Three automobiles, loaded with 30
deputy Bheriffs, armed with sawed off
shotguns, dispatched from Los An

practically every constable and deputy
sheriff within a radius of 40 miles of
the scene of ' the holdup.

from au electric car in the San Fer

10:20. One: robber was armed with a
shotgun, the otlter with a revolver.
' -'The robbers worked through the
observation car and diner, through two
day coaches and half of another. One
robber told me to be sure to stop the
train at Burbank Junction and to be
sure and ' not -go ,, by the crossover
switches there, iie threatened to kill
me if I did so.
"The -train slowed down at Raymer.
. I- asked I the robber who had me
covered, for permission for the brake
rr.an... who also was covered, to give
a signal to proceed, and he followed
us out to see the signal given,
"Before reaching Hewitt, however,
the , robbers told me they would get
Off. at Hewitt, as they were worried
about. the train stopping so much. I
halted the train forthwith and the
men t alighted. As they did so, two
men 'from the head end of the coach'
we were in shot ten times at the rob
bers, .who replied with a revolver and a
shotgun. , i i
, "As the robbers got off at" Hewitt
a negro porter got a eawed off shot
gun from the Wells-Fargo man, and.
accompanied by a Southern Pacific em
ploye named Ewing, who got on at

saw a canoe go so fast before, llts
just doubled up in a knot, and he wsj
