In order to avoid possible trouble the train
stopped three blocks south Of the depot and
the murderer was taken off and loaded into
hack. A great crowd were standing
around the Jail. but no demonstration was
made. As soon as the party was driven up
to the Jail the door opened from the inside
and the prisoner was shot in as if a legion
of tends were at his heels. at first be
refused to say anything to the press repre-
sentatives, and did not know that his uncle
was dead until reporter told him.

slender. He has quick. nervous move
men,s, very long legs. short slim waist and a
small head. surrounding straight but mar
row shoulders, which is covered with black,

Byrne told Wilson about his killing man
in the East. He never had any serious
trouble in the States. 1t WAS the result Of

went 10 the formers ranch in Lake County.
Crews left Lake County and came to Will
sons on that account. Bryne came down
from Lake County four days before the
shooting. Mrs. Byrne had been at Wilson
several days, having come down with her
mother when ByTne arrived. Crews says
he seemed displeased to find him there.

talked the matter over on a log. Byrne got
up and put his hand in his his hip pocket
Crews claims that he was previously told
by Mrs. Byrne that her husband carried a
weapon and was liza ole to commit crime.
When Crews saw the movement he said to
his uncle, Don't do anything, Uncle Bad :;

hand" His uncle kept advancing on him
and he drew revolver, but did not know
at the time that Byrue had been HIT
