It brought to mind the robbery of the itage from Chicago, south of the sycamore woods, In the autumn of 37, by a man who had ridden with the driver from Chicago and who, It was thought, had been In collusion with him. A curious feature of the robbery had been revealed by the discovery of th mall sack. It waa unopened. Its contents undisturbed, ita rusty padlock till in place. The perpetrator of the crime bad not soiled hla person with any visible evidence of guilt and so was never apprehended. Then for e time Blm entered upon great trial. Jack Kelso weakened.
