thatchet or wrieth old was carried on
the revolver handle, so that man
could use his hands and still have the
gun in readiness for quick use. Mar
sha1 Fox then took his man from the
train and later in the day brought
him to Richmo.d to Sheriff Bernick..
There is not the slightest doubt but
that Morgan is one of the men con-
nected with the Rice bank robbery.
Sheriff Bernick is quite positive that
the other two men also had hand.
but the proof is not so glaring as In
Morgan's 8 case. 3.
Cashier, A, H. Turretin and his
assistant, Henry Fromolt, drove
down from Rice this morning and
went at once to Sheriff Bernick's
Office. The money was shown them
and two coins we're absolutely identi-
fed by both men as having been in
the Bank of Rice the day previous to
the robbery. One coin is q IS gold
piece of brass color that one would.
know in thousand and Mr.. Turretin
told the date on it before it was shown
to him 1t was coined in 1885, The
other coin identified wss silver dol
lar on which some chewing gum
was pasted. The money sacks in
which Morgan carried the booty were
also owned ny the bank, said Cashier
Turretin.
A. G.. Waldron, proprietor of the
Riverside Hotel on the East Side.
visited the Jail last evening and was
shown all three men. He recognized
in Morgan ana Young, two men who
staid at his hotel Monday and up till
o clock Tuesday. Morgan and Young
up til! this morning stubbornly main
tained that they did not know each
other and never saw one another be-
fore, but they f.ssed up, when con-
fronted ty Waldron. With this their
Identification as the men wanted!
seems to be complete.
Saturday Times: There were no
developments since Friday IN the mat
ter of the Rockville and Rice Bank
burglars, whom it is alleged and be-
lieved, are none other than three now
in Sheriff Bernick's custody. All three
were arraigned Friday afternoon and
hearing set for Thursday.
By that time it is hoped that sufi-
cient evidence will be secured to en-
able the preliminary trial Judge to
bind them over to the grand jury for
completely in the Rockville robbery
If this evidence cannot be secured,
it is probable that the Benton county
authorities will then get possession
Of the accused. There is ample evil
dence to hold them for the Rice bank
robbery. Myers and Young we're all
seen together in Sauk Rapids and also
in East St. Cloud the day before the
robbery, and one Of them is known
to have bought tickets for all three
to Rice. Then the Identification of
the money found on Morgan, the IN
reliable stories told by the three men
all tend to show the accused up in the
right light.
Deputy Sheriff Moritz and Detec-
tive Callahan together with others
made hunt round Richmond Friday
for the supposed ''cache'' which it is
belived Myers and Young have, but
were unsuccessful It. begins to look as
though Stearns county would lose the
pleasure Of keeping possession Of these
worthless. They can be we'll termed
''stand- patters'' for each in the stub
born silence which he maintains, and
refusal to account for his previous
whel eabouts, simply goes TO prove
that they are all three former Offend
ers If the law, whether by an offense
more or less serious than that of
which they now stand accused.
