for Robbery on Train

-
The preliminary hearing OF P. Bar
Der, charged with forging the name
of Fank Conley on a check, was be-
fore Judge Beck yesterday. Conley
swore Barber entered a box car in
which he was riding and took the
check and several dollars. He had
not signed the check.
A number of witnesses recognized
defendant as having presented .Ae
check for cashing. Frank F. Nevin,
complaining witness, testified as to
Barber signing the check. Attorneys
Bedford & McFadden asked for a con-
tinuance until they could get a trans
cript of the testimony given by Con-
ley in the hearing of Corbett, who
was charged with being a party to
the robbery, the object of the trans
cript being to impeach the testimony
of Conley. The motion for a continu
ance met with strenuous objections
from Attorney Quayle, associated
with the district attorney. The court
allowed the motion and continued the
case until 10 O'Clock this morning.
Should Barber be successful in
having the charge dismissed he will
not regain his freedom, as a warrant
was sworn to yesterday by Emile
Robert, charging him with robbery
According to Roberts statement to a
News representative, he arrived at
Cobre September 81 and asked what
chance there was to get to McGill. He
was taken to Barber, who said he

Barber later entered the car he told
him to show what money hes had.
Robert showed him IS and told him
that was all he had. Barber then
searched, him and in his. watch pocket
found three five-dollar gold pieces,
which he took. Robert said he COM
menced to cry, as the money was alf
he had. The brakeman then returned
$40. Before .adriving at McGill, he
said, Barber again entered the car
and took a coat he had.
