Denver, Colo, Feb. 13.-That the
hold-up Of the Denver Il Rio Grande

early this morning, was the work of
three instead of two robbers, and that
the robbery Of the mail car gave them
a loot of possibly $4,000 is indi-
Gated by the investigation Of the DO
lice and railroad officials to-day. SO
far no tangible clew 10 the identity
or the whereabouts of the robbers
has been found, but 1t seems proba-
Dlo that the men came to Denver, and
are now in hiding in this city.
Eighteen packages CF registered
mail were secured. One Of the pack
ages is said to have contained a large
sum of money, but until thorough
checking ny of the missing packages
Is possible, the exact amount secured
Dy the robbers cannot be aScertained
The robbery was remarkable for
its originality and daring. 1t took
place within eight miles OF Denver.
wlihin less than two miles of Fort
Logan, the United States military
reservation, and at the spot where
ha' tations are plentiful. Yet so
thorough was the work Of the rob-
bcrS and so we'll were their plans
laid, that they had fully an hour and

of the vicinity Of the hOld-up indi-
Gates that third man and possibly a
fourth were engaged in the robbery,
that rubber tired buggy was in
waiting for the hold-up, and that tor
p"doeS and red signal fires were
used unsuCCcssfully in an attempt to
stop the train before the automatic
rcvolvera Of the two men on the en-
Slnc tender succeeded in doing this.
FNom the manner in which the hold

possible the robbers are the ones re-

Amid a fusiladc Of revolver shots
from one Of the robbers, another
forced the mail clerk TO open the

Lightfoot was not inclined to ACCEPT
the denial of knowledge of the meeting
at the theater. even after the witness
had repeated it, and there were some
lively tits when he pressed the ques-
ton.

SHEBA 4 MATCH
FOR LIGHTFOO1
Attempt to Badger Witness in
the Conspirator Trial
Futile.

Editor Sheba Of the Hawaii Shinpo
occupied the stand during the entire
session of Judge De Bolt S court yester-
day, and from all appearances his cross
examination has only fairly begun.
Under the severe cross questions of de-
PENDANTS attorney the witness showed
a remarkable command of the intriea-
cies of the English language, expressing
the different shading IN the meanings
of Japanese words by corresponding
discrimination in his English phrases
and showing equal familiarity with the
vernacular of the day.
At the very opening Of the session
Lightfoot began to ask If Sheba had
not used expressions in the "Shinpo'
as violent as those he claimed were
used against him in the "Jiji." Kin
ney objected, and the court ruled that
Mr.. Sheba was not on trial and that
the questions were inadmissible. Light
foot claimed in argument that one OF
his objects was to show that such ex-
pressions as the iron hammer were
poetical and allegorical and should not
be taken in literary sense.
After several flank attacks designed
to bring in the same evidence had been
cheekmated by objections from Kinney,
Lightfoot changed the theme and came
back to the meeting which was de-
signed to reconcile the differences OF
the four newspapers. Lightfoot en-
deavored to show that Maxine and Ne
goro had got their authority to attend
this meeting from a meeting held the
previous night at the Asahi Theater,
but the witness denied any recollection
of that meeting, although he had adj
mitted that it was possible that the
Shinpo' might have had a reporter
present if such a meeting was had.
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1909-07-24

adopted by their society. They were
in favor of the principle of higher
wages, but wanted more time to study
and advised proceeding in a peaceful
manner. The final conclusion of the
second conference was that they should
study the matter and meet again.
Lightfoot 8 next line of examination
was to take the first article in the
Jill" which the witness had trans
lated, detach the English translation
and give him the paper to translate
on the stand while the lawyers followed
the written version.
In the main the two TRANSACTIONS were
substantially the same. Occasionally a
word or a phrase would appear in one
which was not in the other and then
Lightfoot would institute a searching
cross examination on the reasons for
the discrepancy
The main controversy ragged over the
words iron hammer and ssiron
fist. !" Lightfoot wanted to know
whether the man with an iron hammer
was not merely a knocker and had his
hammer ont for the other fellow in a
very modern sense. The witness said
that the 1iron hammer might be used
figuratively and referred to any kina
of a severe blow, but that ssiron fst''
never meant mental controversy.
Lightfoot brought in copy of the
Jiyu, Sheba 5 afternoon paper in
which the expression was used s'ocea-
slonaliy the iron fist must be display.
ed, but the witness pointed out that
IN this case it was not used toward
an individual, b1t in a general way.
The witness was equally certain that
