Woman Tourist Thought
Car Was Afire.

Different passengers on the train
give different versions o. the hold-up.
Miss Olive Swanson, a tourist from
Chicago, states that she saw the Pull
man conductor and porter run
through the "Nyssa" greatly excited,
and Immediately came to the conclu-
sion that the car was afire. She says
that she and the other two women
on the ear were n t as badly fright
ened as the men, who seemed par
alyzed.
Shortly after the conductor rushed
through the car a staggering indi-
vidual," she said, came in and com
manded the occupants to throw up
their hands. ] did not want him TO
come near me and threw my purse on
the floor near him. He passed on
without picking it up. I had the i'm
preston that there were two bandits.
but | saw only one"
The Pullman conductor, J. f. jack
son, was the first man to discover the
presence of the robber. He says that
he was on the rear end of the car
when the porter asked him at which
station they were. He opened the
door to look at the tracks and the
robber leveled gun at him and conf
manded him to hold up his hands.
The conductor at first thought that
someone was riaying a joke.
Il went back into the car at his
command" said Jackson, and as
passed through l tried to get a re-
volver. At the other end of the car
| found the train conductor and told
him OF the robber. When l got back,
the man was gone"
Jackson described the robber as
tall and slender and as wearing t.
light checked cap and light suit.
Fred c. Hadley, Of Atlanta, was
sitting in the smoking compartment
when he heard the commotion at the
rear. and started out to investigate.
THE robber met me-" he said, AMI
commanded me to move into the car.
There he got about 500 from me. He
then robbed about eight other people
and made d break for the door, the
porter al his heels with a gun. There
was an exchange OF shot, and that
was all"

County Suspect
Tangled bY Police.

John Nolan, as he gives his name,
now being held as a suspect by the
county police, has told several con-
fiicting tales as to his business in
Bolton late yesterday afternoon.
Nolan first said he went to Bolton
to see MIR. Smith, a carpenter" but
didn't see him. A little later he said
he did see Mr. Smith, and transact
ed some business with him Asked
how he got to Bolton, and from
where, Nolan said he walked there
from Atlanta late Friday afternoon,
but later changed this and said he
rode from Atlanta to Bolton on the
Rome Express, a train on the West
ern and Atlantic Road that leaves
Atlanta at Sis in the afternoon.
Nolan, at first inclined to talk
good deal, has shut up rather tight
He refuses to say anything further
about himself this morning, and the
police do not think he has told mis-
right name.

would see that he was employed. The
county policemen could find nobody
in the neighborhood named Smith.
Several letters were found In
Nolan's pockets which are considered
significant. One from a man in Sa-
vannah' stated that a package had
been sent to Jones here to be dis
posed Of
A card from girl. signed May"
also was among his belongings.
When searched at the Tower, Jones
was found to have a well-worn pock-
etbook containing SO in bills, little
over 81 in silver, three dirty hand
kerchiefs. a pocket comb and sur
geon's scalpel
The county police believe Nolan
Is but one Of several who had a hand
in the hold-up. 1t is remarked that
the train had to stop at Winnings, a
station which let's passengers off
only on tagging. 1t is believed the
bandit got aboard there. 1t also is
believed the person who was let off
at Winnings was an accomplice of the

could intending to go to the for
ward part of the train and get a re-
volver and hurry back before the
bandit could complete his operations.
II found the train conductor in one
of the front cars. and told him what
had happened. He didn't have gun,
either, but we both started back to-
ward the Pullman, asking passengers
for revolver as We walked. By the

Passengers in Terror.
The terror which followed in the
wake of the bandit and his big re-
volver spread to other parts Of the
train, and in the day coaches and
the smoking cars passengers hid I'M
der seats and buried their money in
the bottom of their shoes Brakeman
E. L. SHELTON, who was in the smok-
ing car during the holdup, said he
saw several men hiding under the
seats, frightened almost out of their
wits at the report that a bandit was
on the train.

from other parts of the train began

Conductor Tells
Of Bold Robbery.

Stirring tales of the holdup were
told by the crew and passengers on
the train Saturday morning. Con-
ductor J. f Jackson, in charge of the
Pullman car that was invaded by the
robber declared he obeyed the com
mand OF the bandit because he was
unarmed and the robber threatened
to kill him IL he made move toward

From we'l-miXed account by

hold-up In recent years took place
about like this:

was slowing FOR some station. not far
from Atlanta. 1t was yet quite early
IN the evening, but very dark outside.
