WEST VIRGINIA, TAKING VAST
SUM OF MONEY.
Robbers Believed by Inspector IN
Charge of Case to be Men Closely
Connected With Mail Service
or U. S. Treasury.

Cincinnati.-That not less than
500 900 and probably more-posslply
as much as O,OO0-was secured
by the bandits who held up the Bal
timore G. Ohio train No. ! at central
Station. w. Va, early Friday, was the
opinion expressed by postal o1hciais
in Cincinnati, after they had received
official reports from Clerk in Charge
Haines HUFF and the other Two man
clerks who we're held at bay while
the bandits escaped with ninety-three
registered packages containing money
shipped from the United States treas
ury at Washington.
From statements made by the three
postal clerks to Superintendent ClarH
of the fifth division of the railwa,
mail service, and particularly iron
full and complete reports made late
to Inspector Moran Griswold OF TN
Cincinnati division of the postofhc'
inspection service, there is strong IN
dication that the members OF the ror
bers band. or some of them, wer
closely connected with the mail sci
vice or the treasury department.
