Waslilngton, Oct. 13—Astonishment
is the feeling uppermost hereabout."
concerning hist night's train robbery
within twenty-live miles of this dty.
The details are as follows:
The train held up was the north
bound express train on tho Richmond,
Fredericksburg and Potomaa railroad,
leaving Richmond at 7 o’clock last
night. The train left Fredericksburg
at 8:58 o'clock, on time. Tho robbery
occurred near Acqula creek, between
Brooks station and Wide Water, an
exceedingly wild part of the country,
well suited for tho purpose.
It is not known at what point tlie
robbers boarded the train, and the first
Intimation anybody bad that trouble
watt brewing was when two men
Jumped frolu the tender down into the
cab and, leveling revolvers at the as
tonished engineer awl fireman, ordered
them to stop the train, line engineer
hesitated, but when informed time he
must stop the train or be kdled, ho
closed tnu throttle auu the train, which
was running forty-live miles an hour,
slowed up and finally came to a com-
plcto standstill.
The flremnn and engineer were com
pelled to leave the engine and sit qui
etly on tlie bank alongside the track,
when the bandits, who were seven In
number nnd all disguised by masks or
by handkerchiefs tied over the lower
part ot their faces, made for the Ad
ams express car, which was In charge
of Messenger J. S. Crutchfield. One
rubber entered tho car. As described
by Crutchfield, he was of heavy build
and dressed like a farmer, although he
seemed lo thoroughly understand tho
express business. He had a red linnet-
kerchief over the lower part of his
face.
THE MESSENGER'S STORY.
“When the train was stopped," says
Crutchfield, “I opened the door of my
car. The robber fired a shot nt me. 1
dodged back and closed the door. He
called out: ‘open that door.’ I did
not do It. ‘Open that door or 111 blow
the whole d—d oar to pieces with dy
namite.'
"Then ho threw n stick of dynamite.
It struck the door and shattered It
and the casing. The force knocked
me off my feet. I then opened the
door. One robber came In and made
ine open the safe. He took everything
in It. There was one package which
he must have- thought contained only
pipers, for be threw It into the box
ngntn. It contained $0,U0u, Then lie
said: ‘Open that other snfe.’ 'Thnt Is
simply a ilcnanena safe,' I t-xpluiuOu.
‘The h—1 It Is,' he roared. '.Show me
your waybill foriit.' I sfart'*l lo get
the bill and he said: ‘Keep your bands
up. Show me the paper and I'll get
It.’ He looked at the bill nnd was sat
isfied thnt tlie second safe contained
nothing, which was true. The. mail
was very cool all the time. He liad
seven or eight through express pouches,
each containing package" of money;
how much I can't guess. The man cut
n small slit In each pouch and took
every package." CrutchfieM thinks
there may have been $150,000 In the
packages.
Tlie robbery occupied nlKMit twenty
mlnntes. Tho night was dark anil the
place wns a deep out. T)ie engineer
nud fireman sat on the bank on one
side of tile train during the robbery
and were not ten feet from two or
three robbers as they tired shots into
the air. The man who entered the car
seemed to be the lender, although n
man on the outside with a high-keyed
voice had a good deal to say about
things. Tills man was tall 'and ran
about a good dent. He drove Charley,
the negro porter, who rush'll ahead at
first thinking fhat tramps were shoot
ing, "back Into the Keeper glut fired two
shots at him. The train crew, the pos
tal clerks and all of the messengers
were thoroughly cowed, the terrific dy
namite explosion having entre'd them
to fear that they would he blown to
pieces at ally toe,merit.
A TDUCKY CONDUCTOR.
Conductor Bird> "ig, who la one of
oldest conductors on the road, alone
of those tu the rear conch, s. showed
fight. lie passed through the trulu
nsk.ng ench innn whether lie had a re
volver. and finally succeeded In finding
a snuiil revolver. Armed with this, be
stationed himself nt the head ot the
I idi.V ear. enuli.'llillg the p.l-v-engel"
to keep their seats and remain quiet.
He coolly nsrerisd that he would kill
the first porsou who set foot in the
ear. All the pflOiengtrs bid their val
uable*. and many of them dropped
down In the aisles and between the
seats. There were seven postal clerks
tn the cur ahead of the express ear.
The postil rar was full of windows
and the clerks were badly frightened.
They had no arms. Tlie postal ear bail
many sacks of registered man matter,
but no effort was made to touch them.
When the robbery liad been com
pleted the tall man who had tired tho
shot Into the express ear cave the
wont “Go ahead whh the engine.” The
bandits compellixl the engineer to tin-
e.mnle the engine. Jumped aboard and
made good their escape in tlie direction
of the l'otomac river, where it i* wip-
pnsed they had ■ lioat In waiting to
take them to Maryland. The robbers
are supposed to have left ihe engine
tefore i: pnss.sl Wide Water .ind tin
telegraph ,>;>orai"r at tha: station,
comprehending that something was
wrong, telegraphed ahe.nl t.» Qunntlco
to I - rk ."it for a wild engine A
switch iva" thr-'wn just e- p . t
Qnantteo and when the eagme i-rived
It was thrown over "i a swinli.
crashed Into a number of empty freight
cars mid tn a moment mere a huge p i"
of debr.s marked the -mm where ill ?
i is tlie wild engine .lashed Into the
j yards and out vie sill ■ track Into the
freight cars. An en/ni was sent to
Quantlcc to bring In ths delayed train
nnd it arrived In Washington with Its
frightened and uemoniiisiat pastes*pas
.it 1:17 a. in., a little over two hours
behind schedule time. The train with
the rifled express car, still tu charge of
Agent Crutchfield, was Immediately
switched on to tlie Sew York train
nnd In ten minutes after its arrival
v as on its way to New ork. The rail
road company has placed a reward of
Jl.OOO each on the roblier*. A dis
patch from Richmond says Governor
O'Ferralt has added another thousand
dollars to tho reward.
THE AMOUNT NOT SO LARGE.
New York, Oct. 13.—No further in
telligence ns to the aiuouut of money
looted from train No. 78 on tho Rich
mond. Fredericksburg auil Potomac
railroad could be obtained this after
noon at the Adams Express Company's
headquarters in New York. The offi
cials of that company were busy re
ceiving reports from the points from
whence the different consignments of
money Here shipped and were endeav
oring to sum up the total loss. Tho
amount stated to have been taken
ranged from $150,000 to $*J5U,U00, but
the Adams Express Company gay that
It will not be near the lowest of those
figures. It was also rumored that ft
clew liad been discovered to the rob
bers, but the officials of the company
would not speak about It.
ONE ROBBER SURRENDERS*.
Washington, Oct. 13.—Advices re
ceived in Washington are to the effect
that residents of Stafford county, Va.,
tn which the train hold up and the rob
bery was perpetrated last night, be
lieve the leader of the band of robber"
was George Carter, who, tt Is said, up
to two years ago, lived about a mllo
from Aquia creek, tho scene of ihe rob
bery. Carter Is described ns 31 years
old, S feet to 1-2 Inches In height,
weighing about ICO pounds. He lias
brown balr and a dark complexion,
two moles on hla left cheek and n mole
on the under lid of his right eye. The
thumb and index Unger ot his right
hand are gone. In January of last
year, It is statist, Carter was sentenced
to seven years' iinprisouuieiit In Ming
Sing for robbing tlie home of tlie su
perintendent of Blackwell'" Island, but
escaped after a few mouths' Incarcer
ation nnd has since evaded capture.
He Is also wanted In Pennsylvania and
Virginia for robbery. Carter was nt
one time a locomotive engineer,' la
crafty and a thorough desperado.
Tills afternoon n man came to pollco
headquarter" and gave himself up, de
claring that he was one of the bandits
but, being refused a "bare at the booty,
would turn state's evidence. He Is
closely gunided by the detective* and
reporters arc not allowed to see him.
