WHAT SUPERINTENDENT PINCKNEY SAID

| WHAT SUPERINTENDENT pINcKNEY SAID.
The messengers were not inter
viewed by the Reporter, because they
we're told not to talk, but Superin-
tendent Pinckney was seen. He ad-
mitted that money had been taken
from the messengers shortly after
the train on the Southern Railway,
due in Charleston at 8. II, left Eighty
Six. The exact amount, he said, he
could not name, because the accounts
OF the messengers had not been
checked up. Mr.. Pinckney said that
Messengers Rhodes and Ramsey
were in charge of the car, and that
later, when thorough investigation
was made, the company would give
out statement of the facts.
OUTSIDE ACCOUNTS oP 1T.
But there were other people on
the train and to these the messen-
gers had told the story in the few
moments of excitement following the
robbery. A Reporter of The News
and Courier talked about the matter
with Mr.. @. w. darris, railroad COM
missioner for the State of South Car
olina; Mr.. John V. McNamee. of
Charleston, and Mr.. Charles J.
Rauch, of New York, all of whom
were aboard of the train, although
none of them knew anything about
the robbery until it had been suc.
cessfully carried out. Capt. Black
was the conductor in charge of the
train, but he could not be located
last night. After hearing the stories
of the three gentlemen named each
of whom had heard recitals of diff
ferent parts of the act, the Reporter
gained the following knowledge of
the robbery.
The train had stopped at Fifty
eight, which is the same number of
miles from Charles as indicated IN
the name. When about half mile
out of Fifty-eight the train came to
another halt. Capt. Black and a
train hand jumped off to see what
was tho matter and saw q man in the
marsh making away from the track.
They supposed he was a tramp who
was had been stealing a ride, and
had pulled the train down to get off
as is sometimes the case. Capt
Black signelled the train to 20 ahead
again and as it got under headway
the news Of the robbery became
known. Ono of the messengers
rushed from the baggage car into
the smoking car and hurriedly told
Capt. Black what had happened.
The story of the messenger, as heard
The Newberry herald and news. (Newberry, S.C.) 1884-1903, 1899-12-05
(News and Courier, 2nd.)

Seventeen hundred dollars were
taken from the Southern Express
Company car on the Southern Rail
way, near Fifty eight, last night at
about 7 o'clock. The loss was the
result of daring hold up of the two
messengers in the car by an unknown
masked white man, who not only ef
fected the robbery, bnt made good
his escape. The deed was an OK.
ceedingly nervy one and goes to show
that even staid old South Carolina is
keeping up with the procession, and
can have "hold-up" as we'll as any
other of the civilized and enlightened
parts of the country. The news OF
the robbery was flashed to CHARLES
ton from Reeyesville, the next sta
tion, and it was of such a sensational
nature that it spread throughout the
city in an incredibly short time. The
idea of a train robbery in South Caro-
lina furnished too dainty a morsel of
gossip to be kept secret and by the
time the train arrived in the city the
fact was generally known.
A reporter for The News and Cou-
rier went to the Southern Express
office, on Hasell street, as soon as tho
news reached the CITY. There the
news of the theft was confirmed, but
no particulars could be learned, be-
cause superintendent Pinckney was
at the depot to meet the messengers,
who were due in few minutes. The
Reporter took a seat and waited the
arrival of the messengers. Very soon
the big express wagon numbered up
to the door, and Messengers Ramsey
and Rhodes, carrying great big re.
peating rifle, walked into the Office.
Superintendent Pinckney came in in
a few minutes. The messengers
looked 80 formidable with their great
gun that the Reporter thought there
must have been mistake, or that at
least a dozen mon effected the rob-
berry if any had been committed.
But facts secured later developed the
fact that the robber had gotten the
drop on che messengers and they
very sensibly "gave up" to keep from
being punctured.

by Mr.. Rauch, was this:
HOW 1T HAPPENED.

just as soon as the train left
Fifty eight there was a knock on the
door of the baggage car. It is Gus,
tomary for the conductor and train
hands to pass through the train
after leaving stations, to look out
for people boating their way and also
to get to the baggage car. The door
leading into the express car is alway,
kept locked, and when one of the trail
crew wants to pass through he
knocks. When the knock was heard
the messengers thought it was the
conductor and opened it. AS soon
as he did stalwart white man,
masked, stepped in and covered both
messengers, holding pistol in each
hand. He commanded: "Throw
up your hands, you-- -, or
I'll blow holes in you" Although
there were arms in the car the mes
sengers were taken completely by
surprise and had nothing else to do
but obey. AS ore of them remarked
afterwards: The man talked 80
tiercely that he would have held up
his feet, too, if he had boon ordered.
There were two safes in the car,
one OF them only being visible to the
robber One Of the messengers was
made to stand in the corner of the
car with his hands above his head,
and the other was ordered to open
up the safe and deliver the money
packages. All orders of the masked
gentleman were rapidly and prompt
ly obeyed as soon as they were issued.
When he had possession of the
money the robber told the messen-
gers that he intended to stop the
train and get off, and that if either
OF them dared to venture out of the
car until the train was under head
way again he would kill them. The
robber was quite cool and told the
young men that he would stand by
the steps of the car in order to carry
out his threat if they disobeyed him.
The highwayman's parting injunc-
tlon was carried out to the letter, as
the foregoing illustrates.
