also. He came in company with an
other boy, Robert Allen, Jr., the son
of Major Allen. the other American
officer held for ransom.
One of the conditions said to have
been laid down by the bandits is the

regular soldiers. They are declared
to have wrecked the express train as
a last resort when they were pressed
hotly by troops.
