Bags, Then Line Up
Passenger; Escape
In Automobile

MARTINEZ, Calf. June 22-CFl-
Modern train robbers. armed with
automatics and a machine gun, to-
day held up a Southern Pacific pas
senger train near McAvoy. Calf,
and, after shooting the engineer and
lining up the passengers along the
right of way, escaped with loot estf-
mated at more than $4,000.
The gang, believed to number five
men. apparently had made con-
siderable preparation. Two Of them
boarded the train near Pittsburg,
and ordered the passengers in the
first car TO throw up their hands.
Then. after searching for weapons
but not taking any money one OF
the men climbed into the engine car
and ordered Engineer J. II. Bsrnes
to back UP the train. The latter re-
fused to comply and the bandit
shot him in the arm.
Force Train Back
The engineer was forced to bacA
the train to a spot where a third
bandit sat beside a machine gun.
Here the passengers were ordered
out and lined up with the machine
gun trained on them. Two of the
robbers then ordered the railway
mail clerk. George Tyler. TO open
the door OF his car. He refused and
the machine gun sent a shower Of
bullets at the feet Of Conductor
Harry Walmsley who had declined
to give up the key TO the car.
Walmsley, threatened with death.
then produced the key. One bandit
entered the car and afr firing
three shots in the general direction
of the clerk. showed him out Of the
door and lined him up with the pas
Sengers. Sixteen registered mail
pounches were rilled and numerous
packages taken. One package con-
tanned a $4,000 payroll for Southern
Pacific track workers.
Disappointed
Police believe the robbers we're
sorely disappointed because the
S130000 payroll of the Columbia
Steel company of Pittsburg. was not
in the car. This payroll had been
sent to the company'S plant earlier
in the week. although 1t Is believed
the bandits expected it to aboard.
After rifling the mail car. the men
ordered passengers and crew TO re-
main where they were for one hou:
under penalty Of death. They then
climbed in an automobile and van
ished. Barnes wound was declared
not serious.
Posses were notified and soon were
searching the surrounding country.
