Law FILTH OF Ldlly q conner
Retained as Their AttOr-
neyS.
The examination of jackson and
Stovel for the Saturday nights express
robbery resulted in both men being
bound over to the grand jury, their
bond being placed at S., 900 each. The
grand jury meets on February 18th.
County Attorney O'Hare was in Manil-
la and acted for the state. The defend
ants were defended by VIM. Irwin, of
Botna, and John McNertney, of Ma
nllla. The state only introduced evil
dence enough to hold the men to the
grand jury. Things are beginning to
look dark for the accused men, the de-
tectives claim they have damaging evil
dence. The trial continued until We'd
nesday at 10 o'clock, and was attended
by large crowd of spectators, people
from surrounding towns being in at
tendance. The men who are accused
were tracked from where the safe was
found to the alley back of Jackson's
house. where it is said part of the
papers which were in the safe were
found. The detectives went to Jack
sons house and made thorough
search in the hopes of finding the mon
ey. After taking up the carpets, in
specting the wall paper, and even to
the unlosening OF the mop boards, gave
up the search. One witness testified
that jackson and Stovel were in a sa-
loon when the train from Sioux City
came in and Jackson made the remark
There's our train and that he and
Stoyel started toward the depot but
were not seen again.
Mrs. Jackson on being examined by
an officer said her husband came home
after eight o'clock and then went away
coming home again at twelve o.
clock. jackson says he went home at
ten o'clock.
The prisoners were brought to Deni-
son Wednesday afternoon and placed
IN the county Jail. They have retain
ed the law firm of Conner s. Lally as
their attorneys, and are evidently go
ing to put up big fight.
Express uperintendent Averill says
the cash booty in the safe was less
than $4,000 and makes the following
statement:
cat first, none of us knew the a.
mount of actual cash in the safe.
There were three locked sack pack
ages of money received off the South
Dakota lines, and the messenger had
no means of knowing whether these
contained $1OO or 100000 But we
have ascertained the exact amount OF
money contained in each one of these
sacks, and I will say that the total a.
mount of money in the safe was less
than $4,000 Of course, the drafts
would make the booty run up quite
distance into the thousands, but pay
ment has been stopped on all the pa
per.
" There isn't any question in my
mind that the authorities have captur.
ed the right men. The evidence is Sc
strong that it will convict in any court.
And. at that, we did not play oul
strongest cards. Why, just consider
the men were tracked from the point
where the safe was found to the very
doors of their homes.
"We have not recovered from
any hiding place any portion OF the
booty. Several way bills were found
along the road between the depot and
the spot where the safe was lifted into
the buggy, but this is all. and the re
ports that we have turned up part q
the money is not right"
he safe which was carried away
weighe between 80 and 100 pounds
and not 400 pounds, as was reported ir
telegram from Chicago. f,
