rob
ertson would open the door. When the
man gave private rap used by the
clerks in the building the door was
opened.
As soon as the robber was inside the
Office he attacked Robertson anSa ter
rible conflict ensued. Money was
scattered all over the Office, one pack
age Of $500, one of $500 and one Of $500

clew TO the robber.

of the money except three packages
