10y the PlnkertUn agency yesterday
afternoon ANNOUNCED that the prisoner
would come to 81. Paul without papers,
and that lie would arrive mere this
morning.
Meiggs when arrested had in his pos
session about $500 in currency, but re-
fused To talk, ana would give no ac-
count of himself. The local detectives
would say nothing about Meiggs, but
from Mrs. E. f. Hunt, of 575 Canada
street, il WAS learned that man who
So previous To the robbery had his linen
marked with that name, ana he
left lhe house on the morning
OF the robbery. There are no
photographs of Meiggs in the possession
OF the Pinkerton agency or police, and
consequently Mrs. Hunt. who was at
the headquarters yesterday afternoon,
could do nufllng but give description
of the man who rOOmed at her house.
! he detectives claim that MeIggS Is an
old man, ana that he was seen around
the bank about the TIme the ROBBERY uc-
Cured actlng IN very nervous and
suspicious manner. Their statements,
however. do not agree with the tele-
grams from Chicago, which state Meiggs
Is twenty-eIght years Old.
MeiggS Will arrive here this morning,
and 1t Is expected that both he and
Eleury will be arraigned i'll the police
court tomorrow morning. A telegram
from the PinkerLon agency at Chicago
last night stalled that Benjamin Miller,
another OF the men concerned III the
robbery, would be arrested before
morning. Later it was reported Miller
had been captured, but the OthcialS re-
fused to c0ufirm Or deny the rumur.
Supt. Weuer,O OF the Pinkertun agency,
said last night that evidence had been
secured To show that four men, includ-
ing Howard. Fleury, Meiggs and one
other, held meeting Immediately after
The robbery occurred anu divided the
Swag. He refused to say where the
meeting place was, but SAID the facts
would come out In good time.
