sheets of foolscap from his pocket!

him in your power? If so, you can
have this confession, all signed and
everything, for two hundred pounds

Francis took the papers and glanced
them through.
"Supposing buy this document
from you," he said, what is its ac-
tual value? You could write out an
other confession, get that signed, and
sell it to another of Sir Timothy's
enemies, or you could still go to Scot

you have made as to the death of Mr..
Hilditch is entirely imaginary, that

| BANDIT IS KILLED IN
ATTEMPTED TRAIN ROBBERY

EAST ORANGE. July 31-One
bandit was killed. one escaped and a
mail clerk was wounded twice when
he frustrated an attempted mail
robbery at the Lackawanna railroad
station at 5 o'clock today.
Eugene Stack, 23, mail clerk en-
ployed at the local postoffice, Is in
the Orange Memorial Hospital with
bullet wounds in the right thum
and right leg as the result of his re-
pulse of the bandits, who had. 1t is
believed, tried to steal mail pouch
carrying federal reserve packages.
The escaped bandit got away in a
taxi which is believed to have been
driven by n confederate.
Stack, who has been attached to
the local postoffice but six months,
as his regular duty went to the sta
ton to meet the 4:58 newspaper
train and had taken off six pouches,
including the federal reserve bag.
when two men got off the train and
limped toward him. Stack was pill
ing the sacks on an open elevator to
descend to the street floor. Near
him was Assistant Baggage Master
Golden r. Treadwell.
The bandits opened fire without
warning and it was Immediately re-
turned by Stack. One bandit fell
dead at the top of stairway and
plunged to the bottom. The other
fled to the street where Stack saw
him enter the taxi and be rushed
away.
Stack walked across to the post
office where an ambulance was sum-
moned and he was taken to the hos
pital.
According to the police check-up
the two bandits had boarded the
newspaper train at Newark. where
they bought tickets. Search for the
escaped bandit and his alleged ac-
complice has been unavailing.
No official estimate of the value
of the federal reserve mail pouch
could be obtained until a check-up
is made.
