 Little Rock, May 2.-W w. Dunn, 52l l-2 Main street, formerly rail- road conductor; William Airing, All Bragg street, formerly an express messenger, and Homer Heard, 1922 Rock street, this morning were ar rested, charged with being implicated
 in the robbery of United States ex- press car on the night train to this city from Hot Springs on the night of April 10,
 At the preliminary hearing, Airing. the messenger on the footed car, con fessed his part of the robbery and i'm. plicated the other two men. Airing is in jail, while Dunn and Heard are at liberty on temporary bonds of s25OO each.
 The arrests followed weeks of work by railroad detectives and the local United States marshal's office. Simultaneously at 6:30 o'clock this morning the three men were arrested, each at his home. Heard was ar rested by Deputy United States Mar shal Sherrill, Dunn by Deputy Mar shal Mallory and Airing By Deputy Marshal Burris. Each officer had as- sistance in case the men resisted. When placed on the stand at tha preliminary hearing Airing, it is said, said that prior to the robbery he and the other two worked out the details. planning to have Airing tied in q trunk when the train arrived in this station and to have him tell false story.
 The train was robbed of about s1,- 400, and when the train arrived here from Hot Springs Airing was found tied and gagged in a trunk in the train. He said he had been held up and forced into the trunk, first being tied and gagged. He said two men boarded the car at Haskell and left it at Benton. A negro porter, Will Browning, also said two men, and de- scribed them similar as had Airing, boarded the smoking car at Benton.
 Airing, it is alleged, says that Dunn was the brains of the robbery, but that he did not board the train. Ac- cording to the officers, Airing says young Heard boarded the car at Hot Springs and rode with him until shortly before the train reached Little Rock. It is also said that he claims Heard took the express sacks, cut them open and took the money. later tying and gagging Airing and plac- ing him in the trunk, where he was found after the train arrived at the station here.
 Airing confesses, 1t is said, that Heard met him the next day and gave him $500 as his share of the loot
 Both Dunn and Heard, it is salds stoutly deny Ahring's story and say that it is "frame-up."
 One witness, when called to testify was intoxicated The witness aroused the ire of the court and was about to be arrested when he apologized. The hearing, however, had to be post poned until he became sober.
