effect that James Clark told certain witnesses who have appeared before Mr razer and given their testimony to that effect that he was oftered $50 by the lieutenant governor to go to Detroit get on the board of can vassers and see to it that the amendment relative to salaries of state officers had a good majority Wayne county Clark says the prosecutor denies this and a pertinent question asked here to day is iaztt intend to take the unsupport ed statement of the defendant Clark upon this point or the evidence of the witnesses who have testified that make it? If so why has rested In this connection they that when Mr razer was assistant prose cuting attorney of Wayne county a few years since he conducted an investigation netore a vim and exuberance with which he started in upon this investigation eoimr to send "den tier cent1 the state prison until the council should be left without a quorum but when he came to draw his indictment dragnet he found

men wearing slouch hats and black masks leaped from the heavy bushes along side the track There are some differences of opinion among those who were on the train as to the number of men compos ing the robber gang At all events the two men took positions on either side of the and commenced a furious fusillade revolvers After this wild and seem aimless firing one of the men went to the express ear pounding on the door and demanding that it be opened Upon the refusal of the messenger to comply the robber placed three or four dynamite bombs on the sill Then ensued a terrific explosion nearly the whole side of the car living torn into splinters Harry Edgar who had expected this procedure got into the further corner ot the car and even then narrowly escaped death or injury from the living splinters Everything the car was shaken up and the detonation was most terrific Consternation prevailed among those on board the train right ened men and women jumped from their berths Conductor and Brakeman oster thought the wreck due merely to accident at first but when the pistol shots rang out and bullets began histling through the car they immediately changed their opinion Two tramps had gotten on the pilot ot the engine and were stealing a ride when the locomotive jumped the track One of them was hurled fifty feet and miraculous ly escaped injury The other was caught and buried beneath the debris of the en gine and instantly killed His body was horribly mangled and lacerated Ills name is Harry Daly Just after blowing up the express car the robbers at the point of a revolver compelled the extra fireman who had been riding on the engine to get into the car while one robber followed him This was done in order to protect the robber in case the messenger fired Under command of the masked robber the extra lirernan car rirol the of the local boxes which contained many sacks of gold outside the car where the other robbers were wait All this time the robbers kept up a furious fusillade firing into the tram and into tlie car After gathering into portable shape the supposed valuables the higli wivinen turned their attention to the over land safe These safes are so constructed that it requires much time and patience them and the robbers realized the futilitv of tittempting it so they lett it and vented their disapproval ot their inability to take even that by a volley their revolvers After gathering together their booty the robbers placed it in gunny sacks ami mounting horses galloped off in the di rection of the mountains It is no known how much treasure of

of the passengers settled themselves fortably for the night Many of were fast asleep before feachcd The express messenger postal clerks and trainmen were busily engaged in arranging matters for the night Ever since the train robbery and wrecking at Roscoe a few weeks ago the train hands on the overland train have a species of apprehension about the place and appear to expect a repetition of that

trainmen being unarmed and tearing that I might be compelled to help rob the express car I saw the two robbers very distinctly as they passed close by me while I was lying in the cactus There was one large and one small man the first hav ing a gray overcoat and the other dark clothes They had handkerchiefs tied around their necks which were lifted tip 2Xer their noses to mask their features 1 he bomb that was thrown against the door broke a few panels and some windows and stunned the express messenger Bevond that no damage was done The robbers made the express messenger carry the money they secured down from the car to ward their 2 horse team about 150 yards away But when within thirty yards of the wagon they took the mbney and made him turn back There were several bags of bullion and money in the car that the rob bers did not get and they probably did not secure a very large amount There were ten or a dozen shots fired altogether and three of them whistled close to me My recollection is that about five shots were fired before the bomb exploded Arthur Masters suffered a ter rible fate The wild plunging of the engine threw him off his feet and he fell down the opening between the tender and the fire box The rising of the engine closed the opening and pinched the poor fellow in by the lower part of the legs with frightfullv crushing force He lived about tin hour ami although we worked our best to extri cate him he died about ten minutes before we could get hub out In the midst of suf fering he begged for a pistol that he might kill himself and end his misery
