PLOT TO ROB A PAYMAsTER.
a Murderous scheme Discovered in
PiftSfnn. Pm


WILKESBARRE, Pa, Oct. 27.-The Of
icials Of the Butler Coal Company of
Pittston, have just discovered a plot to
rob and perhaps murder their paymaster
Lieut.. Richard Bennett, and his guards
while on their way to the mines to pay the
men. The attack was to have been made
on the pay day Of this month, but it failed
because one of the conspirators backed
out at the last moment.
The mines Of the company are about
eight miles from Pittston, and it was Gus
tomary for Lieutenant Bennett to draw
the pay money, averaging about $50, 000
from the Pittston banks and then drive
over to the mines. The road winds along
the mountain side and is very lonely
The cOnspiTatoTs, who are SiCilians, had
planned that one of their number, at a
certain point along the road should stop
the wagon and engage the occupants in
conversation while the others crept up be-
hind it-and either shot or overpowered the
paymaster and the guards.
On the day the attack was to be made
the man who was 70 stop the wagon
iiunked, and the paymasteT reached the
mine unharmed and unsuspecting. The
failure of the man TO do his part caused a
quarrel, and one of the conspirators told
detective the story and the detective has
notified the company. The pay wagon wi
be doubly guarded hereafter.
