"a MEN And SIX.

TRAIN ROBBERY.

CHICAGO, Feb. q P)--Two dozen
men, two of them confessed partici-
pants. and six women tonight were
in federal custody, suspected of the
$4,000 Grand Trunk mail train rob-
berry last Saturday, and $17l25 OF the
loot had been recovered.
1t developed that the police were
in possession Of the robbers complete
plan for three days prior to com
mission of the holdup and that
squad of riflemen waited to shoot to
kill Immediately upon the descent
upon the train. A mix-up OF in
structions, however sent the police
men to the Evergreen Park station,
five city blocks from the lonely ST.
Maria station, where the train was
fhalted
An elaborate system OF telephone
wire tapping installed with a special
switchboard in a downtown office
year ago by w. E. O'Connor, chief
Of detectives, revealed the entire plot
to the police
1t enabled them also to raid the
home of Charles 'Limpy" Cleaver,
whom they identified as the leader
and brains" of the robber band,
just after he had, in desperation,
telephoned to other members OF the
band instructions to rush away to
Cuban vacations.
The police said their wire tapping
system permitted them to hear
woman friend of Limpy upbraid nim
because he had not given her enough
OF the loot for the purchase OF a fur
coat and threaten to 'squeal."
Today also brought the release OF
five men and two women arrested
Saturday when the catch netted IA
men and six women, and the arrest
of 13 more men, who were turned over
to the federal authorities
! Named with Cleaver as a leader OF
the robber band was William Dono-
van. Joseph Fekete, president OF
the FekGte Mortgage company, pick
ed Cleaver and two others as the
men who rifled 40 safety deposit boxes
and escaped with $4,000 cash from
the bank.
Donovan, confessed author OF the
robbery plan, told in his confession
how the robbery was planned in mi
mute detail, using a cardboard train
and a cardboard station to represent
that at st. Maria's Only the re-
treat had not been rehearsed. AT
that the robbery was done so quick
ly that the policemen in the ambus-
cade at the wrong station arrived at
st. Maria's a full minute after the
robbers automobile had roared away,
although they raced towards it i'm
mediately upon hearing the crash
OF the explosive as. it wrecked the
end of the mail car,
After long questioning OF the pris-
oners turned over to him, K. P. AL
drich, chief of the, postal inspectors
in the Chicago district, stated that
none had confessed to him.

HICKMAN FORCED
me INTO CRIME
HUNT TESTIFIES

HALL OF JUSTICE, LOS ANG-
ELES, Feb. 27 tH9--An OLD view OF
a life of crime was spread before the
court here today in the Hickman
Hunt murder trial, when one OF the
accused youths took the witness stand
and used every means i'll his power
to back out OF the responsibility for
the killing and throw the blame on
his former pal
Welby Hunt, who, with William
Edward Hickman. is facing the court
charged with numbering G. IVY Toms,
druggist. in an attempted holdup OF
the Toms store Christmas eve, 1926,
poured out from the witness bcx a
string of denials that he. had a hand
in the killing of Toms outside his
presence there with Hickman.
Hunt declared that he had no wish
to rob the drug store and that
Hickman forced him into the Job by
threatening his life.
While court was in session Hick-
man sat stolidly in his chair behind
his attorney and gave no sign that
he even heard the staccato,. high
pitched accusations OF the boy who
accompanied him from Kansas C$~y
to Los Angeles i'll q stolen automobile
and went with him into the Toms
drug store the night the druggist was
slain in a uhree-cornereo gun battle
between the bandits and Patromah
Oliver.
When court recessed during the day
it was different Hickman, according
to his guards, who slumped into a
chair in the prisoners room, crying
and exclaiming, Its tough when a
friend double-crosses you.''
Hunt, as he took the stand, seemed
more at ease than while sitting
behind his attorney near the counsel
table.
He denied firing any shots in the
drug store fight that ended Toms
life. He said that his weapon was g
.38 caliber Colt automatic, military
type. The bullet that killed Toms,
previous witnesses had testified was
$50.
IT took part in the holdup under
fear for my life.
eHickman said, You'll take part in
this holdup or I've something here
in my pocket that will take care OF
you"
Hunt related how he accompanied
Hickman to the store that night,
scared to DEATH" saw i'atrolman
oliver in the rear OF the premises,
and, while the bullets flew, dodged
about the store seeking way CUT.
Two of the shots wounded Hurt in
the shoulder.
Tense, but glib and fast in his
replies, Hunt faced the cross eX-
animation of Deputy District Attorney
James Costello.
The attorney thrust TWO automatic
pistols under the eyes Of the witness
and Hunt Identified one as like the
weapon he had carried into Toms
drug store. 1t was a .38 caliber
Why did he do this and why
did he do that the nigIaG OF the
Toms murder were shot at him, and
Hunt came back with question for
the burly prosecutor, Were you ever
scared to death, Mr.. Costello?"
