TWO MEN ARE HELD
FOR TRAIN ROBBERY

SAVANNAH, Ca, Dec. 16.-George H.
Hill and Henry Eckstorm, the two men
said to be from Baltimore, who were
placed under arrest yesterday afternoon
for robbing the Coast Line train at Har-
deeville, are in separate cells in Chatham
county fail, waiting for hearing before
a United States commissioner next week.
They do not talk a great deal, but Hill
who is the youngest of the pair, says he
came down from Baltimore by steamer a
few weeks ago. Hill says he came for his
health and after meeting Eckstorm on
the steamer the two went to Hardeeville
for the purpose of hunting. They will
depend largely upon an alibi in con-
nection with their defense as they say
they were in bed when the robbery took
place. Hill is said to be the son OF a
Baltimore physician.
Eckstorm talks very little about him
self. The postal inspectors who worked
I'D the case are very busy now gath
ering their evidence TO present at the pre-
Iiminary hearing. 1t is expected that
Assistant United States District Attorney
Alderman will be brought here to repre-
sent the government before the commits
sioner although the robbery took place
in South Carolina.
