CAUGHT IN TWO YEARS.
The Robbers Had Time to
 Spend the Plunder.
Capture of the Men Who Held up the Secretary Of the Judson
 Iron Works For $15,OOO

By the Associated Press.
 OAKLAND, Cal, Dec, 10.-News was received here today of the capture oi the men who robbed Secretary Gibson of the Judson iron Works of $l5,OO0 in 1892.
 The robbers were Billy Mccormack and J. Ray, and they were caught in Kings City, Monterey county. The robbery for which these men were ar, rested was one of the boldest ever per petrated in California.
 Secretary Gibson of the Judson Iron works was on the local Berkeley train one morning on his way to the Iron works to pay off the men. In the bag at his feet was $15,000. Suddenly a man with his face blackened entered the car and ordered all hands up. He seized the bag of coin and left the train. His companion was waiting for him with horse and wagon.
 No trace of the men was found until recently when they were located in Monterey county.

SHE PULLED THE LEVER
A Colored Woman Wants to Stop tine
 Machinery of the Law.

A COtOTeO w oman w anus to SIOp tGG
 Machinery of the Law.
 ''I want to withdraw that case against Mr. Dinwiddie," said colored woman to Justice Kincail yesterday. On referring to his papers the justice. learned that Mir. Diuwiddie was g. colored gentleman who had been ar rested last Saturday on the complaint of the person who now proposed to abandon the proceedings. It appears that her husband, Fred and MT. Din widdie had been engaged in muscu-- lar debate and that MT. Dinwiddie's arguments had been so powerful that Fred went home badly pommeled. In her wifelv zeal the complainant at once appealed the matter to the justice court.
 She continued, "Fred's gone to Cali forny he went last night an he caint be to the trial, sides he don't want to prosecute Mr. DInwiddie no harm He's sorry had him rested but yeu know Fred's all 1 got in this world an' when he come home with little blood on him I got skeered."
 The justice told her that while she had probably given the lever which sets, the machinery of the law Tn melton premature jerk, It was running and she couldn't stop it. That is, until she had made complaint it was case between MT. Dlnwiddie on one side and her and Fred on the other. As soon as she made complaint though, she and Free had nothing more to do with it but be witnesses. The great territory ot Afi- zona, all the way from Utah to Sonora and from California to New Mexico, was after Mir. Dinwidde and couldn't be called off. The complaint couldn't be withdrawn.
 The complainant seemed to be wor- ried when she learned what mighty commotion she had caused in the gov ernment and as she went out of the door she said: "Well s'pose the trial will haf' to come of, but Fred won't be there; he's gone to Californy."

By the Associate d Press.

By the Associated Press.
 SACRAMENTO, Cal, Dec. 10.-There was rumor this afternoon which, by the way, was partially confirmed, that Knox, Mullen and Compton, of the mediation committee of the American Railway Union, were not to be pros- ecuted for the murder at Two-mile trestle.
 According to the story, the friends of the three men accused of train wreck ing and other offences during the great strike had made arrangements with the railroad people by which the charges against them are not to be pressed in the courts and that they will never be brought to trial in Woodland.
 It is said that General Hart attorney for the defendants has been retained hy the railroad company to defend suit for $3O,0O0 which was brought against it by the widow of all engineer who was killed a couple of years ago iii collis- ion of trains at Davisville.

not the slightest idea. As Hillman has been a fugitive from justice in the western country for sixteen years, it is time for him to have been killed, or to have been buried in the natural course of events in that country.
 "At the present Mir. D. E. Palmer has gone down there with a couple of wit nesses who claim that they know Hill mon. They say they know him. We do not know whether they know him or not. MT. Palmer and the witnesses go down there at the request of the person down there who on his own hook is proceeding with the arrest. MT: Palmer knows him and goes at his request. Mir. Palmer does not act as the agent of the insurance companies nor as our agent. He goes down by telegraphic request to send witnesses down and come to see if they can identify Hill man as the man under arrest. MT. Palmer has not yet arrived there. He may not arrive for two days yet at the place. He may not arrive at all. He may turn around and come back any moment. Where the place is we do not care to say."
 "How large is the reward ?'
 "The reward offered is 5000, as I understand it, and all expenses if the person is successful, although where I got that information 1 do not know. That branch of the case our office has nothing to do with. We are simply en- gagged in contesting the litigation in be- half of the insurance companies.
 1.-The names of the insurance com- panies are the Mutual Life Insurance com pany, the Connecticut Mutual and the New York Life, in which MT. Hill man, whose life had been that of a cow boy, miner, freighter and buffalo hun ter, insured his life for $25,OOO within about sixty days before his disappear ance, paying little cash and giving notes for the premium"
 Was that the total amount of in. surance?"
 "Yes, that is the total amount, although the interest upon it since that time, if the suit was won, would make an amount perhaps twice as large"
 Do you think that you have got MT. Hillman?"
 "Have no idea whatever upon the subject Probably not. The probabil- ities are in my judgment against Mir. Hillman being found; other people working on that. think they have got him that's all. would not make this statement, but know that you would get it somewhere else, and yield to what we would call in law, wis major.' ;" "How about tne suit ?''
 That will be tried in January. We do not want any continuance-shall not apply for any. We will not say that we have get Hillman until we see him, and have him satisfactorily identified. It is not necessary to the litigation that Hillman be now identified We have plenty of satisfactory proof of Hill mans existence in shape of dispositions taken when the matter was years ago fresh in hand"
