DETECTIVE LAWT0N'sSToRY.

II received an official notification"
said Detective Lawton. "of the New
England express car robbery. from
Boston; and. as the details had not
been fully gathered, owing to the dazed
condition of the car messenger, got
aboard a special engine and was
whisked off to Boston at mile a min
ute. found the meSSenger-his name
was HartWell, Misunderstanding from
several severe wounds on the scalp,
and the doctors we're of the opinion
that his skull had been fractured by
heavy, blunt instrument.
"He was then just able to talk. notln
very connected way, but sufficiently we'll
to give me an idea of how the robbery
happened. 1t was to his credit that he
did not conceal the fact that he was
sleeping in the car, alongside of several
hundred thousand dollars worth OF
property, when the thieves gained an
entrance. He did not hear or see any
thing, therefore, until the thieves woke
HIM with bang Oil the head, and tied
him before he could make any show of
resistance. lie did not get good look
at any OF Tile CCOOkS, anu ABOUT all mat
he knew was that there were three in
the party, all large and heavily>built
men. The men had on black masks
when he first saw them, and after they
had gagged and tied him towel or bag
was put over his face.
IAN examination OF the car gave me
an idea as to the methods employed by
the thieves to get in, and confess that
my first impression was that the work
had been done by some persons familiar
with the construction of cars, presuma-
bly, railroad employees. The car was
divided into large and small room by
a partition. and the outer door opened
from the platform to the smaller room.
The messenger was locked in the car
in this city by one of the express agents.
and he had to be released by an
agent in Boston. This kept the mes.
senger from getting out, and the car
door was sealed, so as to show if any
| attempts were made by the messenger
to get out by collision. The only inside
| protection to the door was heavy iron
rod, which was suspended from the cen
ter of the door, and the end dropped
into slot when the door was closed. A
hole had been made in the door on a
St. Paul daily globe. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn.) 1884-1896, 1895-01-27

line with this inside bar, and all the
thieves had to do, after knocking Off
the outside lock. was TO lift the inner
rod and walk into the little room.
'Hartwell confessed that he had often
gone to sleep, because there was no dan
ger of the car being robbed, owing to
the fact that no one except these direct
ly interested in the safe carriage of the
money knew when it was sent. In the
car was a coupling pin with blood on It,
which rather confirmed the notion that
railroad men were i'll the deal. for this
is weapon used more frequently by
railroad people than a club or a revoly-
er. Hartwell said that there was no
display Of weapons. The burglar proof
safes and fre-proof safes were simply
wrecks, and [ thought from the work
on the smaller safes that professional
cracksmen had been with the party, as
the blow pipe aud putty had been used
to get powder into the safe.
''Hartwell had not the least idea at
what part Of the road he was attacked,
and all that he could recall was that
shortly after the thieves left he heard
cries OF fire and the ringing of what
sounded to him like the ringing of
cracked church bell. The thieves had
pounded his head before leaving, but he
was not unconscious. When the crooks
left they fastened the door with the
lock on the outside and stuffed black
hat into the hole in the door to prevent
the light from SHINING from the inside.
"My first work was to try and locate
the place where the thieyss left the
train and my only clue was the cracked
bell and fire | went by train along the
road, stopped at all stations. but did not
strike anything until l reached New
Haven. learned there that just be-
fore the night Boston express reached
the depot fire had broken out in the
lower part Of the city, and the bell rang
from Presbyterian church. This was
the last thing which Hartwell remem-
bered until he was aroused in his car in
BostOn.a and l concluded that the thieves
got off at New Haven. My Judgment in
this was confirmed by the finding of
new bit and auger quarter Of mile
from the depot, which had been used to
bore hole in the car door.
1.-The train had made only one stop
between New YORK and New Haven,
and that was at Bridgeport. 1t was ev--
ident that the thieves had boarded the
train either in Bridgeport or New
York, and all that found which might
throw light on the robbery was that
three men had bought tickets for New
York on the last train from New Haven.
which left soon after the Boston train
had passed through. No one had got
on the train at Bridgeport, or. at least.
no one was seen to, and it was my no.
ton that the thieves started from New
York after receiving tip from some

railroad man who was familiar with the
running OF the express car. | came to
this city to continue my work.
Il made inquiry at the freight yard
where the express car was stored when
not in use. and [ got my first tip from a
day Waterman. VINO told me that sew
eral days before stranger, who said
that he was car builder, asked per-
mission of him to look at the express
car for the purpose of getting soma
data to make similar car.
"Fhere was thus very little ground
work to begin on, and attention was
directed to railroad men who had been
discharged recently, and also to railroad
men in general who had anything to do
with the handling of the express car in
the depot or while it was in transit.
The usual cards Of warning were sent
out to pawnbrOkers and jewelers. who
were in the habit of handling stolen
goods, giving description Of the stolen
jeWelry. The case moved OH very
slowly, and it seemed as if the thieves
had successfully hidden every trace of
their movements. At the Office of the
express company learned that only
three men there knew when the money
was shipped and they were all above
knew what part of the country they
were going to until they got on the
train, and the company had provided
sufficient safeguards to prevent collu-
sion with crooks.
The case ran on for a week or ten
days without any developments, and
then got telegram to hurry to the
express office. | found there a great
deal of excitement over story told Inv

the profits of street singers in Paris
by a wild lark in which some amateur
vocalists INDUCED lately. Disguised
in diIapidated clothes, one posing as
an Arab, they made the tour of the
grand boulevards, singing before
the cafes, and in one day cleared 124
francs ($25), to which they added an
other 81 francs ($12) the same night
