IS KILLED BY
CHICAGO, May 14 (by Associated
Press).—A squad of police last night
cornered and killed a train robber who
had robbed the railway mail car on
the Illinois Central railroad of $100,000
and killed a policeman who attempted
to stop him as he left the train here
after riding from Kankakee.
Today the dead bandit was identi
fied as Horace Walton, aged 22 years,
a high school graduate from St.
Joseph, Mo.
Walton posed as a postal inspector
to gain admission to the mail car. He
compelled the mail clerk to tie the
hands of the others in the car, and
apparently knew of the big money
shipment.
Leaving the train at South Chicago,
the bandit took refuge in an apart
ment house after shooting the officer.
Rifle squads surrounded and bom
barded the robber for an hour, until
he fell. One policeman was wounded.
