SACRAMENTO, August IA.
The Tullis MURDER Case Is assuming pro-
portions which are great, and circumstan-
ces are now brought to light which seem
to fasten the guilt where it belongs. 1t has
b en- developed that Troy Dye, the Public
Administrators, crossed the Freeport ferry
on the night of the murder at 9 O'Clock,
with two led horses. He went, as he adj
mits, to Merritt Island. The same night
two strange men crossed the river
in a skiff at the lower ferry. Troy Dye,
after thus crossing, was the next day seen
on the Sacramento side Of the river, going
down towards Grand Island also, on Sat
urday night, he was met going to the
Tullis ranch. Dye has charged that the
mysterious boat was built and launched
here on the morning Of the murder by An
derson, a Swede. Tonight the police cap
tured Anderson he denies that he ever
built a boat at Dyes. He never built but
one boat, and that was last February. In
a long interview the prisoner crossed him
self. and lied point blank frequently. He
said he had been at work in a thresher near
Nicolaus three weeks, and at last admitted
that he was in Sacramento on Au gust LIST,
I'd and Sd. The murder was committed
on August LIST. He then acco lnts for him
self by saying that he vas at home sick all
these days, except on the night of the I'd,
when he went to Dyes saloon and tried to
borrow SIS of him. It is fixed and GER
tain that Dye was not in town on Friday
night. Premier rode into town that night.
1t was dark, and being followed from the
Fifteen mile house, on the Marysville road,
by the Sheriff's officers, he rode at once to
Dyes saloon, and asked for Dye. The off
Ger saw him and ran to hin, but he put
spurs to his horse and rode by a ound-
about way to his house, where the officers
caught him. Tonight, in prison, he
utterly denied that he rode up to the saloon
and asked for Dye. 1t is believed that Dye
will make a full confession tomorrow.
The officers are in hot chase after the third
man in the murder. Clark, the partner of
Dye, who was under arrest, has been set
free.
