Thursday, Nov. 10,1904 gffl' i t" 1 We confidently expect Governor Heyward to take some action in reference to having Adams, the convicted Colleton murderer, arrested. It is his duty to do 0, and we do not believe he will shirk it. ||:1 Mr. D. W. Smoak has assumed the edrap itorship of the Colleton News, and he gisfv . comes out strongly for law and order in fe* the first issue under his management, fef. His editorial on the Adams case is a strong arraignment of the peace officers of that MS. county. Ife; The Colleton News says that R. A Ad* pj ams, the white man tried and convicted p< t of murder and sentenced to be hanged in ||&,- that county, is still at large in the neigh borhood where the crime was committed ?|^... and that the fact is generally known. It .will be remembered that Adams escaped from jail while under sentence of death KpC;:" This is a terrible state of affairs if true. UPt Governor Hey ward should take as stren P;;"' nous action in this ease as he did in the ||iV JButawville lynching. ' HowMany Can You Guess?

Two men in the West were to be hang. ?d for horse stealing. The place selected was the middle of a trestle bridge spanning a river. The rope was not securelytied on the first man to be dropped and the knot slipped; the man fell into the liver and immediately swam for the shore. As they were adjusting the rope for the second man, an Irishman, he remarked: "Will yez be sure and tie that good and tight, 'cause I can't swim."

Tbe doors of tbe Missouri penitentiary have opened to Sam Wilson, known as tbe Tone train robber," wbo was received at tbe penitentiary July 3, 1803, and set him at liberty, having served three-fourths of tbe fifteen yean to which be was sentenced. Until Quite recently, when be was ptaoed In tbe prison library to look after, the books, WUson had been employed in A MASKED MAX CIJMBZD FBOM THB COAL ZSSDDL the shops. Friends will do something toward patting him on his feet The officials declare his prison record good. Black Bart terrorized Gihfornla by holding up stages. He did it all alone, but seldom had more than half a dozen persons to contend with. Fred Wittrock robbed Frotherlngham, a railroad express messenger, and did it single ' * - ? ?- 1 I In nanaea, tmi uk wut* lvuctowu im ujc car and bad only the messenger to overpower, bat Sam Wilson, alone and unaided, "stood up" a train and enforced the assistance of the crew In despoiling the express car. The Missouri Pacific train which left St Louis on the night of May 24, 1893, was held up one mile west of Pacific. The express car was shattered with dynamite, and the messenger, Samuel Hammel, was compelled to open the safe and deliver its contents, amounting to H000 in silver, to the robber. The robber, however, carried away only one-fourth of the amount, and half of this sum be strewed over a cornfield which he crossed in his flight United States Senator William Joel Stone, then governor of Missouri; ex-Governor Lou V. Stephens, then state treasurer, and United States Attorney William Warner were among the passengers. The holdup was not wholly unexpected, as three officers armed in anticipation of such an attack were among iihe passengers. That seven men were engaged in the crime so successfully carried out by one, and he a gawky country boy, seemed to be the impression that night, and a jnessage so stating was sent by Governor Stone to the St Louis officials. A few hours later?within a day, at any rate?tt was developed that the job was performed by one man and this man Sam Wilson. John Hamilton was the engineer and A. R. French the llreman or ine tram, and their story, told soon after the robbery, was that shortly after the train left Pacific they beard a peculiar voice and, turning at the sound, saw a masked mgn climbing from the coal tender into the cab. This intruder had a pistol in each hand, one of which was leveled upon the engineer and the other upon the fireman. He issued orders that the train be stopped, and the injunction was not disregarded. When the stop was made the men were ordered to leave the cab and speedily compiled. Hamilton and French were marched back to the express and baggage car, a combination coach, with a baggageman and an expressman In charge. Here the "robber ordered the express messenger to open the door of the car. Getting no reply to his repeated demands that the door be opened, the robber took from an inside pocket a small bundle, from which he managed to remove the wrapper, though still holding his pistols, showing Its contents to be dynamite. There were three sticks of the explosive, and one of these was used In forcing an opening In the car, the other two being carefully returned to his pocket Hamilton and French, whom he had permitted to step a few paces away, were then summoned to come closer and keep pace with him. He struck a match, but before It could be applied / : -t: ; * ~> -v< ' ?g r to the dynamite the wind extinguished It This was repeated three times coolly and with as much deliberation as though he were only lighting his pipe. Finally he managed to light the stick of dynamite, placing it about two inches from the door. The engineer and fireman, witnesses of this proceeding, attempted to move away, Out the pis- / tola came into play, with the command: "Now, Just yon wait, boys. Ton will have plenty of time to get out of the way." When the dynamite exploded the car door was shattered, and at the opening appeared Hammei, the express messenger, and Simmonds, the bag* gageman, with hands raised. They were ordered to jump and so soon as i they alighted npon the ground were k "bunched" with tbe engineer and fireman. The robber's next move was to climb into the car. Then he called to the express messenger, commanding him to enter the car, saying, 1 want to use yon." He forced tbe messenger to . open the local safe, from which four 1 sacks, each containing gLOOO in siJ- * ver, were taken. These sacks were thrown out upon the ground, and then ( .the robber left tbe ear, compelling-the i engineer to place a sack of the money upoQ his shoulder. He intended to so take away all of them; but, finding one 1 ?f them alone weighed too much and ' his escape would be wholly impossible with all of them, he left the other ? three sacks lying npon the ground and coolly walked away. The next day after the robbery detectives searched the vicinity and in an adjoining cornfield found nearly 500 biiYW UUUtm duuyi u \J r ca ujc pi "mrm| j together with a tag marked "11,000, t Max 24." This tag was on the money bag taken from the express car. The money so recovered was taken to St Louis and turned over to the officials of the express company. There was also found an old valise containing the ] mask worn by the robber and a couple j of letters addressed to 8. A. Wilson. This gave the first clew to the possible identity of the robber. It was learned that Sam Wilson had been released from Jail in Waynesville only a day or two before the holdup and that a fel- s krw prisoner said that Wilson hadfs planned and was planning to rob a Frisco train at Richland. He answered the description of the lone robber, " which turned the attention of the offi- a cers to him, and search'for him was begun. j Wilson was released from the c Waynesville jail tinder bond. He was charged with felonious assault Just before his arrest on that charge it wua J made known to the officers at Richland c by one of the men who were asked to tako part in the Job that Wilson was E preparing to hold up a train there. It was only the weakening of one of the gang, who gave the plot away, that > prevented the attempt at carrying it ' out, the others all learning that they V..

Dynamite was to be used, Wilson having gone from Richland to Leb- " anon, it was afterward learned, to purchase it for that purpose. The train which was to be held op arrives at Richland at midnight It neither leaves ... nor takes express and consequently remains there but a few seconds. Wil- j son, who lounged about the depot a great deal, having once been In charge on the section there, was to send a telegram, being an operator, notifying WHEN THE DYNAMITE EXPLODED THE DOOB WAS SHATTERED. tbe express messenger to be In readiness to receive several coops of chickens when the train arrived, and when the messenger opened the door to receive the express Wilson and his accomplices were to make the raid. One of the gang gave it away, and the hold- t up was abandoned. Wilson, who was cleared on that charge, was being held r for felonions assault, having fired a fusillade into a farmer's bouse in order to draw him outside, when he was to be robbed, it being known that he had a large sum of money. Wilson'B father, j Frank M. Wilson, is a reputable farm- j er and by mortgaging his property se- j cured bond for bis son, who left his accustomed haunts, not to be heard of again until taken In charge on June 2, I less than a month after his holdup of the Missouri Pacific train, at the home of his father, and he admitted to the officers that he had committed the ? crime, fie first confided to his father his guilt and at the suggestion of his father sent word to the sheriff saying where he could be found and that he i desired to surrender.
