Later in the light the following te1e-

Kansas City, Dec. l5-Shertff Mo

Chief Of Police Speers a description Of
Charles, Gamblers, saying that he had
been seen IN Kansas City. The police
made o thorough search, but were unable
to find any traces OF him. Monday Chief
Speers learned that Ganders and his
wife ware living in o boat which was
moored in the Kaw river, and in which
they made the trip Gown the Missouri
from Sioux City. He was employed as
d laborer IN Fowler's packing house,
and this afternoon Detective Greeley
arrested him ON West Ninth street. Gan
ders said his name wat Charles Brown;
admitted having been in Sioux City,
but q rigid examination by Chief Speers
was productive OF nc results. Detective
Greeley also brought Fritz Herring to
the central police station. He had lived
in Sioux City and knew the prisoner.
At first he related the came story as
Gander, bat was finally forced to admit
the truth. Gander refused to make o

An IMPORTANT WITNESS.
That Gander will prove . most i'm
poitant witness IN the Handbook Gas,

edge OF the crime, it can probably best
bs judged from the statement of OFT,
