BANDIT NOLAN IS
SENTENCED To
70 YEARS
Convicted of Robbing NJ C. &
St, L, Train at Vinings-Jury
Out Twenty Minutes.

John Nolan, accused of holding up,
single handed, the Nashville, Chatta-
noogd aud st. Louis passenger train
a few miles out OF Atlanta on the
night of January 16, and who, after
going through the pullman sleepers.
engaged in pistol fight with the
porter and a Cobb County policeman,
will spend the next twenty years in
the penitentiary, having been found
guilty by jury in the Cobb County
Superior Court late Tuesday
After twenty minutes deliberation,
the jury returned verdict of guilty,
based on the evidence Of F. w. Had
ley. of Atlanta. who positively identi-
fed Nolan as the bandit who went
through the train and took SIT from
him. The two negro porters also iden-
titled Nolan.
Nolan Only Defense Witness.
The defendants only effort to free
himself was his own denial. No 9TH
err witnesses were called by the de-
Tense.
The holdup was one Of the most
udflHB dlleHlpleu III inns ctdle LOi
many years. The lone bandit, I'M
masked, boarded the train near Vim
ings. At the point of a revolver, he
forced the passengers to turn over
their valuables. How much he re-
ceived is not known.
He attempted to jump off the train
just before arriving at Bolton, when
the porter opened fire on him. The
bandit ran to the vestibule and re-
turned the fire. A deputy sheriff,
who was a passenger in the coach
ahead, upon hearing the shooting,
rushed back and joined in the bat
tie.
Made Escape From Train.
During the excitement so many of
the women passengers became terror
stricken that the porter and sheriff
were forced to stop firing, and the
rObber jumped from the moving train
and made his escape. No one was
hurt by the bullets.
Nolan was later arrested by Cobb
County officials. He was seen near
the depot, and picked up on suspi-
cion.
AS he could not give a satisfactory
account of his presence in the neigh
borhood. he was held and later in
dicted by the Cobb County Grand
Jury.
Solicitor Herbert Gray was assist
ed by Charles II. Griffin, of Mariet-
Ia, in the prosecution. Nolan was de-
Tended by Attorneys Don X. john
son, of Atlanta, and j. E. Mosely, Of
Marietta.
