Suspicious Conduct of the Man Ar
rested in Washington State.
PORTLAND. Ore, Special Telegram,
The man supposed to be Silcott, arrest
ed at Toledo, Wash, is still in custody at
Chehalis. The sheriff is sure he has the
right man, and will telegraph for an accur-
ate description and photograph if one can
be had. Taking into consideration
the fact that he has given diff
ferent names, first e. E. Thayer,
then c. +. Shafer and that United Ststes
treasury department papers were found in
his possession, thecommunity is expressing
but little doubt as to his identity. He is
very anxious to get out and promised the
sheriff that he would not sue him if released
at once. He is getting very uneasy and tits
expected he will make a confession before
another day passes. The sheriff refuses all
overtures, as he is satisfied he has Silcott.
The prisoner claims to have lived on the
coast three years, but claims only one man,
resident of Seattle, can identify him.

the capture of Silcott, the deiaulting CASH
ier in Washington State. Some time ago
