THREE TRAIN ROBBERS MAKE BIG RAUL
Hold Up Queen & Crescent Near Brm'
ngham and Secure About $4,000.
Mail Clerk Wounded.

Birmingham, Ala.-Queen and Cres-
cent passenger train No. l, New York
to New Orleans, running 40 minutes
late, was held up Thursday night at
10:45 O'clock about IL miles north Of
Birmingham by three masked robbers,
who secured four sacks Of registered
email said to have contained more than
$4,000 in money and valuables.
The men boarded the engine near
the village of Attala and at the point
of reVolvers forced the engine crew
to stop the train, uncouple the mail
car and proceed a mile further south,
where another stop was made and
the engine detached from the car. The
engine was started off again, but be-
fore 1t proceeded far was deralled.
The robbers then turned their atten-
ton to the mail clerks, one of whom
resisted and was slightly wounded.
After ransacking the pouches contain

One pouch containing $4,000 in cur
rency was overlooked. The express
car was not molested.
A special train with a posse and
bloodhounds aboard left Birmingham
at midnight to take up the pursuit of
the robbers.
Engineer B. F. Murphy declares his
first intimation that the men were
board the train was when he felt the
pressure of the barrel of a revolver
against his cheek with instructions to
hold up his hands. He was forced
from his seat and while the man
who first appeared held him and the
firemen at bay another took charge
of the engine. At the time, Murphy
declares, the train was running at
speed of about IS miles an hour.
About II miles north of Birmingham,
between Irondale and Trussville, the
robbers stopped the train and COM
PEELED the engineer and fireman to
uncouple the mail car from the rest
of the train, while they departed with
the mail car and engine, Two miles
further south they stopped again and,
going back to the mail car, demanded
entrance The five clerks, suspect
ing that holdup was in progress,
bolted the doors, extinguished the
light, but fearing that threats to dyna-
mite the car would be put into execu-
ton admitted the men.
AS soon as the door was opened one
of the men, his hair partly covered
with handkerchief, jumped into the
car and two others quickly followed
One bandit demanded to know who
the chief Gle: was. A. B. Merville
answered, II am and the robber an

forced Clerks Clayton V. Hunter, A.
Stevenson, John 4. Livingston and
Jack Woodall to vacate the car while
they robbed it. During the entire
time, according to the clerks, one of
the robbers was calmly whistling.
