St. Paul, Minn., Oct 17.—The capture of the bandits who held np the Great Northern Overland express at Wagner, Mont., July 8, securing $43,000 In bank notes, officials of the Great Northern Express company say, has been seriously delayed by the announcement of the capture at Nashville of Annie Rogers, alias Maude Williams, supposed to be connected with the gang. Before her arreet the Pinkerton agency and police officers had laid plans which seemed to a speedy capture of the robbers. President and General Manager Elliott, of the express company, said yesterday: “This woman, according to my advices, was In communication with one of the robbers at New OrIrans. When that man rend the account of her capture In this morning's papers he probably disappeared at once. If her arrest had not been made public we would probably have secured him, and pernaps the rest of the men.”
