SOLDIERS
CONFESS To
ROBBERY
LANGLEY FIELD, Va, Jan.

LANGLEY FIELD, Va. Jan. 81.
John S. Wood and
James S. Harvey, charged with
holding up and robbing the post
finance officer of a $4,000 payroll,
have made partial confessions, &C.
cording to army officials here today.
The confessions of the accused
men have left undecided the ques-
ton of whether they will be turned
over to the civil authorities for
action or be tried before a military
tribunal. The confessions are said
to have strengthened the belief that
the robbery had wider qualifications,
and that it was not engineered by
the two corporals alone.
With the statements OF the cap
tured soldiers in their possession,
army officials are investigating fully
every phase Of the robbery and
upon the outcome will depend what
action will be taken.
