Hutchinson, Kan. July 2.-Edwin II.
Searles Of Kansas City. his two sons
and another young man named Williams,
all harvest hands and all from Kansas
city, were held up on Santa re IrelgHt
train near here at night and robbed OF
S3.75. The robbers returned the money
saying they were in the habit OF getting
not less than SIS at a time from har-
vesters.
The robbers were arrested here later
and gave the names of George Thompson
and A. T. Window and claimed Kansas
City as their home. They were bound
over to the district court on q charge
Of highway robbery. Searles says the
reason he had no more money was tnat
money home.
Thompson fits almost exactly the de-
scription of Ben Cravens having bow
legs and a crooked foot like the noted
outlaw. He is of smaller build, how
ever, than the man described in the no.
tees of the outlaw. There is reward
of $500 on the head of Cravens.
Thompson and Window were arraigned
before Justice Morris. The father, Ed
win Searles, and his two sons and the
other young man told the story of the
hold up and admitted that the money
was returned. Thompson then took the
stand and said that the hold up was
all joke and that he and Window had
not intended keeping the money. He
said that he had learned that the old
man and his sons lived in Kansas City
near his home and that he intended to
Josh them about the hold up when
all got back home.
He said the fact that he and Window
came directly into town instead of try
ing to get away showed that they didn't
attach much Importance to the hold up
and considered it a joke. He denied
that he had made the men promise while
covered by his gun that they would tell
nobody of the hold up.
