Edward Burton, the ex,Convict, who
was apprehended about a week ago,
charged with the robbery Of the post.

confession of the crime, and told how

frequently large sums Of money were
kept at the WOODBURY. store about the
tenth Of the month, when The oil men
were paid, After looking the condl.
tons over, he returned to Clarksburg,
got his explosives ready, and then re.
turned to do the job. He Kept shady
during the day and the early part OF
the night. He finally cut panel from
the window Of the store and entered,
going to work at once on the safe, and
soon had 1t bored and the nitro poured
In. He then set time fuse and went
down. the road short distance and
waited for the explosion, Returning,
Lea cleaned the safe out, getting the
amount on hand. He then started
back and intended to blow the store
and postotTice at Centervie, but was
caught by the sheriff before he could
get in his work there.
At times he is very communicative
and tells Of the various explosions he
has been mixed up In, So far it has
not been fully determined whether he
will be tried for breaking III the store
or turned over to the federal authori.
ties for robblng the postoflce, but 1t
will probably be the latter
