The poice who are said to have been


 the first officers toarrice were Doc Parker, J. l.. Terry, J. c. Berry, J. A. Yves and Porter Bentley. They assert it would have been impossible for the second man in the car to have escaped, and that the transom ventilator of the mail car was broken open by the negro and that while he himself is not large man, he could not manage to crawl through the opening he had made by bursting the glass with his fist.
 It is stated the mail clers easily could have been mistaken as to the number of men they saw in the car, as the negro evidently moved about fast in his effort to escape. With the arrival of the police the railroad de- tectives, the constable and the federal officer there was such cordOn sur rounding the car, it is regarded as plain no man could have escaped from IDc cdT.
 But one way for the negro to have obtained access to the mail car in the event it had not been unlocked for him at some point was to have slowed away in if at St. Louis before 1t left the railway terminals there, the police think.
 On his way to the Texas side city ;.il Walters told officers Parker and Terry he gained access to the car while ii ,yas in the local yards, the story, however. was not entertained by the noIice as at all plausable.-Four States Press.
