Bold Express Robbery on St Louis Train Nets Heavy Cash Grab
In St Louis on Oct 26 a robber using a forged letter posing as a new rider tricked messenger Fotheringham aboard an Adams express car on the St Louis and San Francisco line.

The robber, about six feet tall, 200 pounds, wore a dark overcoat and hid a revolver on his person as the train reached Pacific and Union stations.
