Youthful Robbers Confess to Holding

Great Falls, Mont., June 2. The

complete confession to the police. The

up was planned and carried out under
the generalship of Hatch, the young
est of the' four., who is said to have
turned the switch, ordered the engi
neer to back up and to have gone
through the passenger coaches with
the conductor, forcing the latter at
the point of a gun to collect from the
passengers. According to the other
boys, it was also Hatch who shot
William Pempsey and narrowly
missed shooting Conductor Jack
Hayes.
Rheams stated that Hatch, after
they had left the scene of the hold
up, proposed that they cross Sun
river to the Montana Central line and
