Cedar Rapids, April "a queer
specimen Of humanity is Thomas
Ambrose the st. Paul craftsman, VINO
was brought to this city and arralsnea
in federal court yesterday for robbing
the postoffice at Northwood. He seemed
perfectly willing to talk about the case.
Ambrose plead guilty and was SEN
tence to serve three years In the led
eral prison at Leavenworth.
~ came down from st. Paul." he
said "and knew I could do the job
easily And l did it. But the best
men sometimes get careless and thats
how 1t was with me that trip. l had

the marshal, who was on the other size

off to get help and left me lying there.
It's a lucky thing for him and me -
and for many more people in North
wood. that this bullet didn't hit my
bottle of nitro glycerine. If it had,
lots of use would have made a hurry
trip to Kingdom Come, and that's no
lie.
when the marshal came back with
his help they dragged me out ana
searched me. The marshal took the
bottle of ntiro-glycerine from my pock-
ct and threw it on the ground. He
thought it was whisky. There was
another lucky escape, for the bunch.
How it happened that the bottle didn't
break and the explosion send us all
sky-high is problem for the preach
ers. It's too deep for me. But maybe
should have been better off if it had
exploded.
another funny part of the affair
was, when I got into the doctors
hands he asked me about that bottle
of nitro -glycerine. told him that the
marshal had taken it from me and
thrown it down. When they knew It
was nitro glycerine, the marshal, the
sheriff and the whole push of them
were afraid to go back and pick up
the bottle. Finally the doctor had to
do it.
"Well, there's one thing sure, won't
have to stay in the pen a great while
guess that bullet inside me is going
to fix me right before very long"
Ambrose has a hacking cough and
looks as if he stood on the Drink of
death. He plead guilty and asked for
leniency of the court because of his
physical condition.
