SLAYER BOASTS Oh CRIMES.
Robert Holloway confs.ase to Many
BursIaries and Murders.e.

Chicago, Jan. 1O.-A mild-mannered
young man, well dressed, yesterday
calmly told Nicholas Hnpt. police in
spector in charge Of the detective bu.
reau, the most marvellous story OF
crime in the history Of Chicago.
He said that he is ami, international
bank robber, a murderer many times
over and an expert dynamiter of safes
He confessed that he was one OF the
men who robbed the branch of the
Bank Of Montreal in New Westminster
B. c., Sept. Is last. and that he was the
leader of the gang which robbed the
Bank of Panama City, Panama. OF
$S4, 900 in the spring of, 1910. In ad-
dition he told OF shooting down one OF
his pals" in the mountains Of Cen
trail America and Of killing at least f1f-
teen other men.
The young man gave his name as
Robert Frank Holloway, said that his
home is In Vernon. Tex. and that his
mother lives there: He also gave In
spector Hunt list q Of twenty
aliases he had used thruout the coun-
try. but would not talk much about
simply asserted that he was "one OF
the RdnS. According " HIS StOIS, ue
is the man who in thieves parlance
FUSED the soup" which means blew
up the safe.
Holloway was arrested Friday night
by Larry" Howe and tom" O'Mal-
lev in a south-bound Halsted street
car The detectives grabbed him be-
cause he seemed anxious to dodge
them. When arrested Holloway told
Detective Howe that it was lucky fol
the cops that he wasn't carrying his
usual pair Of revolvers.
After admitting everything Of his
past to Inspector Hunt, Holloway
leaned back in his chair pulled at a
cigaret and said: "Why. say. boys. I've
got $4,000 in a downtown hotel. This
stuff isn't going to bother me much
I'll get out Of it all right"
While he wouldn't talk about the
Bank of Montreal robbery, Holloway
talked freely about the looting Of the
bank Of Panama City.
