IN COLD BLOOD.
The Awful Deed of a Lone
Highwayman.
DETECTIVE HUME'S OPINION.
Wells-Fargo's Special Agents Rea-
sons for Thinking Ex=Convict J.
Marshall Killed Mike Tovey.

Yesterday morning Special Agent Hume
returned from Amador County, where he
had gone to investigate the circumstances
connected with the killing of Michael
Tovey, the express messenger. Hume is
satisfied that the murder was committed
by John Marshall, an ex-convict, who was
released from San Quentin last April upon
the expiration of sentence for q stage
robbery committed in Sierra County in
1888.
What was the object in shooting
Tovey ?" asked a CALL reporter of Cap
tain Hume.
Robbery, SIR" said the famous detec-
tive; robbery pure and simple. The
criminal who did the deed is depraved and
vicious beyond comparison. He is also
determined and man of nerve" and then
the noted catcher of highwaymen ex-
pressed his opinion of the murderer of
Toyey in language forcible in the extreme.
sit was about o'clock on the afternoon
of June To-, continued the special agent,
after he had delivered characteristic

opinion of the slayer of the messenger.
The would-be robber secreted himself
behind a stone wall. A buckeye tree
afforded him some additional security.
About go yards distant across the road
four labOrers were al work in a field. The
hghwayman, crouching behind the stone
wall, evidently did not see them. just as
the stage came opposite the buckeye tree
it came within eyesight of the field-hands.
They turned to see it and were Mortified 10
see man raise from behind the wall ana
commence firing at the stage. The first
| bullet struck Tovey. The spirited team
| started at galloD and as the stage passed
the assassin he fired again. This time the
bullet passed through the body Of Tovey,
who was already dead or dying
The next shot struck a horse on the
swing and a fourth shot struck wheel
horse. During the shooting a Chinese
peddler drove down the road. The
wounded team halted short distance up
| the road. The field-hands ran to the stage
and held the horses. At this juncture two
men in buggy drove up to the scene. and
also young man in cart. Tovey was
| laid on the ground and found TO be dead.
His shotgun had dropped from the stage
after he was shot, and one of the men from
the stage walked back to get it. He picked
| il up and saw the murdere still standing
| by the buckeye tree. The fellow coolly
raised his Winchester partly to his shoul-
der. as if challenging the man in the road
| to fight. The challenge was not accepted.
After watching the party about the stage
| for ten minutes or more, as If celebrating
| whether or not to venture an attack, the
desperate quietly walked away. He
! glanced over his shoulder occasionally
ana was in sight for 500 yards"
The special agent paused for a moment,
again expressed his opinions concerning
| the nervy baudid and continued: This is
the boidest and most daring piece of work
| that has ever come to my knowledge. The
man who did this shooting is the most
notable criminal of the hundreds that we
have had to deal with. He is STEPPED
in crime; he is hardened, depraved
and devoid of all human feelings
he is bold. fearless and nervy. There are
few men In the entire country who could
perpetrate such an act. His motive was
undoubtedly robbery. / think John Mar
shall did the bloody work. Not long since
he told Warden Aud of Folsom that he
| had been through the country adjacent to
the scene of the shooting He was not Up
there buying farms or instituting Sunday
