DARING TRAIN ROBBERY
SOUTHERN EXPRESS HELD UP IN
SOUTH CAROLINA.
Bandits Rfhed Local Safe and Carried
on Another Which They Could
Not Open.

dispatch from Branchville, s. c., last
night says: A carefully planned and auda-
cious express robbery took place about z
o'clock this evening on the Southern rail-
| road, when the passenger train from
Charleston to Augusta reached nearly the
exact site of the successful robbery of two
years ago, five miles from Rranchville.
Seven or eight men were riding on the plat
form between the engine and baggage car,
concealed by the darkness. None was
masked At the fifty-fve-mile board two
men crawled over the tender and covered
the engineer, John Reynolds, with Win
chesters. They fired two shots, one ball
passing through Reynolds cap. Fireman
Cobb escaped by jumping off. Conductor
Black, who ran out, was also covered and
ordered back.
By order of these men, a brakeman I'M
coupled the express, mail and baggage cars,
which were taken to Fifty-eight station,
leaving the rest of the cars on the main
line. Here several shots were fired into
the express car, and one man climbed up,
covered Express Messenger Hall with a
Winchester. and compelled him to open
the door, Three men entered the car and
stripped the local safe.
After threatening Hall with instant death
If he did not open the through safe, and
finding he knew nothing Of the combination
the safe was rolled out on the PLATFORM
Then the engineer was ordered to return
with the three cars to the train, and he
obeyed, bringing the train with no further
incidents to Branchvlle.
Nothing was seen of the men or the safe
on passing Fifty-eight. There was only
a small amount of booty in the local sale,
and no one here knows the contents of the
through safe. No mail or baggage was
touched and no passengers were moleste1
The robbers disarmed the only employees
who were armed and resistance was out Of
the question.
No measures have so far been made to
follow the robbers. 1t is hoped that blood
hounds will be on hand in the morning.
The leader is supposed to be Barton War
rem. Warren was arrested charged with
having single-handed robbed the Southern
express car just below Branchville, in the
fall of 1899.
Warren was tried in 1901, and owing to
popular feeling in his favor and his able
counsel the case resulted in a mistrial.
Bail was furnished, and then, fearing con-
viction, few days before the next session
of the court, five months ago, he killed
Thomas Watson, his former friend, and
one of the principal witnesses against him.
Warren has since been at large, and some
say that he has been seen in Branchville
at night several times, though $500 reward
had been offered for his capture. Since the
murder 1t is said there has been another at
tempt before the daring performance of
this afternoon to rob the express train be-
tween Branchville and Orangeburg, and
this, too, has been attributed to Warren.

Court in Hayana.

A dispatch from Havana yesterday says
The chief witness today in the trial of
the charges growing out of the Cuban post

titled to having come to Havana when
the frauds were discovered to inspect the
department of finance of the Cuban post

different standpoints, and that, even with
credit to Nicely Of the 1892, 600 stamps
destroyed, there was a shortage In his
accounts of s3O,6O0. while with the exact
sum debited against him by Washington
and shown by the auditors book, there
was a shortage of sl0O,S13 Gregory said
the cash account showed shortage of
s1l0,27s, and he estimated the total short
age at $13l Alb.
Regarding the miscellaneous account
kept by Neely, Gregory said he had dis
covered several charges the amount Of
which corresponds to certain private bills
of Estes G. Rathbone, which Neely charg-
ed to this account, and for which there
were no vouchers.
Inspector Corcoran testified to having
ordered the arrest of Neely in New York.
