When I was arrested I had the gold in my boot leg, and it was not found when I was searched. “How much of a haul did you make?” Hines was asked. “I won’t tell that.” Yesterday Buck Galbraith, jailer here, re- ceived a letter from Von Heine, the ex-soldier who was in jail here with Charley Small, stating that it is none other than that notorious and dangerous individual who led the robbers in their bold undertaking. Hutchinson, a cripple, is supposed to be another companion of Small’s that hung around in the Burros a long time during the early part of the fall and winter. Johnny Bell, who left this section of the country for Mexico with Small, is thought to be another of the gang. This country is well rid of a very hard gang of desperadoes in this trio, and there seems to be no doubt in the minds of the officers that they are the men. Von Heine writes that they will all be shot within a month, as the Mexican laws make it a death penalty to rob a train in that country. So this settles Charley Small and his villainous gang forever.
