Receiving teller at the Mechanics Nationa,
Bank, whose vigilance gave the first clew
to the train robber.
Chief of Detectives Desmond put in an
ether busy day yesterday running down
every possible clew and investigating every
bit of information which might give him a
closer line on the identity OF the train rob-
ber now in his custody, serve to connect
him indisputably with the looting of the
Great Northern express at Wagner. Mont,
last July.
All efforts TO induce Rose. the prisoner.
to talk were futile. and he proved the most
obstinate person Chief Desmond has had TO
deal with in years. Silence is golden"
seems to be the motto to which he clings.
and well IL may be, for with his life he
may pay the penalty IL his connection with
the train robbery is established.
Lura Bullion, who. like the majority of
her sex. easily succumbed to the persuasive
influence of the sweat box after an all
day siege, now plays only a minor part in
the case so far as the investigation is con-
cerned.
That she has been pumped" Of all she
knew concerning her escort. which was
very little at that was evidenced yester-
day when Desmond allowed reporters to
until he has exhausted all his expcdents
for extracting information of value to the
department.
FEDERAL WARRANT
AGAINST WOMAN.
A warrant charging Laura Bullion with
forgery In having signed to the stolen
bank notes the names OF ]. W. Smith and
Allan Hill. purported officers of the bank
was issued yesterday by the Federal au-
thorities. s;ne aIInitted having signed
these notes. and her handwriting Is identi-
cal with that on the notes. The warrant
was not served on her. but will be as soon
as the Police Department is through with
her Her case will then be taken before the
Federal Grand Jury. and il an indictment is
found her case may be docketed in the
United States District Court within a few
weeks.
United States District Attorney Rozier
said that the Federal authorities have de-
cided to allow the criminal authorities of
Montana, where the penalty for train rob-
berry is death, to prosecute the prisoner. Mr..
Rozier said that he will however. endeavor
to prove at the woman's trial. Roses COM
plicity in the forgery of the bank notes and
his guilty knowledge of their having been
stolen, SO that in the improbable event of
his acquttal on the graver charge, he can
be prosecuted in the Federal courts. The
maximum penalty for the offense charged
against the woman is fifteen years in the
Penitentiary.
PRISONER Is NOT
HARVEY LOGAN.
1t developed yesterday that the prisoner
Rose. alias Arnold. is not Harvey Logan.
although Chief Desmond was at first al
most certain he was.
Superintendent Schumacher Of Pinkerton's
Chicago agency, who arrived yesterday
morning, and who knows Logan well, says
he Is not Logan. He says he knows the man
under arrest and will be able to implicate
him in the robbery. but declines at present
to divulge his name or past record. He says
Logan is not as tall as the prisoner. and
has dark brown hair. The prisoners hair is
black like his mustache. but both are
dyed as was proven yesterday by Secret
Service Agent John E. Murphy. Murphy Sc
cured a lock Of Roses hair and took 1t to
a chemist. who said it had been dyed. Yes
terday Chief Desmond made arrangements
with a local hair-dresser to call at the
Four Courts and shampoo the prisoners
hair to restore il to its original color. a
further aid in identifying him. The expert
ment will be made to-day.
BELIEVE HE IS
HARRY LONGBAUGH.
II further developed, at a conference be-
tween Chief Desmond Agent Murphy and
Superintendent Schumacher. that Rose is
believed to be Harry Longbaugh In the
excitement attendant on Wednesdays hur-
ried examinations of the prisoners. the i'm
preston was mistakenly conveyed that
Harry Longbaugh was an alias of Harvey
Logan. when. as a matter OF fact, they are
two separate persons. To confirm the Off
GERS In their view that Rose Is IL reality
Longbaugh is a statement made by the
woman yesterday. She said that when she
vas introduced to Rose in Fort Worth
month age by Bill Cheney they went TO
live in Hite's flats under the name of Cum
I'll ham, One day she found in his coat
pocket dictionary, or. the ny leaf of which
was written the name Harry Tongue
baueh." She asked him IL that was another
of his names, and he replied evasively.
The. dictionary is now in Desmond's pos
session, and the handwriting of the name
on the fy-leaf is similar to that of Rose.
LAURA BULLION
IA IDENTIFIED.
George Postel, merchant OF Mascoutah,
ILL., called at the Four Courts yesterday
and said he knew Laura Bullion Gnd her
