SUSPICION.
He Acknowledges that He Was
With Myers and Olsen, and
Took the Horses.

+ Yesterday at noon Captain Karcher and
officoc Farrell went to the William Tell
House in quest of one of the trio whom it
is alleged murdered John Lowell. As they
entered the bar-room they noticed man
with RECORD UNION in his hard, reading
an account of the murder. As soon as he
saw the officers he dropped the paper and
slipped out of the side door. They did
not know him to be the man they were
looking for, but his suspicious actions at
tracted their attention, and Farrell stepped
to the sidewalk, and called out, Hello,
Bill. want to see you" He stopped and
accompanied the officers to the City Prison.
He said his name was William Daggler
alias " Liverpool Bill" That he was work
ing at the Phoenix Flour-mill, and it was
his noon hour, and he had just finished
his dinner when arrested. When asked if
HE KNEW OLSEN AND MYERS,
He said he did. He became acquainted
with them on the Kloiz ranch, Just east of
the city, where he was once employed at
chopping wood. lie worked for man by
the name of Stein. When asked if he
went with Olsen and Myers to the Lowell
ranch, he SAID he did He said he had
known John Lowell quite while, and
knew also that Lowell was acquainted
with Olsen and Myers. He said they
started for the Lowell ranch in a spring
wagon drawn by one horse. They crossed
over the Twelfth-street bridge, and went
up over the grant. They were

Just before arriving at the Lowell place
they went into camp. Olsen and Myers
went off and left him to take care
OF the camp. They returned in
the evening TO the camp. One was driving
in the buggy and leading the mule, while
the other led the horses. They took six
head in all. This was just about dusk.
They Immediately broke camp and
TRAVELLED ALL NIGHT,
Arriving on the grant at o'clock P. NJ.
The next morning Myers took the two
black mares and came to town. They ar
rived on the grant on a Sunday morning.
" On Tuesday," he said, "Olsen and took
the other horses and went over to Wood
land, where We sold the brown mare. Not
finding customers we brought the balance
of the stock back TO Sacramento, where it
was sold at auction"
ClHCe tudl TINE OdPSlef says he ana
Olsen were employed for some weeks on
the steamer San Joaquin No. 3. The last
he saw of Olsen was some two weeks ago.
He has not seen Myers since the stock YVES
disposed of. Olsen and Myers claimed the
stock to be their property, and he was
given $50 for his ten days services. That
he says is all he knows of the matter
THE THREE MEN.
1t is said that Myers, Olsen and Daggler
at one time rented the Klotz place, and
after they had been there short time stole
about $3.50 worth of vinegar that was
stored in the cellar. They were detected
and Were forced to pay for the vinegar and
give up their lease in order to avoid prose
cution. They all knew John Lowell and
Myers, at least, must have known William
Lowell, who was on the police force when
he was arrested on a charge of embezzle-
ment. Ii therefore seems strange that he
dared to bring the horses to Sacramento
and sell them.
