CHATTANOOGA. Tenn, March 3d.
Mr.. and Mrs. w. H. Bennett early to-
day were found guilty of voluntary
manslaughter by jury which recon-
mended confinement at 10 years in the
state penitentiary. The defendants had
been on trial for six days on a charge
Of Staying Miss Augusta Hoffman, aged
aunt of Bennett.
Notice of motion for new trial was
filed.
That the crime for which the defend
ants were cor victed dates back to Feb
ruary, 1915. was the contention of the
state. Miss Hoffman disappeared while
making her home with her nephew in
Chattanooga. A skeleton was uncov-
cred last July under the basement Of
the house theySoccupied until 1917. This,
said the state, represented the body OF
Miss Hoffman. The defendants vigor-
osuly denied any knowledge of the bones
brought into court or the whereabouts
of Miss Hoffman.

and American railway express officials
today were still without a clue that
promised solution of the holdup of an
express car on New York Central

escaped with loot estimated at $1,000
They had hoped that Arthur F. Planck,
Jr.. %. might be able to give them
some information when a valise tab
bearing his name was found rear the
railway station in La Porte from where
the robbers fled after leaping from the
looted train.
Young Planck, who was questioned
early today by detectievs, said he had
been in La Porte Saturday on business
but left at six o'clock, coming directly
home. Police expressed confidence in
Planck's story.
According to NJ. F. Muldoon, special
agent of the express company at Cleve-
land. the robbers obtained less than
$1,000 in currency, all in New York
Central railway remittances. Muldoon
explained that the largest shipments Of
money weer carried on later train.
Howard Young of Buffalo, express
messenger in charge Of the car at the
time of the robbery. assisted Muldoon
and other express officials in checking
the contents of the car. Young, who
has been employed by the concern for
eight years. was exonerated from blame
by the company and no attempt was
made to hold him at Cleveland, although
it was said he would be asked to re-
turn to Chicago for questioning.
Young said that the robbers handed
him a note at the Englewood station in
Chicago signed by F. NJ. Hotchkiss, ex-
press agent, authorizing them to ride
in the car as far as La Porte. This
note was forgery.
