Capture Two Train Robber Suspects

1 WASHINGTON, (P)-Police re- ported confession yesterday from two suspects seized in the daring Martinsburg, w. Va, train robbery. The two were trapped by police yesterday in a Washington pawnshop near the White House.
 One was shot when he drew a pistol.
 Police Lieut.. John E. Winters, who said the pair confessed, named them as Luman Ramsdell, 23, Youngstown. Ohio, and George Llewellyn Ahston, 21, also of Youngstown.
 Winters said policeman ElWood Lomax fired when Ramsdell drew a AS caliber revolver. Ramsdell was taken to hospi- tai with a bullet wound in the stomach.
 The two were captured IS hours after two young gunmen halted the Baltimore and 'Ohio's west bound Ambassador train Wednes- day near Martinsburg, terrorized passengers and escaped with more than $1,000.
 Ramsdell and his partner were found in the pawnshop by officers searching the area on a tip that two young men resembling the train robbers had got off a bus from the train robbery area.
 The two men police said. were talking about purchase of a suit case in the s. and w. pawnbrokers exchange when Lomaw and Police pvt. James D. Kennedy entered.
 The two officers said the pair answered the descriptions given for the train robbers, and they approached to ask for identifica- ton.
 Lomax said Ramsdell made gesture toward his hip pocket as if to produce wallet.
 Instead, the policeman said, he came out with a pistol.

 the technique. The raid netted as much as some of the Missouri gangs forays except when they happened upon money shipment in the express car.
 Some afficers thought this job was pulled by drunken amateurs. The victims were so dazed they couldn't tell exactly what hap pened. The plot went something like this:
 The Ambassador, with 100 or so passengers was picking up speed out of Martinsburg and was about two miles northwest.
 Someone pulled the emergency cord and engineer C. C. Moore stopped the big diesel locomotive. Apparently the cord was pulled by two men who had been drink ing in snack car and moved into the first vestibule behind the loco motive
 The two men pulled guns and started through the cars.
 Morton w. Peskin of Cumber- land. Md, felt gun at the back of his head
 Give me your money or I'll shoot" said a voice behind him.
 The gunmen slapped and showed hesitant passengers around. They used their revolver butts on some.
 The pair moved through the coaches to the club diner, which had been locked by a trainman who saw what was going on.
 One of the bandits shot through it. A Negro steward was nicked on the ankle.
 Engineer Moore went back to see what the delay. When he did not return immediately, diesel me- chanic Robert L. Mort of New castle Pa, went back. .
 The two gunmen rounded them up and shooed them to the loco- motive cab. Moore was forced to back the train up to a grade cross ing.
 The two men commandeered an automobile which had been stop- ped at the crossing. They took fireman R. B. Perdue of Baltimore with them. The car turned up at the nearby Clover Rail Tavern, which was robbed of about $20O as some 75 to 100 customers sat by as dazed as the train victims. Perdue got away there.

Droftees' and Veterans Guide
By Maj. Themes M. Midi

Veterans are wondering about
the fate Of 1920, now that the
Senate Labor Committee has
moved to keep it on the books as
per President Humans request.
It officially expires today.
The President recommended in
his midyear economic report to
Congress that the expiration date
for unemployment benefits for vet
Grams be extended for one
year, to July Is, 1885,"
He added a but: The $40 a
week should not be available to
veterans covered for unemploy-
ment compensation under State
laws, except where the State law
provides less jobless pay than the
Federal law, in which case 1920
could be used to bring the State
benefit up to $40 a week.
If the State benefit is entirely
used up. he added, then the vet
eran could draw his 52-20-pro-
vided, of course, he had not al
ready used that up, too.
But Chairman John Rankin of
the House Veterans Committee
has not been eager to extend I'M
employment benefits under the CT
bill. A few days after delivery OF
the Presidents message to Con-
