Col. L C. Weir, Manager of the

Company, who has been here (in Chica

with the oapture of the Camming? gang,
started early this morning for Cincin
nati. Just before taking his departure
he said to the Etquirer correspondent:
"We've trot them all now. We've got
every last one directly or remotely con
nected with the express robbery. The
working up of the ease was one of the
shrewdest pieces of detective skill in
the history of this country. Bo thor
oughly has every point been covered
and so strong and convincing is the ev
idence that we are in possession of, that
when it is laid before Jim Cummicgs,
he'll knuckle right down and admit his
guilt; ; We haven't brought him face to
race with the evidence yet. There's no
hurry about that.'.

surrounding tho ancient Rock Creek
ohurch.
At 8:40 o'clock, tie large bell at the
cemetery beganto toll and the head of

funeral-air from the ar tilery band.

Weaver waa to have been a participant
in tho execution but he weakened. He

The others are only acoetsorieB after the

Do you believe messenger Pother-

Z believed him innocent all along until
the engineer: of tho Wabash train, which'
stood alongside of the 'Frisco train in
the Union Depot at ot. .Louis ; on the
night of the robbery, testified to having
seen Fotheringham help an unknown

Fotheringham in a bad light. The
question of Fotheringham's innooeneo

very impressive, burrounding the
easket stood tho members of theOabinet,
Senators and Representatives, army offi

heads, while in a low but distinct voice
the chaplain read the simple but
solemn service. When he had fin
ished the Rev. Dr. Newman
tepped forward and in an impressive
Manner' delivered the Lord's Prayer
and concluded with a bendietion. The
band began to play softly as the pall
bearers stepped forward and bore the
casket into the vault. The bumpeter
standing .at the entrance of tho tomb,
raised the instrument to his lips and
broke the dead silence with "Taps"
(the lights out.) The easket was then
uncovered and some of the dead sena

tra
ber named Jim uummings, who v
sociated with Quantrell's guerrill ' - :
James boys and other gangs of d s
adoes. The name was, therefore, famil
iar to Witrock, and I presume that when
he drifted into the same line of business
himself the name suggested itself to
him."
What sort of a follow is Witrock,
anyhow?"
"A bright man, as his letters at
test."
'Is it true that ho oomes of a good
family in Leavenworth, Kan. ?" ,
"It s entirely true. He comes of ex

"What sort of sand has ho got?"
'Oh, he's a dead game man. Let
me tell you an incident illustrating his

after the robbery, ho had all the booty

Washdiotok, D. 0., Deo. 31. A
bold robbery waa perpetrated at the
residenoe of Den Domingo Gana, Chil
ian minister, last night. The burglar
was T. B. Silva, a Brtailian, who had
formerly been employed as a servant in
the minister's household. About
month ago Silva was discharged under
suspicion and went to new xorx. Me
returned to this city'last night, entered
the home af his former employer, No.
2024 G street, and stole a sum of money
and $7,000 worth of jewelry and other
valuables. The police were promptly
notified and the thief was arrested this
morning while boarding a train for New
York. Toe valuables were recovered
road. Among the discharged employees
was W. W. Height. Haight had been
dismissed from the serviee some tints
.before for dishonesty ii pilfering valua
ble paek ages We had Jaight looked
up. We found that iiaight bad oecn
in Chfeago for some little time previous
to the robbery ; that he was very hard
a a 1
up, driving a launary are aoing any
thing oould get to do. During
the time he u in Chicago we learned
that he was very irtmete with a man
named Witrook, who kept Uttle coal
yard out in one of the suburbs . the
oitv. We found that just before Ca
robbery Haight had disappeared from
Ghioago and gone Wek.. Soon after
Haight's departure from Chicago, and
immediately following the express rob
bery, his wife, whom he had left behind
in straitened circumstances, suddenly
and mysteriously came in possession of
a big roll of money, and started for
Leavenworth, Kansas, to visit her moth
er. We put Ihat and that together;
one little clew led to another, and at last
we had the men dead to rights Haight
was the man that planned the job.
There's no doubt about it that Haight
and Fotheringham were acquainted
They were in the service together.
Whether any connection existed between
them in the robbery remains for the fu
ture to disclose."
"Have any cf the gang implicated
in this robbery bean mixed up in any
j)b of the kind heretofore?"
"Not as far as can be found out. It
vu certainly the first trick of tho kind
that Witrock ever turned."
"What, in your opinion, induced the
fellow to do snob, a desperate deed if it
