wduM not give her judgment for any

BITTER ATTACK ON
AMERICAN
WOMAN
Stirling Divorce Suit Closes
With Prosecutor's Tirade
Against Defendant.
SCOTCH IDEA OF AMERICA
Solicitor-General, for Defense, Tells
Court How Women Act In the
United States and Says
Client Is Blameless.
EDINBURGH, Feb. 13. At the continu
ation of the hearing today of the Stirling
cross-suits for divorce, counsel for Mr.
Stirling addressed the court on the hus
band's suit, charging that his wife had
misconducted herself with Lord North
land. The lawyer laid great stress on the
intimate- acquaintance between Lord
Northland and Mrs. Stirling before her
marriage, when she was Elizabeth Taylor.
He said Mrs. Stirling's letters to Lord
Northland, after her husband's dis
coveries, clearly involved the admission
of improper relations and that she re
turned from America, not because she
suspected any wrongdoing between her
husband and Mrs. Atherton, but because
she could not live without Lord North
land. Replying on behalf of Mrs. Stirling,
Solicitor-General Ure pleaded that his
client had been a member of the thea
trical profession, whose standards of con
duct differed from those of conventional
society. She was also an American, he
continued, where the customs were not
the same as In Scotland; and where wo
men of the country went about with
men without chaperones, without even
the suggestion of anything verging on
impropriety.
Mr. Stirling, the solicitor-general said,
had undoubtedly encouraged Lord North
land's attentions' and had made no at
tempt to protect his wife's honor, with
the object of securing a divorce in order
that he might marry Mrs. Atherton, who
on her part had done all she could to
separate the Stirlings.
The solicitor-general admitted that Mrs.
Stirling had been injudicious, but he de
nied that she had been guilty of miscon
duct. Counsel Tor Lord Northland then made
an address, after which court adjourned.

REMARKABLE COINCIDENCE RE

Violent Attack by Editor of Free

NEW YORK, Feb. 13. (Special.) The
correspondent of the Times at Messina
writes: Today the most extraordinary
coincidence I ever heard of came to my
certain. knowledge, for the tale is so wild
I would not write it if I had "nfot the

times hears from ignorant and supersti

but even his word didn't carry convic
tion at first.
In a former letter I spoke of a paper
published for the first time the day be

The Future. This coincidence struck me
as sufficiently dramatic and pathetic,
without further details, but the rest of
the story is far more remarkable.

doubting or unbelieving, but opposed to

TRAIN ROBBERS
secure
nnrinn and Oriainal "Plan Exe-
cuted Near Denver at
s Early Morn.
ENGINE CREW SURPRISED
Within Eight Miles of Colorado Cap
ital and Two Miles of Army
Post Train Stopped and
Mallear Is Robbed.
DENVER, Feb. 13. That the hold-up
of the west-bound Denver & Rio Grande
passenger train, near Denver, at 3:15
this morning, was the work of three in-,
stead of two robbers and that the rob
bery of the mallear gave them a loot
of possibly 135,000, are indicated by the
investigation of the railroad and police
officials today. So far no tangible clew
to the identity or whereabouts of the
robbers has been found, but it seems
probable that the men came to Denver
and are now hiding in this city.
The exact amount secured by the rob
bers cannot be ascertained. .It is known,
however, that the registered mailsack
from Colorado Springs to Denver was
empty and that little of value was in
.the Pueblo-Denver sack. The sack from
Portland, Colo., to Denver, however, con
tained $400 of money order funds con
signed to the Denver postofflce.
Eighteen packages of registered mail
were secured. These include five from
Salt Lake, addressed to Greeley, Colo.;
Georgetown, Colo.; Waco, Tex.; Whlte
wright, Tex., and Denver; , one from
Pueblo to Denver; one from Colorado
Springs to Denver; one from Taylor,
Wash., to Steamboat Springs. Colo.; one
from Winfleld, Wash., to Sterling, Colo.;
one from Leadvllle to Denver and others
from Glenwood Springs and other Colo
rado towns. Ono of these packages is
said to have contained a large sum of
money, but until a thorough checking up
of the missing packages is possible the
exact amount secured by the fobbers
cannot be ascertained.
Robbers Show Originality.
The robbery was remarkable for Its
originality and daring. It took place
within eight miles of Denver, within less
than two miles of Fort Logan, the United
States military reservation, and at a
spot where habitations are plentiful. Yet
so thorough was the work of the robbers
and so well were their plans laid that
they had fully an hour and a half start
of the officers.
Search of the vicinity of the hold-up
Indicates that a third man and possibly
a. fourth were engaged in the robbery;
that a rubber-tired buggy was In wait
ing for the actual holdups and that tor
pedoes and red signal fires were used un
successfully in an attempt to stop the
train before the automatic revolvers of
the two men on the train were used in
doing this. ,
From the manner in which the hold-up
was accomplished It is thought to be
possible that the robbers are the ones
responsible for the hold-up of the Den
ver & Rio Grande train lr.st May, when
Express Messenger Wright was killed.
That the robbers were thoroughly fa
miliar with the railway postal business
seemed evident, as the men in the mail
car threw aside package after package
after examining them carefully. A care
ful search for the bandits is being made
In Denver, as the robbery took place only
sight miles distant from the heart of the
city.
Gun Against Engineer's Cheek.
The train, which was several hours be
hind time, was running at a speed of
nearly 40 miles an hour, when suddenly
Engineer Gunn heard a voice behind him.
Looking around him, he found the muz
zle of an automatic pistol poked into
his face.
Fireman Lessig also found one within
two Inches of his cheek.
"Slam on the air and stop this train,"
came the order. "Be quick about it or
we'll blow out your brains."
This came from the robber attending
the engineer. He was a heavy-set man
with red hair and wearing a red sweater
the collar of which was pulled up over
ihe lower part of his face, and his pistol
was Jammed against Engineer Gunn's face
as the latter hesitated a moment. The
train was brought to a sudden stop with
in a short distance of the little station,
which was closed for the night.
"Now. you fellows get off this engine
as quick as you can.'' commanded the
red-haired robber. "Don't run or make
trouble. If you do, this automatic will
do business."
Gunn and Lessig obeyed with alacrity.
Covered by the hold-ups, they were
marched to the mallear, next to the en
glne.
Forced to Open Mallear.
"Call to the fellows in the mallear and
tell them to open the door and you tell
them not -to shoot, too," again command
ed the red-haired man. Engineer Gunn
did so. The mallear door was opened; an
instant later the stillness of the night was
broken by a fusillade of shots, tired by
the holdups in all directions. If any pas
sengers had intended to come out to f
