excitement prevailed last night In Santa

The New York authorities arc looking
after that end OF the matter. and will
likely throw some light upon tho pre-
vious character OF the man now under
arrest here.
Rodgers's scheme is said to have been
an old one, yet one 80 simple that II
completely threw the detectives off the
track. He Is alleged to have had ac-
completes and to have changed the checks
Of trunks OF passengers whom he knew to
be wealthy. The accomplice would steal
the duplicate checks from the baggage
room Of a depot.
Almost every railroad in tho country

secret departments of all the roads.

MUCH SYMPATHY
FELT FOR MARTIN
Boydton People Anxious to See
Train-Robber Get Off With
Light Sentence.

IT am not the attorney for Percy Mar
tin, the self-confessed train-robber. yet
/ advised him while I was in Boydton.
I gave him advice simply because SYM
pathized with him. He is n young man
who is innocent OF the ways of the
world and If am any Judge OF human
nature he has never been in trouble be-
fore
Mr.. II. NJ. Smith, Jr.. one of the fore
most criminal lawyers of the State made
this statement yesterday afternoon when
talking with reported for The Times
Dispatch. Mr.. Smith Is firmly Of the be-
lief that Martin, who has confessed to the
daring hold-up, acted while no was un-
der the influence of some dope or when
he was crazy with whiskey.
"And I want to say another thing"
exclaimed the attorney. There are more
pretty women-and mind you am mar
redn Boydton than there are in any
ether city in Virginia.
They are all in sympathy with Martin
who has a young wife back in West
Virginia, and who Is Offering his very
life as sacrifice for the crime he com
mitted. His wife, so ! learn. will be with
him at the trial. She is said to be a
very pretty young woman, and from what
saw of the ladies of N1ecklenburg, she
will receive cordial welcome there
The penalty for the crime OF which
Martin is guilty Is not less than eight
years in the penitentiary. The extreme
penalty is death. From all accounts 1t
is thought that Martin will get off with
the minimum punishment. Because of
his frank statement regarding the hold
up, and the officiating circumstances sur
rounding the affair, 1t may be that a
conditional pardon will be granted after
the man has served two or three years.
