MONEY SHIPPED AWAY.
One of the clues being followed by
the officers is that the money was
shipped out of Pensacola on the same
date of its disappearance. They seem
to be inclined to thu opinion that the
men who schemed and carried through
the big theft packed the money away
in different sized bundles than the
original one and shipped 1t either to
confederates In other cities or else to
/ some assumed name in some distant

package.
It is understood that with the view
of defeating such a scheme instructions
have been sent to every express ofaoe
in the United States to examine close
ly every package that is received from
Pensacola or has been received since
the date of the robbery. If the money
went out from Pensacola in this man
ner 1t is pretty certain that within a
short time 1t will again repose safely
in tae vault of the Southern Express
Co, but not until after some party
calls TO secure the package.

special agents and Pinkerton men are
not idle by any means, and are not

money has been shipped out A dozen
or more are scattered between Pensa-
cola and FIomaton, with a number in

are beating the streets. hotels, saloons

rants, hotels and other places. and
usually they are following some one
