CuNL|FFE
Seen BY
RIVER BANK

Pittsburg. Pa. oct. 2.-Up 10 midnight
nothing definite had been developed in the
big Adams Express robbery OF Monday
evening.
What may prove an important clue
as to the actions OF Cunliffe was given
10 the detectives yesterday by c.. @. Hoo
yer. a reputable merchant OF Allegheny
II Mr.. Hoover's suspicious are correct,
and the detectives are inclined to believe
them. Cunlire did not leave this neigh
borhood until after Tuesday evening.
Mr. Hoover who is an ardent fisher
may says that on Tuesday evening while
he was fishing along the banks or the
Ohio near Emswort. a suburb or Allie
ghany. he heard behind him a hard dry
cough but could see no one.
After several repetitions OF the cough
he located a man whom he has since
learned answered the description OF the
missing man. He had a small mirror
fixed on a bush and was industriously
cutting his hair with a pair or clippers.
Mr. Hoover. OF course. had heard moth
ing OF the express robbery AZ that time
and had no incentive 10 question the
mans right 10 he his own barber az such
an unusual place. and paid no more at
tention to him.
The detectives think that az Cunline
might be expected TO do the most un-
usual thing IL would not he surprising
II the man NJ Hoover saw should turn
out To be the fugitive.
According TO the detectives he could
easily carry the 10000 on his person
without attracting attention. The pack
age contained 1900 bills. and this number
could easily be distributed through the
mans pockets and about his person
The officers think the robber will be
captured within a few days between here
and ST. Louis. Kansas City or Omaha
travelling by freight
One of the reasons assigned by the po-
lice authorities for the robber taking the
$1,000 from the express office in addition
to the 10000 package. was the fear OF
being embarrassed with the new bills
contained in the package during the first
stage Of his flight
he simple manner IN which the theft
was committed and the hours start the
man was able to get Is a revelation to
bankers and express men
Mr.. Hner general agent of the Adams
Express company, said yesterday that
there was no way 10 avoid entrusting
large sums OF money 10 employees.
EXPRESS COMPANY MADE PAYMENT
Cincinnati. O., Oct 12.-The First Ma
tonal bank of this city received yester-
day by telegraph from Pittsburg 100000
which was to have been brought by ex-
press. but disappeared I'm Pittsburg The

II had been actually in it's possession at
the time Of it's loss.
