put him to the test.
it will be remembered that the des-
peradoes who robbed the Santa Fe
train shot down the express messen-
ger in cold blood and that he died
shortly after reaching Los Angeles
The Wells-Fargo company has kept
secret the exact amount of money
taken from the express car. Ziegler
states that he saw the money in his
place at Needles, and that there must
have been $4,000 in the box; that the
highwaymen dared not carry the
money any further with them and so
agreed to hide it in the mountains
near by.
Believes Money Still There
He does not think that it has heen
taken from its place of concealnent
and he hopes to prove his sincerity by
locating the money.
He claims that one of these hold-up
men was with him when he broke into
the Los Robles avenue station here
and the local police have been search
ing for the man, but so far without
success.
incidentally Ziegler claims that he
was not himself a member of the gang
that held UP the train, but that it was
in his place at Needles that the men
discussed the affair afterwards ana
arranged to hide the plunder and then
to make their escape separately. tie
tells the officers that he has been
afraid to go after the money himself
because he knew that members of the
gang were watching him and would
kill him. If Ziegler's story be true the
little party in search of the cache in
the Arizona desert is on a dangerous
mission. If the story be untrue 1t is
only another wild goose chase. The
