Holmes this morning to ten years each in the penitentiary. They were convicted Friday of robbing the store of W. W. Jones at Reading and robbing it of about $300 worth of merchandise. The sentence was seven years for burglary and three for grand larceny.

This afternoon Sheriff O'Connor took them to Lansing. Before the left "Dutch" confessed that he had helped rob the Jones store, and that he belonged to the same gang of which Estell was a prominent member. He said that for twelve years he had been blowing safes, and their gang was the best organized and most complete of any that ever operated in Kansas. He was the one that was sent by the gang to visit the penitentiary -and see Estell. Weber told O'Connor of a lot of deals the gang had been in, but the sheriff declined to make them public.

When the woman who claims to be Mrs. Weber was arrested in Osage City, a letter was discovered that seemed to indicate that Estell was their friend. The theory that they belonged to an organized gang was published. Weber's statement now corroborates this theory. Mrs.

Weber has been released. Little doubt remains that Weber and Holmes were the robbers of the Reading postof-fice, but the United States authorities will have to wait to try them until they have served their time in the penitentiary.
