some talk with him about buying a gun
and some ammunition as he intended 90
ing ont on t~heranchifhe could get a chance.
The next day, April II when Freund
Went into the store, he noticed that
things were in disorder. Some Of the
reviewers were out on the show cases and
ammunition boxes were scattered on the
floor. He soon discovered that one of
The window panes had been cut out by a
knife or some other instrument. He was
told by the mar who swept up for him in
the morning that the back door was shut
but not locked. He looked over his
stock, made a list Of what he had lost,
and gave the same to Mr.. Carr. He
identified the goods which were exhibited
IN court as belonging 10 the stock. There

various other things. The articles charged
IN the warrant TO have been taken were
alleged to have been of the value of S55.
The defendant was given permission to

elsewhere by him and he could prove it.
1. jeff Carr testified TO having obtained
the description of the goods lost BY Mr..
Fruend that he wrote letters to various
parties IN relation thereto, among others
Marshal Fee of Laramie City. He had
some conversation with Pelton after he
had been arrested in which the defendant
tacltly admitted some things in regard to
the stolen articles. b. III. Smalley testi-
he'd in regard to going to Laramie CITY
after the defendant and said that he stated
to him that he had obtained the articles
from two men whom he met in Pueblo
and afterwards in Denver and Cheyenne.
They wanted him to sell the goods on.
shares. The defendant then made his
statement under oath and related how he
had met two men in Laramie City and
they gave him the articles and wanted
him to sell them but if he got into trouble
not TO give them away. He met these
Two men in Pueblo, Denver and Cheyenne.
Pelton also swore that he never was in
Fruend store at all. At the conclusion
OF the testimony the court decided To bail
him in the sum of $500 for his appearance
at M In default of bail he was com
mitted to the County jail.
