SAW DAN COUGHLIN.
Another Witness Says Where the De-
tective Was the Night of the Murder.

CHICAGO, Jan. s.-The corridors of the
courthouse were packed to-day with an
eager throng anxious to gain admittance
to the Coughln trail. The announcement
that the new States witness. Frank Bar

Tuthill took his seat and Bardeen's name
was called murmur of suppressed excite

AS engineer Barieen took the stand the
jurymen leaned forward in their chairs

every ear in the court room was strained.

MADE A $4,000 HAUL
Three Robbers Gut a Chicago Pawn
Shop i'm Business Hours.
Daring Piece of Work That Necessitated
the Gagging of Clerk and
Little Girl.

CHICAGO, Jan. S-Three desperadoes
captured between s., 900 and $4,000 worth of
plunder in the Star loan Office 50 Randolph
street, during business hours to-day. The
men escaped, though police officers quickly
began securing the city for the robbers

was in charge of Lionel Greenburg, a clerk
He was bound and gagged before the men
began operations on the stock. They were
interrupted while packing the plunder by
ten-year-old Mary Clements. a neighbor's
child. The robbers seized the girl and
bound and gagged her. Her absence led
to the discovery Of the robbery. She and
young Greenburg were found helpless in
the rear of the building. Lionel Greenburg
was alone in the office when the robbers
appeared. He had previously opened the
shop, unlocked the safe, and was busying
himself about his usual duties when
stranger called and asked to be shown a
fur cap. Greenburg led the man tc the rear
Of the store and began showing him an
assortment of caps Suddenly the man, he
says, seized him and threw him to the floor.
At the moment two others entered the
office and joined I'm the attack on the clerk.
He is twenty-three years old, of slight
build, and was soon overpowered the
thieves bound his hands, gagged him with
a red handlxeI chief and tossed his helpless
body in a corner of the office. Clothing and
loose articles in the store were piled over
him until he was almost hidden from view.
One man stood guard over the corner and
his confederates started for the safe. The
outer door was closed but not locked,

contained in the safe was protected how

the plunder deposited in the satchel AS
the men were preparing to leave, Mary
Clements, a child of the family occupying
apartments over the pawnshop, ran down
stairs to learn the time of day. Her en-
trance created a momentary hesitation. One
OF the robbers seized her. and, binding her
hands, marched her to a corner near Green
burg. After few moments further delay
the robbers left the office. Greenburg sue
ceeded in looSening himself when the man
who had guarded him with the revolver

O'Keefe. of the Illinois Central railway,
left, to-day, for Wickliffe, KY, to prose-
cute the gang OF train robbers who held
up an Illinois Central train near Mayfield
bridge, on Nov. IL. The robbers seem TO
be of decidedly aristocratic relationship.
James Breckenridge, the alleged leader of
the gang, is said to be a cousin of Con-
gressman Breckenridge, Kentucky's silver
tongued orator. William O'Brien is re-
ported to be a brother of Judge Henry
O'Brien of Charlestown, Mo-, and further
lays claim to fame by having married
cousin of Jesse James, the bandit. The
men are said to have secured about 1880
at the time of the robbery for which they
are about to be tried.

CHAPTER TX.

When Francis Armour left his wife's
room. he did not go to his own room,
but quietly descended the stairs, went
TO the library and sat down. The lone
liest thing in the world is to be tete-a-
tete with ones conscience. A man may
have a bad hour with an enemy, a sad
hour with friend, peaceful hour
with himself, but when the little dwarf,
conscience, perches upon every hillock
of remembrance and makes slow signs
those symbols of the language Of the
soul--to him, no slave upon the tread
mill suffers more.
The butler came in to see il anything
was required, but Armour only greeted
him silently and waved him away. His
brain was painfully alert, his memory
singularly awake. Ii seemed that the in
cident of this hour had so opened up every
channel of his intelligence that all his
life ran past him in fantastic panorama,
as by that illumination which comes to
the drowning man. He seemed under
some strange spell. Once or twice he
rose, rubbed his eyes and looked round
the room-tho room where. as a boy,
he had spent idle hours, where, as a
student, he had been in the hands Of his
tutor, and as young man had found
recreations such as belong to ambitious
and ardent youth. Every corner was ia
miliar. Nothing was changed. The
books upon the shelves were as they
were placed 20 years ago. And yet he
did not seem part of it. IL did not
seem natural to him. He was in an at
mosphere of strangeness--that atmos-
phere which surrounds a man, as by
cloud, when some crisis comes upon
him, and his life seems to stand still,
whirling upon its narrow base, while
the world appears at an interminable
distance, even as 10 deaf man who sees,
yet cannot hear.
There came home to him at that mo-
ment, with force indescribable, the
shamelessness Of the act he committed
four years ago. He had thought to come
back TO miserable humiliation. For
four years he had refused TO do his duty
as man toward an innocent woman, a
woman, though in part savage, now
transformed into a gentle, noble creature
Of delight and goodness. How had he
deserved il? He had sown the storm; IL
was but just that he should reap the
whirlwind. He had scattered thistles;
could he expect TO gather grapes1 He
knew that the sympathy of all his ia
ther's house was not with him, but
with tho woman he had wronged He
was glad it was so.
Looking back now, il seemed so poor
and paltry n thing that he, man,
should stoop 10 revenge himself upon
those who had given him birth as q
kind Of insult to the woman who had
lightly set him aside and should use for
that purpose n helpless confiding girl.
To revenge ones self for Wrong To ones
self Is but common passion, which has
little dignity; TO avenge some one
whom one has loved, man or woman
and before all, woman--has some touch
Of nobility, is redeemed by loyalty. For
his act there was not one word Of de-
Tense TO be made, and he was not pre-
pared 10 make II
The cigars and liquors were beside
him, but he did not touch them. He
seemed very far away from the ordinary
= details ~ hjs lifc he know he had be-
tore bim hard navel. ana ho was not
