was arrested. Jackson tod the whole
story of the hold-up and Ainsworth was
arrested few hours later.
The train pulled out of the station
about seven minutes late, and when it
slowed up at the Chicago & Alton cross
ing 1t was boarded by Ainsworth with a
gun in his hand. He used the usual tao
tics, crawling over the tender and calling
TO the engineer to throw up his hands.
Dempsey evidently did not understand;
ne reversed his engine and threw on the
airbrakes. Ainsworth began firing and
Dempsey was shot in the body, falling to
the floor of his cab. The fireman es-

Dempsey left the train he fired his gun
in the air and yelled: Come on, Bill

local and through safe and the plan was
to rob the express car.
The coroner's inquest was held in the

tendance and excitement was high
Prominent officials Of the Burlington road
are here in attendance upon the proceed
ings and no effort will be spared by the

soon enlisted in Company II of the It'll
Ohio Volunteers. He was in many en-
gagements. Being wounded in a skirmish
near Richmond, he was sent to the hospi-

destined presumably for Admiral Cerve-

The steward. William Thompson, gave
damaging evidence concerning the Twick-
enham's movements. He deposed that he
saw the Alicante, the alleged Spanish hos
pital ship, coaling the Spanish torpedo
boat destroyer Terror at Fort de France
The difficulty between Ensign Payne in
command of the prize crew that brought
In tile Twickenham, and Capt. Taylor, the
British vice consul, which eliminated In
the latters refusal TO go on board the
Twickenham, was probably due TO mis-
understanding. The matter viii be ad-
justed

ton to-day into the case which brought
out the fact that Ensign Payne had not
been notified that Capt. Taylor had been
given United States Prize Commissioner
Otto's authority to go on board the Twick-
enham. The British consul has complained
to Sir Julian Pauncefote the British am
bassador at Washington, concerning the
treatment Capt Taylor experienced.
