Attempts TO Make Rich Haul Single
Handed, But Is Outwltted by Porter.
Kansas City-A lone robber, heav-
lily armed boarded the rear sleeper of
eastbound California Limited train on
the Chicago, Flock Island & Pacific,
known as No. A, between Slater and
Glasgow, Mo, at 11:5S Friday night,
robbed three passengers and escaped
in the darkness. According to the
local officers of the Pullman company
the robber secured but $65. The rob-
Der, who is described as being tall
and wearing long black overcoat
and mask. boarded the train at
Slater. When the train had gained
Roadway he entered the sleeper, an
observation car. He encountered the
Pullman conductor, fiagman and a
negro porter.
Leveling two revolvers at the trio
of trainmen, the robber commanded
them to proceed ahead Of him and
wake up the passengers. AS his COM
mand was carried out, the robber,
forcing the conductor, porter and flag
man ahead OF him, secured what
booty he could in his hurried march
through the car. When he had
reached the front end Of the car he
started for the second Pullman. The
porter, however, had managed to get
far enough ahead of the others to
make dash for the second car and
slammed and locked the door in the
face of the robber.
The train then was at point about
one mile from Glasgow Realizing
that he could proceed no further with
his work. the robber pulled the air
rope. While the train was slacken-
ing It's speed he jumped off and disap-
peared In the darkness.

The case opens and the first witness
is called. He is A. w. Hopes. for
years credit manager for the drug
firm OF Powers G. Weightman, which
was owned by William Weightmarl
alone. The testimony of Hopes is
OF no consequence except to himself,
because he tells of the gift of 500 900
made to him by Mrs Walker after the
death of her father This causes a
mild sensation, but that dies down as
the plans of the contestants begins to
unfold. 1t is obvious that they ex.
pect to show that to the will of 1895
made by Weightman a codicil was
added which distributed to the six
daughters of Mrs. Jones Wister, once
Mrs. William Weightman, Jr., a pro.
portionate share of the estate. It de.
velops soon after that they know a
paper was drawn up and it is now in
the possession of Mrs. Walker.
Old Mans Grim Prophecy.
What induced the belief that it was
codicil is letter treasured by Mrs.
Wister In the aged mans fine copper
plate writing received few years be-
fore his death. 1t is written on the
Fourth of July.
Il have been much annoyed by the
fireworks all day around the house,
but have just signed and attested a
paper which will some day make more
noise than three such holidays"
Couched as it was in the friendliest
terms, addressed to the woman now
contesting, in reality, there was every
reason for her and her lawyers to
think it is codicil or a direction at
least in aid of his grandchildren. That
1t might be revenge or grim joke
never entered their heads.
The will is produced and read, and
after the aged Hopes has left the
stand stout, red mustached man OF
about so, answering to the name OF
Edward T. Davis, is sworn in and be
gins his testimony. He was William
Weightman's private secretary and
real estate agent for about % years
He was a witness to his will.
The examination had now reached
point that threw hush over every
body but the two. 1t appears thai
upon Davis the contestants relied tt
prove there had been a codicil. Mr.

suavely.

to answer, but he finally answers
quietly: Yes, l remember It,"

impressively, Il am afraid we shall
