Inside the second car,there were only five mailmen and 128 bags full of five-pound notes. This train had run more than 100 years without being robbed. At three minutes past three, Mills and his helper,David Whitby,saw a yellow warning light. They slowed the train,and then stopped. Whitby went to the telephone beside the track,it was out of order. Then he saw a man moving between the second and third cars. Before Whitby could give a warning ? he was knocked down by two men. Mills was ordered to drive the train to a bridge that crossed a road. The last eleven cars with all the mailmen had been disconnected by the robbers. At the bridge,the bags of money were unloaded(卸下)from the train and thrown into waiting trucks. One of the robbers who obviously knew the schedules (时间表) of all the trains kept looking at his watch. At 3:45 he said,"That will have to be enough.
