Federal Grand Jury Reports True
Bills Against Harry Longbaug,
Suspected Train Robber, and
Laura Bullion
FORMER HAS BEEN
FULLY Identified
May Be Taken to Montana for
Trial, Where the 0ffense of
Train Robbery is Punishable by
Death-The Prisoner Posi-
lively Refuses to Talk

st. Louis, Mo-, Nov 13-The November
federal grand jury returned indictments
today against Harry Longbaugh, alias
John Arnold" suspected of being the
Montana train robber, and his compaion,
Laura Bullion. Each was indicted on II
separate counts.
Charles H. Smith and Michael F. O'Neil,
express messenger and fireman, respect
lively, of the Great Northern Flyer, which
was held up last July near Wagner, Mont,
arrived here this afternoon and identified
the suspect under arrest as Harry Long
baugh as the man who held up the train
and took the lead in intinidating the
train crew and blowing open the express
company's safe, from which nearly 100000
in unsigned bills of the National Bank Of
Helena were stolen.
O'Neill says Longbaugh is the man who
climbed over the tender and held up En-
gineer Jones and himself, and then super
intended the blowing up of the safe. his
recollection of the episode was so VIVID
that he could describe the two reyolvers
the robbers used. The police say they
are the weapons found on the prisoner
when he was arrested
Smith and O'Neill came to st. Louis ac-
companied by D. F. Elliott, general man
ager of the Great Norther Express Com
pany, in whose care the bank notes were
when they were stolen.
Longbaugh did not finch when the iden-
tification was made. He merely looked at
the men and shifted contemptuously.
Chief Desmond asked Longbaugh his real
name.
II will talk when the time comes, was
the reply, and not another word could the
chief get out of the stubborn prisoner.
Fireman Michael F. O'Neill related in
detail the story of the robbery.
He said among other things that for
eight miles he rode in the same cab with
the suspect He studied his features care
fully. He said that when the robbery oc-
Cured Longbaugh had a short and stubby
moustacne. It did not seem so dark col
ored as 1t does now.
Chief Desmond says he now thinks the
suspects real name is Ben Fitzpatrick. A
tail Texan answering the suspects de-
scription was implicated in several tram
and bank robberies in the west, and he
was known as Fitzpatrick.

A POLITICAL FAKlR FOUND
GULLlBLE VICTIMS

Both the Worcester evening papers,
whose political reporters were clearly
inspired by a political enemy of Mayor
Philip j. OConnell, as both printed
practically the same story word for
word, published one of the baldest
fakes that has been sprung on the pub
lie for long time yesterday. The sto-
ry was to the effect that Mayor 0'Con-
nell has sought the aid Of the commit
tee of rs of last year and the city com
mittee and that he had been turned
down by both organizations. 1t then
went on to tell Of a new organization
he was making to carry on his cam
paign, and printed a list of names Of
men he has secured in all the wards
to further his campaign.
The man who made up the list and
the reporters who printed 1t are very
much to the bad. Not one of them has
a grain of regard for the truth. Mayor
O'Connell has made no step of ony
kind toward organizing a campaign.
He has not been nominated yet and un-
til he is nominated he will make no
move so the falSirs might as well give
their minds a rest, at least until after
the Democratic municipal convention

Sofia, Bulgaria, Nov 13.-The Bulga-
rian officials disclaim any intention to
interfere with Consul General Dickin-
sons private negotiations for the re-
lease of Miss Stone from the hands of
the brigands, but they decline to be-
come a party to an agreement sane
tioning brigands or the emissaries OF
brigands coming into Bulgarian terri
tory to treat for the ransom of persons
captured in a neighboring state.
In defense of the interests of Bulga-
ria, the officials cannot show weakness
towards the brigands or repudiate re-
sponsibility for the consequences. me
government would, however, respect,
subject to certain demands, safe con-
ducts granted by Mr.. Dickinson per-
sonally.
1t is suggested that Mr.. Dickinson
give the bandits a fixed time in which
to accept the amount offered and the
conditions of payment as the only
means of bringing them to speedy
conclusion.
A Greek priest yesterday introduced
himself with the statement that he had
met Turkish officer with Miss Stone
and Nine. Tsilka He added that the
women asked him to tell people that
he had seen them. This fiction is three
weeks old.
Boston, Nov. 13-The executive Off
GERS of the American Board of Foreign
Missions, concerning the case Of Miss
Ellen M. Stone, issued a statement
today intended to be corrective of err
roneous reports that have been widely
published relative to the conditions
that resulted in her capture by the
brigands This statement afiirms that
Miss Stone was in pursuit her
customary duties as missionary
when she was captured. The route
over which she was travelling is one
that is continually used by the mis-
sionaries and without reason for appre-
bending any special danger.
No warning whatever was given to
Miss Stone as to this particular jour
ney either by the Turkish or Bulga-
rian authorities She had the usual
escort of IS or 20 people and was ac=
customed to carry with her Turkish
teskre. or permit to travel One of the
missionaries acquainted with the re-
gion states that the route Miss Stone
took was considered the safest of any
in that region The statement further
aff1rms that there is no ground whatev-
er for criticising Miss Stone for want
of precaution in making this journey.

An Unknown Woman Found Floating
 and Shouting for Help Last Night
 About 1130 o'clock last evening shortly after the steamer Richard Peck docked after the return from the eX- eursion to Rockaway Beach the men on a tug boat tied up in the old steamboat slip between the two freight houses, heard woman calling for help. Going on deck they saw a woman struggling in the water some distance away from the boat. One of the men jumped into the water and pulled her out. She ap- peared to be in a weakened condition, and Patrolman Deloughery sent for the ambulance in which she was sent to New Haven hospital.
 At the hospital she soon recovered and was apparently none the worse for her experience except being very nervous She appeared to be a fof- eigner and would not talk. An unsuc- cessful attempt was made to ascertain her name, but she would not talk, all though she was addressed in Engllsh, Italian and French. She is apparently about thirty years of age. It is not known whether she fell into the water accidentally or attempted suicide. II the latter she evidently changed her mind since her cries for help were what attracted attention to her

TROLLEY ACCIDENTS.

To the Editor of the Journal and Courier:
 You can't scan newspaper since we have had rapid transit, which the pup lie demands, but you'll read of some trolley accident where not only property Is destroyed but lives are lost. Ihis IS bound to exist so long as we run trolley roads not properly interlocked at meet ing point. We are not lnfaliple- All are liable to make mistakes; therefore when one-lever machine at nominal cost could be connected to the facing or switch point at the place of meeting, such interlocking should be absolute, not permissive; then we'll have no more of this. 1T thought I had time to make the other turnout" Instead, a head-on collision occurs just this side of where he thought he'd meet them.
