Mr* Fr*d Peffenbarger, mother of Fred Poffenbarger, Jr., who Was re arrested a few daya ago on his release from the federal penitentiary and Is held In Kansas City, Kan., for fur ther Investigation In connection with the Council Bluffs mall robbery of 1920, declared Saturday that she knows her son and his companions have no hidden loot, "It is ridiculous to believe that they have any of those bonds or things hidden away," she said. "If they had. do you think we'd be living aa we are?" She and three children and her husband, who was released from pris on last August, live In a small shack at 1414 South Thirteenth street, Coun ell Bluffs. Poffenbarger, sr., earns a little by doing odd Jobs. "When my boy Is released some body will have to buy him aome clothes and get him a Job," she con tinued. "We had to depend on the county while they were In prison.” Asked where her son got money to pay attorneys who are defending him, Mrs. Poffenbarger aald she did not know. Bond Cache Denied. Kansas City, Ivan., Dec. 12.—Two youths sat in their cells at the county Jail here tonight and told of their part in one of Amerlca'a most sensa tional mail robberies. Calmly they recounted their ac tions orT the night of November 13, 1920. when they robbed the fast Bur lington mall train as It passed through Council Bluffs. "They Just want to ride us," Col lins declared. "They know that we are broke now and can't fight this Indictment. They think that they will Just keep us in Jail from now on out. "We didn't hide any of those bonds. We thought that they were no good ami destroyed them all. I dumped one suitcase full Into the Missouri river. I stood on the Douglas street bridge and watched the suitcase sink Into the muddy water and 1 know where it went and that It won't be found again. "Kvery bond that we stole we de stroyed. They got back about $50,000 in cash. What more do they want? If I could have given them those bonds when I was arrested, I would have done it because I wanted to get off as easy as X could." Court attaches declare that, at the time of his conviction, Collins an nounced thaj he did not care whether he went to jail or not because he would be a rich man when he got out. They believe that he referred to the lost Isinds and a belief that he would be able to cash them once he. gained his liberty. Poffenbarger had forgotten part of the story which he told at the time of his conviction. He declared then that he had emptied the mail sacks before burning the bonds. He even showed the officers where the sacks were hidden so that they might be recov ered. Now he says that he burned sacks and all and adds that he has no Idea what the bonds were like because he never opened the sacks td leek at them. From talking of the robbery the youths switched to the subject of the principals. They told who had been arrested and declared tljat four of the men sentenced for complicity In the robbery had nothing to do with It at all. One of these men, they said. worried about hi* conviction *o much that he died In the penitentiary. Both hoy* will be taken back to Council Bluff* to stand trial.
