The Fort Worth Register, o re
cut dat .' gives the /'Mowing nc
ouut of the trial of the two • »eit
irrestad in Mangum in S* i-amil er,
for the robbery of the post ofnee at
Children. Texas
"Th.it is the first verdict c > •> >t
guilty' I have heard in ne: !\ a
year a year 111 the I'nited S. u< s
court for the Northern district.' f
Texas." said District Attorney At
well yesterday evening when tin-
jury in the case of James Connor..
brought in a verdict of acquittal, j
"This was an interesting vise
and occupied the attention of the
court all day. September 20, last,
the jiostofiQce at Childress was bur-
glarized, the safe blown to pieces
with nitro glycerine, and govern- •
:nent property amounting to about
$Soo was taken. It was a neal job
as far as the robbery goes, but the
government property proved too
much as evidence against the rob-
ber, and lea to his detection and
a companion was also arrested. A
few days later at Mangum, Greer
county Oklahoma, the officers ar
ested Fred Henderson 'and James
Connors. They were together.
•iderson was found with the
to1, n property in a valise, and the
rO- it was the joint indictment of
ji.
"The cases were cnll^d for trial
yesterday, and Henderson pleaded
guilty. He had been arrested with
the stolen property in his posses-
sion and he did not see any reasons
,0 delay matters by making a fight,
so he admitted that he had done
the robbery. Connors pleaded not
guilty, and Henderson went ou the
stand as a witness. He told the
tory of the robbery, how they had
entered the postoffice, how the;
safe had been prepared for the fuse, j
the doors sealc 1 air tight with
soap, and nitro glycerine then |
j>oured on, and a fuse attached;
how the explosion was successful,
and his subsequent departure.
"He admitted that he had a con-
federate, or assistant, but said Con-
fers was not the man. He sepa-
rated from his partner after the rob-
bery, and went by foot and the
omrtesy of teamsters to Mangum,
rfe admitted that he met Conners
fifteen miles from Childress. On
his plea of guilty he was convicted.
"All day the court was occupied
with the testimony, there being a
iiumber of witnesses from Greer
county, including the sheriff of
that county. Several witnesses
from Childress were here, one of
whom was the postmaster, who
identified the property recovered.
Henderson insisted 011 the inno-i
cense of Connors, and Conners per-
sisted in his denial that he was
present. The government was un-
able to secure a conviction in his
case.
