Tain Rabbsr conf.ss.s.


 bend tho criminals who held up q train at Aqula Greek, Va, on the 18th inst and to recover the stolen property has been rewarded by the finding of the pouch in which tho robbers had placed most of their booty. The pouch was secured through the aid of c. J. Searcoy, ono of the robbers who was arrested at Cumber- land, Md.
 This fact proves conclusiyely what the express officials have claimed-that Scar cey was one of those wanted-and the re- lationship which has beon shown to exist between Searcey and Morganflold, now held in Cincinnati. establishes beyond a doubt that Morganfield was his pal, and 1t is known that the latter was the man with tho shrill voice who entered the ex- press car and held up Messengers Crutch- field and Murray.
 Tho details of tho recovery of the pouch or how much money it contained arc not known hcro except that tho sack was found hidden in the woods of Virginia neur Calverton, and that thcIe wero pres ent Prosecutor W. Seymour White, c. w. Burlington, sergeant of police of Fred eriCksburg; Sheriff Hugh Adio and Rob- ert A. PinkertOn when 1t was secured. It can also ho stated that not moro than four men and probably only three were concerned in the hoidup Two arc now under arrest, and the third. it is expect. ed, will be caught within n short time. Searcey. who led tho authorities to the cached booty. made partial confession, all tho statements of which have been | corroborated. anu this knowledge has very | materially aided the express officials in their search.
 Much of the credit for tho arrests fAlli to General Manager Herring Of Pbilndel ph!a and his assistant, Mir. II. NJ. Forbes | who have labored indelatigably day and night to run down the criminals. They | are particularly pleased because they arr | able to roiteratc what they have always claimed-that no ono has ever robbed tn, | Adams Express company and escaped. Morganfield's condition will necessarily have to be con sidered in regard to wher | he will be taken from Cincinnati to Stnf | ford Court House, Va. where the tria will occur. The maximum penalty fo train robbery in Virginia is death and the minimum 20 years confinement a | hard labor.
