Depot RObber Caught

One of the gunner who held up
Operator l.. d. Moorehead and
robbed the cash drawer at the
depot of $2O.10 on the night of
April %, has been caught and is
now in Jail. On account of a
remark he was overheard to make
that a certain conductor who had
diamonds and generally carried
considerable money on his person
would be a good holdup victim,
Verne Irvine was arrested at st.
Joseph a few days ago. After
rigid questioning Iryine is report
ed to have admitted taking part in
the robbery here and at Clarence
and Macon and that he had a part
in the killing of the operator at
Armour. He gave the names of
his accomplices but they have not
yet been apprehended.
Irvine was formerly a brakeman
on the Burlington but at the time
of his arrest was working in the
the freight house at st Joseph.
The confession of Irvine confirms
the belief of Operator Moorehead
expressed at the time that it was
done by someone familiar with the
situation at the local station.
Irvine is understood to be the
robber who remained outside and
kept the operator covered with a
gun while the other fellow came
inside and secured the money.
