assisted In planning the hold-up, but
who was prevented by circumstances
from being present and taking part,

George Creswell aged Is.
According to the story told by Ran

youngest OF the four. who is said to
have turned the switch, ordered the
engineer to back up, and to have gone
through the passenger coaches with
the conductor, forcing the latter u

from the passengers. According to
the other boys, it was also Hatch
who shot Dempsey and shot at Con-
