ROSHON'S STORY
Officers Investigating Train Rob. beryNoi Satisfied With Some
 Features of Ii
FOUR SACKS GONE.

Columbus, O., May 1.-The St Louis express on the Penna rail- road which was held up last night 10 miles west of Pittsburg, arrived at the Union station here at 2:3O a. m., 40 minutes late. The crew confirmed the story of the hold-up by two men at Walkers mill and say that the bandits escaped with
 four sealed bags containing mail. The crew states that a number of express packages and quantity of gold bullion were taken but they do not know the value of the property. The Adams Express people here re- fuse to make any statement. Noah H. Roshon os Columbus, the express messenger, says that two men en- tered his car east of Walkers mill and covered him with revolvers. Then they tied him with ropes they brought with them and rifled the car. As the train approached Walk er's mill they pulled the signal cord and stopped the train. They escaped when the train slowed up.
 Conductor L. l.. Lafferty was at tracted to the express car by the sig nal and found Roshon helpless. It was learned that three bags were rif1ed by the men who entered the car. What they obtained is only a matter of conjecture even to the of ficials of the express company at this time. It is believed, however. that the booty is of great value. Roshon on arrival here at the end of his run was taken in charge by the local management of the Adams Express company and is being ques- toned.
 There are some features of his story with which the officers are not satisfied and they are trying to get at more of the details of the rob- bery. Conductor Lafferty says he knew nothing about the robbery un- til he heard the signal to stop which came from the express car. He saw no one leave the train, nat hurried to the express car as soon as the began. The contents of the bags were scattered about and he found Roshon lying on the floor bound so tightly that he was en- tirely helpless. The messenger was at once released and told the con- dnctor the same story which he re- peated after his arrival here.
