A ROBBER CONFESSES
@. j. sEARCEY TELLS ABOUT THE
"HOLD UP" IN VIRGINIA,
And Officers Secure the Pouch I'm
Which the Bandits Placed Their
Booty-Morganfeld Identified.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 23.-The relentless
search which the officials Of the Adams Ex-
press Company have prosecuted to appre-
hend the criminals who held up train at
Aqua Creek, Virginia, on Oct. II, was
rewarded to-day by the finding Of the
pouch in which the robbers had placed
most Of their booty. The pouch was Sc
cured through the aid Of c. ]. Searcey, one
of the robbers VINO was arrested at Cum
berland, Md. This fact proves conclusively
what the express officials have claimed
that Searcey was one of those wanted, and
the relationship which has been shown to
exist between Searcey and Morganfield,
now held in Cincinnati, establishes beyond
a doubt that Morganfield was his pal"
It Is now known that the latter was the
man with the shrill voice who entered the
express car and held up Messengers
Crutchfeld and Murray.
The details OF the recovery Of the pouch,
or how much money 1t contained, are not
known here, except that the sack was
found hidden I'm the woods of Virginia, near
Cavelerton. and that there were present
Prosecutor w. Seymour White, c. w. Ed
rington, sergeant of police of Fredericks-
burg; Sheriff Hugh Adie and Robert A
Pinkerton when il was secured. 1t can
also be stated that not more than four men
and probably only three were concerned
in the hold-up. Two are now under arrest,
and the third ii is confidently expected, will
be caught within a short time. Searcey,
who led the authorities to the cached booty
made a partial confession, all the state
ments of which have been corrobo-ated
and this knowledge has very materially
aided the express officials in their search.
Morganfields condition will necessarily
have to be considered in regard to when
he will be taken from Cincinnati to Staf-
ford County Courthouse. Virginia, where
the trial will occur. The maximum penalty
for train robbery In Virginia is death and
the minimum twenty years confinement
at hard labor.
