D. Smith, KC, said last night. Gibbs was brought here from Windsor yesterday afternoon for arraignment before Magistrate S. B. Arnold. He was not asked to plead, and was remanded until October 11. In the event of his pleading guilty, he will likely be sent before County Judge J. G. Kerr for sentence, and no time will be lost in meting out the punishment, i The formal charge against Gibbs alleges that he "did rob, while armed, His Majesty's mail car on train No, 11, Canadian National Railways, of $6,500 in currency, and two unopened packages of money." The charge was preferred by' W. J. May, district superintendent of postal services. "John Gibbs," the Magistrate quer- jed 'when he appeared in court "That's OK. with me," Gibbs said, The daring bandit was brought to Chatham from Windsor by motor car, He sat in the rear seat man- acled to Inspector Moss of the pro- vincial police, and Provincial Con- stable McGetrick. He slept in a cell during the few hours which elapsed after arrival here and his arraign- ment. It was learned that he had had nothing to cat, and officers ar- ranged to get him a meal at once.

He declined the offer of a cigarctte, stating that he does not smoke, Doors of the police station were locked, and officers took positions at cach while Gibbs was being led from the call to the courtroom, an officer gripped him . firmly the while, and four others stood ready for emergen- cies, ' ; Being held here as a material wit- ness is Ernest Lusby, who was de- tained on suspicion carly during the man hunt Tuesday night, Lusby was at the CN.R. station when police went there immediately after being notified of the hold-up, Lusby told of four suspicious char acters loitering about the station just prior to the arrival of the westbound train in Chatham, and it was that which led officers to believe the rob- bery was the work of an organized ang. Be heir belief in this respect was doubled when Lusby further said that yesterday afternoon he saw Bill Pyin in Chatham, the man wanted in connection with the mail robbery in Toronto, Lusby further clamed to have seen Gibbs at the station here just prior to the departure of the ri N bam Acted Alone Windsor, Oct, 4.--When John Gibbs, Los Angeles youth, climbed aboard the Canadian National mail car near Chatham and took from it about twenty thousand dollars, he acted alone, This was the gen- eral opinion of police officials to- day who scouted the theory that any gang. was connected with the holdup and possibly with two pre- vious robberies in the province, Provincial Inspector Moss said to- day that no further search will be made by him for persons who might be 'involved unless other clues develop. He is satisfied Gibbs was solely responsible. "It Gibbs had had accomplices he probably would not have been in such a hurry to get across the river," said Inspector Moss. ""Cer- tainly he would not have had that money on him when captured. That would have been passed to an ac- complice if there was any."
