Lees Expected to Return From
Marysville With an Impor-
tant Prisoner.
The INGLEsIDE HoLD-UP
A Train.Robber Who Is Thought to
Have Been the Small Man in
Long Ulster.

Captain Lees went to Marysville yester-
day to attend the trial of Henry Williams,
alias Brady, accused of the murder of
Sheriff Bogard during the train hold-up at
Marysville. Captain Lees didn't say much
about his trip before he left, but the chances
are that he will bring an important pris-
oner back with him-no less prisoner, in
| fact, than the supposed murderer of Stage
at the Ingleside House last March.
few people at detective headquarters
knew the nature of Captain Lees trip to
| Marysville, but these few are very close
| mouthed in the matter of official business,
else they would not have been intrusted
with the secret.
There is one contingency that may arise
to prevent Captain Lees returning with
the accused murderer of Stage, and that
is the conviction OF Brady on the charge of
murder, for which he is now being tried.
But the officials are not confident of
Brady's conviction on that charge and
there is general fearthat the evidence
may not be strong enough against him.
Hence Captain Lees hurried and almost
secret fight to Marysville, to be on hand
should the jury acquit Brady.
So long as there was thought to be a
good chance of Brady's conviction on the
murder charge at Marysville Captain Lees
held his peace and said nothing about the
conclusions that his investigations in the
case of the Ingleside hold-up and murder
are thought to have led him. But now
that there is a chance of Brady escaping
on the Marysville charge Captain Lees
means to satisfy himself that Brady does
not have an opportunity to get back to MS
old haunts until the San Francisco courts
are through with him.
If Brady is brought back here by Cap
tain Lees he will find himself confronted
in all probability, by more than one
charge, though he will be tried on the
murder charge first. Brady is not only
thought to be one OF the two men who are
responsible for the murder of Stage at the
Ingleside House but also one of the two
who, in November last year, and again in
February OF this year, perpetrated the dar-
ing robberies and hold-ups at the Cliff
House, in the latter of which Haggerty
was shot.
ALI three of these daring crimes are
supposed to have been the work OF the
same two men-Oscar Brown, alias Brown
ing, and Henry Williams, alias Brady-the
tall and the short man who upon all three
occasions wore long ulsters and masks and
rode bicycles. There were suspicious
bicycle tracks found after the Ingleside
murder, and the men who held up the
train at Marysville are supposed to have
escaped on bicycles-or at least one of
| them did. The other was shot and killed
| by the officers. He was Oscar Brown
After the Ingleside murder Captain Lees
had Brady's residence on Cough street, in
this City, searched. Bradys trunk was
found, and in it an album containing a
photograph of Browning and Brady on
bicycles. This photograph will doubtless
form one of the States strongest links ir
the Marysville case, since it tends strongly
to show Brady's connection with the dead
robber, Browning. Indeed it is true
that Captain Lees had double purpose
in going to Marysville. He will present
and identify this photograph taken from
Brady's trunk, and in other ways assist
the prosecution. And then, if the prose-
cution fails to make out case against
Brady strong enough 20 convince the jury
that he deserves hanging Mr.. Brady will
be brought back to San Francisco and
booked for murder and robbery. OF
course, the last is not certainty, but it is
considered very close guess by men who
ought to know all about the matter.
Captain Lees has remained all along
very reticent about the Ingleside murder,
but he has been working secretly and
quietly and persistently, and he is known
to have pretty clear idea in his head as
to who is the murderer of Stage. And
that Brady is this man there appears to
be every reason to believe. Brady is an
old acquaintance of Captain Lees and his
men. Some years ago the San Francisco
detectives captured Brady and his pal
Browning and sent them up to Amador
County, where they were convicted OF
horse stealing.
In Novemb Der last when the tall man and
short man began operations at the Cliff
House, Brady and Browning had just
come out of prison, worked together few
months on a ranch and then set up in
business in San Francisco. The chances
are very favorable for Brady not OUTLYING
