OLD BUILDING
GIVES Way TO
CITY GROWTH

Brick BY brick the imposing old
red brick postoffice and federal
building here was being torn down
today.
workmen who for several days
have been dismantling the build
ing. taking out window frames,
door frames. pieces OF roof and
ceiling. today started work on the
old red brick.
Shipped In 1890
This is the brick which was ship
ped here from Kansas City In 1890.
And 1t Is as good today as 1t was
then. according to r. K. Ray. super
intendent of construction for the
A. j. Rife construction company Of
Dallas.
Rife said practically all the
brick Is being saivaged. and that
several persons here are bidding on
1t. to use 1t in other construction
work.
The job Of razing the old federal
building will require about 30 days,
Ray said.
Considerable interest Is being
shown in it by contractors and
other building men. because Of the
fact that the building. after the
40 years OF its existence does not
have a crack in its walls.
Foundation Good
I'VE don't know just what kind
OF foundation 1t has," Ray said.
Some OF the workmen said they
we're told the foundation sits on
three or four feet Of brick set
beneath the level Of the building"
At any rate 1t Is a first class
foundation, contractors declare.
Local labor Is being used entire
" in the dismantling work. and
will be used In TIT construction Of
tn, new building. which Is to be
started as soon as the old n Is
RACED.
The new federal building will
rest on piling driven IS feet into
the ground.

BANDIT gang
GOT LOOT IN
! BROWNSVILLE

HOUSTON. Sept. 22-R- An
amazing story has been given by
Jack Jones, brother of the slain
Chester A. Cxeggy) Jcnes, to three
Houston officers, a story OF thu
workings Of a band. trained by long
years In crime, whose forays ex-
tended over the length Of Texas
and whose loot ran into the thou
sands.
Jack Jones told the story that
the slayers of his brother and
brothers wife nay be brought to
Justice. The recital to Jack may
mean many years behind the walls
ut Huntsville.
Named in statements made by
Jones r these men:
Chester Jones, whose life was
blasted out in his luxurious apart
ment on August 81.
Prisoner Returned
Barney McGanegal, ex-convict,
arrested In Pueblo. Colo, and re-
turned TO Houston yesterday.
j. II. johnson Of Dallas, arrested
at q downtown hotel late yesterday
and held for Sheriff r. s. Weisiger
Of Victoria in connection with .
robbery there.
The first statement tells OF a
lob" at Paris In July:
johnson told Chester and / there
was a store in Paris where there
should be five or ten thousand dol
lars.
I'm about a month, johnson,
Chester and I met in Dallas. john
son told us we would have TO go
there by ourselves and pull the
lob because everybody In Paris
knew him.
we went TO Paris and knocked
the knob from the safe and then
tried TO punch II but we could not
open it, he continued.
Three shots OF nitro glycerine
were needed to open the strong
box.
we got all the money we could
find.
1T was almost daylight when we
picked up our tools and went out
OF the building. AS we went out in
Ia the street. we saw a police car
20 by. They saw US about the time
we saw them.
Shot mt Cops
I'VE ran for our a and made
Il. chester shot at the officers and
they returned the fire. One bullet
came ND through the rear Of the
seat and hit chester in the side,
but Il was spent and just dropped
down and did not hurt him.
THE officers followed us about
two or three miles then we lost
sight OF them.
The Paris job Melted about
$4,000 and q lot OF checks
The next FOB" planned was the
robbery OF a bank messenger at
the Texas and Pacific passenger
station in Fort Worth.
The loot was divided a few min
utes later In Johnson's hotel room.
I'VE got close to $1,000 in cash
and the rest was checks. We tore
the checks up and threw them
down the sewer"
Thus with some $4,000 in loot,
the gangsters returned TO Houston,
here 70 "rest up" in Chester's
apartment and to plan new Jobs"
Numerous other robberies. in
Guiding two at Corpus Christi. one
at victoria and n at Brownsville.
were detailed. At Corpus. at Diff

said, robbed a chain store, getting
$50 and the Or. Pepper plant,
getting about $50.
