day evening charged with completely in the
robbery Of Noel Jubainville in a Galsna
street dive about three months ago, are
now confined in the county Jail awaiting
trial. Immediately following the robbery,
which occurred about the middle Of Sep
ember, Godeheaux and his wife disap-
peared from the local scene and have made
themselves exceedingly scarce in Butte ever
since until their arrest Thursday night.
Suspicion did not attach to them at the
time, as Jubainville laid the crime at the
door OF Marie Rigsl, q frail dansel whose
abode is in q den on Galena street, and
whom her accusef had arrested. After oc-
cupyinR apartments in the county jail for
several months waiting in vain for assist
ance from the outside, Marie broke silence,
admitted the robbery and charged that the
money had been given in charge OF God
cheaux, who froEe to it and Jour-
neyed hence, leaving the original Grim. /

penitentiary, stared her in the face. and
naturally reluctant to assume undivided |
responsibility for o crime OF which she be-
lieved Others equally guilty Marie recently
sent for the county attorney and made a
confession, alleging that Godchaux and
his wife had secured possession Of the
stolen money and vanished to the Occjdsnt

much needed mental recreation. The
flight Of Godcheaux and his better half oil /

The revelations claimed to have been a.
