"We have given the jitney patrons on the Glen Iris route satisfactory service through the use of tickets for long time,' declared A. B.

FRIENDS SEE
MURDER SIGN
INNICHOLSCASE
Culvert Believed to Have
Hidden Body After Dyna-
hitting of Small Pond.

SEELEYyILLE, Ind, May ia cul-
vert one mile east OF here is believed by
authorities and citizens to be the place
where the body Of Guy Nichols lay for
some time before 1t was placed on the
interurban tracks, where 1T was found
Saturday.
The culvert which is about $50 feet long,
Is short distance from frequented
road. Two moldy logs lying close to-
gether on the cement floor of the culvert
are believed to have formed a resting
place for the body. The fact that Nichols
clothes showed traces Of mold carries
out the theory.
At the east entrance of the culvert.
small wagon tracks, apparently made by
coaster wagon. were seen leading to
the culvert. Whether these tracks had
anything to do with the carrying of the
body to this spot Is not known. but
citizens believe they have.
Friends Of the deceased are Of the
opinion that the man was murdered at
spot north Of the culvert and that when
searchers started dynamiting a pond.
in that section, the murderers moved the
body to the culvert.
Seelyville citizens continue to believe
that Nichols was murdered by two or
more persons and that he did not commit
suicide as was the verdict Of Coroner
Fortune.

THINK CITY IS
BANDIT GANGS
HEADQUARTERS
Express Car Robbery Near
Here Nets Thieves
$4,000.

Indianapolis Is the headquarters OF the
gang of thieves who looted an express
car on the Pennsylvania Railroad May
H. Is the belief OF detectives. II was
officially stated today the loot obtained
by the thieves would reach more than
81 900 in value. The merchandise stolen
from the express car consisted OF
women's dresses.
The robbers climbed through the
ventilator OF the express car when the
train stopped at Richmond 1t is the
theory Of the detectives the gang Of
thieves left the car at indianapolis when
the train slowed down just before 1t
reached the Union Station. The car en-
tered by the thieves was en- route to
Peoria. ILL.,. aid was loaded with ex-
pensiye dresses.
These dresses were removed from the
boxes In which they we're being shipped
and were dumped out along the railroad
Accomplices Of the thieves waiting for
the train to pass placed the stolen
dresses in automobiles and hauled them
AWAY.
The first clew obtained by the de-
tectives who are Investigating the rob-
berry was the finding OF dress valued at
500. This dress. part OF the robbers
loot, was found lying near the railroad
tracks Just east Of the Belt railroad In
indianapolis on the day following the
robbery. This is the only dress re-
covered.
The mon did not have full knowledge
OF the value Of the dresses found In the
express car. Many OF the most ex-
pensiye dresses valued Mt from $500 to
$50 each. were tossed back into corner
of the car, and some Of the cheaper ones
taken.
The car was dropped from the train at
Terre Haute. Express company employees
there discovered on May IS, the car had
been looted. One hundred and fifty boxes
in the car had been broken open.
A similar robbery occurred on the
same railroad two or three years ago.
and some Of the merchandise at that
time was found by railroad men in the
Pennsylvania railroad yards near the
Belt Railroad. However, the amount of
loot on that occasion did not equal in
value that stolen on this occa sion.

on duty were called out at the time when
the Indianapolis squad visited the city.
AS far as our efficiency here is con-
cerned, we wish to state that our repu-
tatfon in the past for catching bank
robbers Is far ahead Of the Indianapolis
police force in proportion to our force.
as the records will show in the county,
and further we do not go after them
with an army. We catch them before
they get out Of the county and seldom
do we mistake business men for bank
robbers, as the Indianapolis squad did
in their chase over several counties.
I'VE suggest that before the Indian
apolis police force attempts to cast any
reflection on the police protection of Mar
tinsville, they had better examine the
records Of the past offenses and arrests.
Furthermore. when visiting Martins
vile. we expect strangers to abide by
the law and not to cut the corners, as
We have posts at all four corners OF the

public yet insisted on goods at low cost.
He declared the modern merchant must
cater to the desires OF the buying pub

overhead as much as possible.
In a discussion following the talk Mr..

efficiency might be expected now Of en-
ployes than formerly. In discussing adj

more efficient when 1t comes to catching
bank robbers than the Indianapolis de-

What is more, the chief says the Indian
