from the Journals special correspond
ent at Tuscaloosa. One was the re-
mains of a fire and several whiskey
bottles. The fire had been built from
the planking of one Of the railroad
cars which had been wrecked with
nitroglycerine.
A governmental investigation, It is
stated, may develop from the robbery
as the result of an assertion by mem
bers OF the train crew to the effect
that four of the mail clerks and ex-
press messenger were unarmed at the
time OF the robbery.
Details of the killing of Deputy
Sheriff S. e. Bonner of Birmingham,
who met death between CottondaIe

ing while in pursuit Of train robbers
were wired early this afternoon by the

was shot accidentally by Deputy
Sheriff w. J. Cope of Montgomery"
The accident, the despatch says, oc-
Cured when Cope reached for his gun
which was piled with severa! other
rifles in the center of the car The
that followed sent a bullet
through Bonner's heart. John Nelson,
also a deputy of Birmingham, barely
escaped as the charge from the gun
grazed his leg.
