The st. Joseph Train Robbers Miss a
Valuable Package.

st. Joseph, Mo-, Jan. IA package of
money amounting to $4,000, lying under
the stove in the express car, is what the
train robbers did not get when they held
up the Eli train two miles east of this city
last night. When the train stopped and
the bandits began firing, Express Mes
senger Wetzel prepared himself accord
ingly. His safe was open and at the side
was $4,000 package consigned to the
Commercial National Bank, of Chicago.
He hastily kicked this under the stove
Only one small safe is carried on the
train and he made no attempt to close
this safe, which contained but S4S. This he
readily gave to the men and they left, ev-
identity well satisfied that they had secured
all there was to get. When Postal Clerk
Gage realized that the train was being
held up he barred all the doors, and, Sc
curing his revolver, prepared to defend
the heavily loaded registered pouches in
his charge. The robbers did not come
near him, however, and they missed an
other rich prize in consequence. The
registered pouches were the most valua-

now evident that the job was the work of
local talent, and that the men are now in

mystery that will hang like a pail over
others besides the prisoner and the mem
ory Of unfortunate Cobb jackson. All
through the trial the prosecution has
tried to show Redwine to have
lived an extravagant life F'ragmentary
evidence of his dealings in bonds and
stocks and of his spending money in social
entertainments has been introduced, but
put 1t all together and accepting it as
detrimental to the prisoners cause it has
not been shown that Redwine spent more
than the $4,000 he admitted having used
for himself. This deepens the mystery
of the missing $l03, 900. The record shows
that jackson only got S11 900, and Red
wine spent probably $3,000 The question
the public is asking is, what became of the
balance2 Has Redwine got it secreted
or did Tom Jackson get
1t and squander it without leaving
any record of the reckless game he
played2 There are few who are willing
to believe this latter, but the suspicion
that Redwine is only a scapegoat for
Others whose names will never be known
now, unless he should open his lips at
some future time, which was strongly
limited at when the defalcation was an
nounced, is strengthened by the termina-
