ened away. The lady afterwards
made an investigation and found
that Layne had not returned to his
hotel until after two o'clock that
night. She also found out that a

upon his finger is hers.
When Conway was interviewed by
FREE PRESS reporter several days
ago he was asked whether he had.ever
been in any trouble before or under
arrest. His reply was avasive and left
the impression that he had been in
trouble.
When Layne was first arrest
ed the statement was published
that he purchased stone of Fowler &
Pay, of this city, for use on his con-
tract work at Worthingtun and other
places. Mr.. Fowler states that he Sc
cured only one carload, and that was
by mistake and he is still owing for
it. The shipments were made to the
villages, and Layne did the work with
materials furnished by the villages.
Impey states that he was sent to
the reform school when ten years of
age, because he would not obey his
father and go to school. He was
there until he was fourteen years of
age, but is now over twenty, and
since coming out claims to have been
much trusted where he has worked.
Layne and Conway are said to be
somewhat respondent today,
According to Impey's statements
outside of his testimony, Layne stood
in the dark while the struggle be-
tween Conway and Walraven took
place, as Walraven knew him. He
says that Conway told him that after
Walraven struck him with the cane
he had to shoot him.
