were alone implicated in the robbery. Now his
only thought appears to be TO save himself from
the penitentiary, no matter who else gees there.
When PosT-lSTELLIGESCER reporter arrived

the purpose OF seeing Chandler, and called at
sullivans office early this morning 10 see Chand-
Ier sullivan had gone 10 Seattle, and the
reporter was met by George f. Ives, chief of the

To Tacoma 1t being evident that Chandler conld
not be seen while under espionage by Sullivan's
men, the reporter set to work to get him into
the custody OF the officers o. Multnomah
county. Accordingly a writ OF habeas corpus
was applied Tor In department l. of the circuit
court, Judge shattuck presiding. 1t being out
OF the question to get Chambers signature to
a petition for the writ, the reporter made the
its purpose to be to get Chandler out of the Gus
tody OF private detectives and into the hands of
the proper officers.
As soon as the writ served on Ives he
commented proceedings to hold his man. He
caused Deputy Sheriff Clvake of Pierce county
who arrived here today to take Chandler hack

procure IL warrant for his arrest. This Deputy
Croake secured from Justice Wood, Chandler
being charged with being fugitive from justice

After Chandler had been subjected to the
most thorough search prisoner can undergo
he was placed in the corridor of the iail and n
reporter was allowed TO see him. Chandler was

wide difference in the looks of the
prisoner and the description of him
