INTENDED TO BLOW
SAFE. BUT LOST TOOLS

In his statement concerning the train
robbery Rainer said II was planned in
birmingham and that he and his pal,
Armstrong, had expected to blow open
the safe, but that in entering the mail
car they dropped their kit of burglars
tools and therefore could only rifle the
mail sacks He said he and Armstrong
made a killing" in one of the north
spend 1t. Landing in Atlanta they soon
spent their money and drifted to Bir-
mingham. Learning that large sums
OF money were carried on the Louis
vile and Nashville mail train they de-
cided to rob it.
On August they made their way
to calera and boarded the northbound
train at that point. When about two
miles out they entered the mail car
from the front end but in doing so
dropped their kit of tools Dashing into
the car with drawn pistols they had
the postal clerks covered before either
could arm himself. Rainer fired a shot
to let them know, so he states. that
they meant business. After Handwriting
and securely tieing up the clerks they
secured all the booty in the mail sacks
and dropped off the train when nearing
the station in Birmingham.
They made their way up town by a
circuitous route and entering a saloon
divided the spoils and proceeded to
have good time. Rainer states he
wanted to leave that night but his
pal insisted they go back for their
burglars tools. This, he said. proved

ARRESTED FOR VAGRANCY
BY POLICE OFEICERS

About 10 days ago Rainer was arrested
by Officers Cole and Goldstein on a.
charge of vagrancy, 1t not being suspected
at that time that he had been connected
with the train robbery. Deputies Sugg
and Hartsfield got tip that the man
was in some way connected with the
train robbery and from that time on went
to work on the case. Their efforts re-
suited in full confession of completely
one of the most daring train robberics
that has occurred in the south in many
years. Deputies Sugg and Hartsfield re-
ceived many congratulations for the
clever manner in which they secured the
confession leading to the capture, it \
said, of one of the most desperate safe
blowers of the country
Rainer claims Virginia as his birthplace.
but was reared in New York. He is of
the typical Bowery type. both in speech
looks and manner. He acknowledged
that he had several aliases and that he
had been in the tolls before He has
many tattoo marks on his person which
he said was done while serving a term
of enlistment in the United States navy.
Apparently ne was not much disturbed by
his position and at the conclusion of the
hearing before Judge Watts asked him
what his sentence would probably be.
The government officials and the county
authorities gave all praise and credit to
the two deputies Postoffce Inspector
Dilks stating he believed 1t was one of
the most important captures that has
been made in recent years.

TIED UP MAIL CLERKS AND
WENT THROUGH SACKS

On the night of August the startling
news was reported to police headquarters
that the mail car on the fast Louisville
and Nashville train from New Orleans
had been robbed by two white men who
had made good their, escape. 1t was
learned that two white men had boarded
the train at Calera and had entered the
mail car Immediately after it started
They covered the mail clerks with pistols
and handcuffed two of them while the
chief clerk had his tumbs securely tied to-
gether with heavy twine.
The registered mail bags were opened
and everything of value taken. The rob-
bers completed their job and rode on the
train toward Birmingham. When near
ing the city one of them pulled the emer-
gency brakes and as the train slackened
up the two men jumped from the train
and disappeared in the darkness The
engineer was the first to discover the
robbery and gave the alarm.
Immediately officers were placed on
the track of the bandits both from the
city, county and special officers of the
railroad company, but the men succeeded
in evading their pursuers. 1t was not
until the arrest of Rainer for a misde-
meanor that any trace of the robbers
was found.

PRESIDENT SMITH
TO CALL MEETING
Will Take Some Time, How
ever, to Notify Members
of Southern Club

In regard to the petition of members OF
the Southern club that a special meet
ing he called for the purpose of changing
the bylaws so that in the future the
members and the board of governors may
elect the secretary of the club, Col 4. o.
Smith, president of that social organiza-
ton, had the following to say yesterday:
"of course, l will call a meeting OF
the club at an expedient date but not
on August 2S, as asked in the petition,
as such a date is much too soon for all
the members to he notified and become
thoroughly apprised of the fact and a
number of members are out of town. How
ever l viii call the meeting some time in
the near future when the petition will he
considered. Nothing can be done at this
first meeting of the club, but the petition
must be passed over to the next regular
meeting time, or at a called meeting
Besides this, the petitioners must desig-
nate what special bylaw they wish to
amend or appeal and of course this Will
take time
As stated in The Age Herald yesterday
the constitution provides that the presi-
dent of the club must call special meet
ing when petitioned to do so by a certain
number of members. 1t is not incumbent
on the president, however. to call a meet
ing for any special date
Throughout Birmingham there is consid-
erable interest in the petition of the men-
bers of the Southern club, inasmuch as the
belief is general that it grew out of dis
pleasure on the part of certain of the
members following the dismissal of James
Randall as secretary and the election as
his successor of Capt. f. l.. Demere.

LETTERS TO EDITOR
"Assoiln


10 the Editor of The Age Herald:
Among the unavoidable slips of COM
positors / notice the curious, but not
wholly unnatural change of my word
'assoil' for "assail" in the sentence,
"He (Bright) declined to assoil those
who wronged men on the ground that
they loved their queen and country"
a sentence occurring in brief discus
sion of Bright's convictions concerning
war
The word "assoil" means to absolve
Or forgive-almost the exact opposite
of "assail." l looked it up a moment
ago in my little oxford dictionary and
find it marked archaic" and therefore

that lovers of English feel in the loss
of good words. Expression of the finer
shades of meaning depends on a wealth
of words accurately known and used
If We would, all of u.s. use more
words, IL we would enlarge our vo-
eabulary. we should save many fine
things from dying and vastly increase
our own intellectual interests.
But, some one says, If assoil means
the same as absolve or forgive. why
keep 1t, since already we have two
equivalents? The answer Is that as
soil is imbedded in our literature and
ought to be kept alive for the sake
OF It's past. 1t is more euphonious than
"absolve' and it means something more
than forgive implies a sort of official
forgiveness. 1t is of French ancestry
