hats in hand while the third kept the
passengers covered. All passengers
were ordered to throw pocketbooks
into the hats. and this was done.
The conductor appeared in the car
with a pistol in his hand, but was
promptly covered with four guns and
forced to drop his revolver. After get
ting all the money in the car the rob-
bers jumped from the train, which had
slowed down for a grade. An attempt
was made to enter the sleeper, but it
was unsuccessful, as the door was
locked.
