had dented the cartridge in a peculiar way.
Several shots were fired out of the two
automatic guns found and the gun num-
bered 11.2s2 gave the identical markings
on the shells. This was considered a great
point. At this time Marshal Warner said:
''You can say for me that there is abso-
lutely no doubt that the guns found in
Brown park are the ones used in the
Overland Limited hold-up. II the connec-
ton can be made between the cache and
the men we have the case is clear The
officers we're all busy pn the case from
that time until the finding of the mail
sacks as narrated confirmed the discovery.
After the finding of the first gun had
been reported and the children were ex-
cused in the afternoon they Immediately
went into tn draw and searched for more
guns. Soon John Potach. Seventeenth and
s. : discovered the pocket searchlight.
With him we're Anton Kubat and Harold
Whitaker. John Swoboda. All South
Eighteenth street, found the big Colt re-
volver. Frank Kudrna, Eighteenth and
o streets, discovered the third gun, an
automatic Colt gun. Two magazines each
were found for the automatic guns and
they were loaded full of cartridges.
Friday morning when the events of the
night became known to the pupils Of the
school the teachers were unable to re-
strain the eagerness of the children, who,
breaking restraint, took to the woods In
search of more booty.
VaVra COnsuIts Lawyer.
1t is said OF John Vavra, the janitor who
made the discovery of the mail sacks in
the unfinished attic of the building, that
he consulted q lawyer before he made
known his find. This is not the first in
stance Of the aftermath of the robbery
when the reward was carefully considered.
II is the first instance, however, that a
discovery was delayed from morning, until
afternoon for the sake OF tha kind Of
interest.
John .Krolik, the boy who made the first
discovery, is a Bihemian boy not larger
than q minute. He is thin faced and slen-
der OF limb and most entirely innocent of
any detective instinct, He ventured timidly
to the. jail during the evening and an
bounced unodestly that he was the boy n
made the discovery. He is only Ii years
of age.
1t is evident that some nice distinctions
will have to be drawn by the arbiters of
the reward. . ~

Tar hut $40 in cash has been recovered from
the mail sReAs by the postoffice inspectors.
The fhdfsAtions seem now to point to the
fact that there was not a great amount
OF money IN. the sacks, A quantity of for
sign money ORDERS we're found, and a
number of letters picked up in the loft
were addressed to foreign countries.
The government authorities are strongly
Of the opinion that the fourth man, who
Is not Rpprehended, has got away with
most OF the money. whatever amount of
money was obtained.
Candles Point to Guilt.
A strong point in the evidence is the
fact that a clear wax candle was found
in the grip belonging to Torgensen or
Woods in the room at 324 North Twenty
fifth street, and another Of exactly sim
liar kind was found in the cache at Nine
teenth and V streets, South Omaha. II
is one more link in the chain which makes
the identity of the highwaymen assured.
