Houghton, Mich., Jan. 26. A "no true bill" was reported on Saturday by the special grand jury which has been investigating the alleged kidnaping and forcible deportation of Charles II. Moyer and James Tanner, officials of the Western Federation of Miners, on the night of December 26. Mr. Nichols, special prosecutor, said he had explained to the jury that, in his opinion, the statute on kidnaping did not apply to the deportation of Mr. Moyer and Mr. Tanner because the union men were not forcibly sent out of the state, but were left to take their own course this side of the state line, and because there could be no possible

claim that there was any intent to confine them against their will within the state or hold them in service outside the state. Twenty-seven witnesses were examined in the Mover case and the jury deliberated over it for two days. The grand jury presentment signed by the special prosecutor said John MacNaughton, brother of the manager of the Calumet & Hecla company, was

present when Mr. Moyer was attackea.

Battle Creek, Mich.. Jan. 26 An unidentified man was arrested at Jack

Chicago, Jan. 26 Thrilling stories of how a lone bandit a slender, nervous young fellow with a big revolve. held up Michigan Central passenger train No. 7, west-bound, at 1:45 a. m. on Friday, near Jackson, Mich., robbing and terrifying passengers in one Pullman sleeper, among them several Chicagoans, were told in Chicago when the train arrived. The uniqueness of the robber's methods some of the members of the train crew thought them comic contiHiitoi larptlv tn his success, both

in the hold-up and in his escape. Although he aroused six drowsy passengers with the aid of a cowed porter, he succeeded in getting less than $00 in money. He shunned jewelry. At the same time, the bandit forced the Pullman porters into the limelight one in a serio-comic role and the other In the hero's garb. It was Louis" Thomba coolness and precision that prevented futher operations of the robber and caused him to leap from the train near Parma, Mich., while it was slowing down. In the country about Parma and in the city of Jackson the bandit is being hunted, according to press dispatches, by Sheriff J. F. Greble and a

well-armed posse. They say the fugitive cannot escape. The Michigan authorities believe the man returned to Jackson after escaping from the train. Three other men who are reported to have left the train when the robber jumped off are believed to be tramps

stealing a ride. The bandit's victims were: A. M. Todd, 1706 East Fifty-sixth street. Chicago, $135; Harry Marks. 74 Library avenue, Detroit, Mich., $110; F. D. Palmer. New York, $2.35; Philip J. Savage, Detroit, Mich., $3. In another car Cortland Cramp, president of the William Cramp & Sons' Shipbuilding company of Philadelphia, was sleeping soundly. He did not know how near he came to losing a fairly fat "roll" until several hours after the robber's visit. Herth 5, in which Mr. Marks was slumbering, was tackled first. The porter pulled the curtains aside. "Say, mister," the porter began, as

he shook the sleeping man, "here is a fellow who says he wants your

money." Marks rubbed his eyes and turned to gaze into the revolver leveled at his head. "Come across, old man," remarked the robber, crisply. "I need the dough." Marks looked for a moment, then he "shelled out." It is believed the robber boarded the train either at Jackson or Ann Arbor.
