SCENE OF THE ROBBERY.
Many vi.itIt It-Probabiiity of Csrter's Con-


FREDERICKSBURG. VA. october Is.
Special )-Our people are slow to recover
from the surprise caused by the great
hold-up OF the Richmond Fredericksburg
and Potomac train only eight miles from
Fredericksburg Quite number Of peo-
p.e from Fredericksburg visited the scene
of the robbery on Sunday. and there
were many amusing Incidents told OF the
happenines on the night Of the bis steal.
Your correspondent spent tho day AT
Oauntico. where there was gathered quite
a crowd Of express men. railroad men.
and detectives. who had been going ex-
haustiyely over the ground. and no other
conclusion could be arrived al than the
one published exclusively in SUNDAY s
Dispatch--to wit: That the robbers had'
after accomplishing their purpose taken
to the yacht which had been lying on
and off Captain Dan NJ Lees residence.
There was much investigating at GUAM
tico yesterday, but nothing was ascef-
tanned outside Of what the Dispatch mas
told It's readers With the disappearance
Of the danger that confronted the actors IN
the great exploit. they tell more con
nected story, and 1t Is now SAID by thoSe
brought into sucn unpleasant proximity

the robbers were. aside from Httle lm-
patience, a most gentlemanly crowd, re-

merry men sailed forth from the sylvan
shades of Sherwood Forest and LEVIED

CARTER DOUBTLESS CONCERNED.
The many rumors that are ahoat OF
the capture OF the robbers have. aIter
full investigation. been found utterly
without foundation. and the several
parties that have been arrested were soon
turned loose. A.,
II Is. however. almost certain that
George Carter. whose exploits were told
in Sundays Dispatch, was intimately con-
nected with this most skilfully- -planned
and successfuliy-executed robbery. Your
CORRESPONDENT has been told by several
rarties who know him well that his pres
ence hereabouts not very long ago mas
been wei established.
When shot By the Sheriff Of StaHord
county. some three years ago, Garter
vowed that he would be amply revenged'
and the manner Of his escape from STAT
ford jail proves how fertile in resource
is this daring criminal The Sheriff, know
ing the man, has always since his escape
been on the watch for him. realizing MS

THE DYNAMIrEp EXpREss-CAR.

on the night Of his escape from Stafford
Jail he was under the care Of a doctor
who was treating HIM for a very severe
case of pneumonia, as h. supposed. that
had followed the inhicti1u Of the wound
he had received when arrested. The doc
tor told those having the prisoner IN
charge that the case was a desperate
one: indeed. he had but faint hopes %
Cartors recovery. Because Of this. the
usual vigilance was relaxed. and the night
h. got away without leaving single
sign Of his going will 20 far 10 show
those in pursuit the difficulty Of the JOB
they have undertakes IN trying 10 effect
his capture. There We're rumors ahoat at
the time OF his escape that pointed 70
a connivance on the part Of county OIL
cals. and the jai,er Ok the county was
suspended for time.
Carter has some distant relatives sull
living m Stafford, but his immediate
family have moved from this neighbor-
hood, and your correspondent has been,
w 10 this time, unable to locate them.
