TIE interviews with convicted

OUT West the train robbers took
several bags Of gold from an express
car; and In Virginia other robbers
captured 100000. These incidents
followed somewhat closely the two
cases In which the companies, having
got wind OF intended iObberies. not
only defeated the robbers, but turned
the tables upon them, and either
killed or captured all tho members of
two bands. Those successes OF the
companies have, therefore, not
thrown much OF damper upon this
industry; and perhaps 1t was too
much to expect that they should do
so. Express companies are sending
across the country at all times safes
containing large sums Of money, prac.
tically undefended. No doubt the
robbers have their confederates In
the service of the companies. They
know to the littlest details all tho
facts-just how many dollars 20 by o
given train; where that train will be
ut a certain hour, and what men
have charge of the money. They
stake their lives against the money,
and generally win; for the employees
are men OF peace, without any incen.
tive to make themselves targets. An
unguarded railroad car full Of ready
money Is the weakest point In the
whole financial system OF the coun.
try. What are the express com.
panies going to do about 1t?
