Charged with Robbing Express Car at Social Circle in January, 1897. Confesses His Gailt.—Says He Stole $4,000 and Hid it, but Can’t Find it Now.— Arrested in Cincinnati.—Well Known in Gainesville. A BOND OF $5,000 Bush Must Give, or go to Jail to Await Trial in August. Over The Road. Receiver S. C. Dunlap, accompanied by Judge J. J. Kimsey, Hon. Howard Thompson, Col. H. H. Dean, Col. H. H. Perry and a number of other members of the local bar. went over the Gaines ville, Jefferson and Southern railroad yesterday on a tour of inspection. They went in a private car and returned to the city last night, and found the road to be in splendid condition. Un der Receiver Dunlap’s management the road has paospered and is now in lendid fix. The arrest of Lucius L. Saunders in Cincinnati, Ohio, Monday and his re turn to Georgia to answer to the charge of robbing the Southern Express Com pany of $4,000 at Social Circle January 16th, 1897, created great surprise in Gainesville, where he is well known. At the time of the robbery Saunders was a postal clerk on the Gainesville, Jefferson & Southern railroad. Not one of his friends ever connected his name with the robbery, and his arrest created consternation among them. He has a brother, Mr. C. H. Saunders, now living in Gainesville. Soon after the robbery Saunders gave up his position and left Georgia, and only his friends kept up with his whereabouts. Interest was revived in the case a short time ago by the receipt of a mys terious package of $3,700 by the South ern Express Company at Atlanta, this amount tallying exactly with the cash taken, the remainder $300 being in checks. Pinkerton detectives were in Gainesville then working on the case, and were fearful that that publication might scare away their game, Saunders then being in Cincinnati under the shadow of a Pinkerton man. This only served to put them to work harder than ever to fasten a chain of evidence around him, and since that day those who knew the facts have been expect ing his arrest. Saunders confesses to having taken the money, but says he did not send the package of $3,700 to the express company. He says after taking the money from the car he hid it, and it cannot now be found. Saunders’ trial will occur February 21st at Monroe, the crime having been committed in Walton county* The penalty for sim ple larceny is from one to four years. The friends of the unfortunate young man deeply sympathize with him in his trouble Henry Hedley Bush waived a pre liminary hearing before Judge Sims Monday night, and in default of a bond of $5,000 was ordered to jail. The at torneys for Bush, Messrs. Johnson & Dorsey, asked for fifteen days time in which to make bond. Colonel Dean and Mr. T. C. Parker consulted and’ allowed them ten days, but later de cided to give them fifteen days. In the event Bush does not make bond in that time he will have to go to jail tn await trial at the August term of courts Thirty days ago Bush was arrested at the instigation of Mr. B. C. Epper- sop and Mr. T. C. Parker of Macon, they alleging that he had misappro priated money entrusted him for in vestment in a certain mining operation, only correct story of which was told in detail in The Cracker at that time. Bush was allowed fifteen days in which to get the money from London, $5,00Gy with which he was to reimburse the Macon parties. At the expiration of that time he asked for fifteen days more, which was given him, and which expired Monday. The money had not arrived then and Mr. Parker instructed his attorneys to proceed with the triai of the case. Bush’s attorneys were not ready for trial and waited a prelimi- narj hearing, as above stated and with above named result. The case here rests. If Bush cannot, make bond he will go to jail to await trial. He insists that he will receive money from England, and that he will yet vindicate himself. Postponed. The recital that was to have been* given at the Georgia Female Seminary last Tuesday night by the pupils was postponed on account of the extreme cold, and will occur next Monday night. A good crowd is expected to be present and enjoy the excellent program to be rendered.
