the Robbers.
STRONG EVIDENCE IN RESERVE
Claims of the Prosecution That 1t
Can Prove the Prisoners
Completely.

MARYSVILLE. CAL, Nov. s.-The
prosecution in the Brady trial claims to
have strong evidence in reserve which will
put the neck of that adventurous young
outlaw in dangerous proximity to the
hangman's moose. 1t is but necessary to
prove Brady's presence at the train rob-
berry and Sheriff Bogard's murder will be
fastened upon him as an accompllce. 1t
Is not necessary TO show that he fired the
shot that ended the Sheriff's life. The
testimony to-day frightened the coils con-
siderably. The close intimacy existing
between Brady and the big robber who
was killed on the train was shown, and the
fact that they arrived in Marysvllle to-
gether and left on the afternoon before the
robbery was also proved.
John Peters of Siskiyou County, who
was passenger on the train on the night
OF the robbery, was the first witness ex-
amined this morning. He stated that he
watched the smaller robbers feet very
closely with the hope of subsequently hav
ing an opportunity of identifying him IN
that way He thought Brady's feet about
filled the bill"
Coroner Bevan testified to having taken
charge OF the bodies of Sheriff Bogard and
Sam Mcguire, alias Browning, on the ar
rival OF the train in Marysville. He iden-
titled Bogard' ivory-handled revolver and
cartridge belt He also identified the
mask, false whiskers, slip overalls, over
shoes ard the two revolvers belonging to
the dead robber; the leg of one overall
used as a sack to hold the valuables and
the bullet removed from the bandits body.
DR.. David Powell testified as to the au-
topsy on the bodies, the location of the
wounds and the cause OF death.
Mrs. Christina Herrick stated that she
was acquainted with Brady, who was
known to her as Jack" Mcguire. She
had known the dead robber, who also went
by the name OF Mcguire, and had often
seen the two together in 1893 and 1894,
when they were working for John Barrie.
She vas shown a tintYpe likeness of two
men taken together in bicycle costume,
and said it was good picture of Sam Ma
guire, but she thought it made Jack
Mcguire appear larger than he was
William Ahern, a detective for the
Southern Pacific Company, told of finding
n mask near the scene OF the hold-up, and
the discovery Of bicycle tracks on roads in
the vicinity. T. J. Ostrom and George
Ostrom reported the finding of the bicycle
under the bridge near the location OF the
robbery.
August Teavie of the Cleveland Bicycle
Company at San Francisco testified to the
big robber having rented wheel No. 1896
at his place on March %, a week before the
hold-up. He had not seen man nor wheel
since. He was also acquainted with Brady,
and thought he looked much heavier than
when he last saw him. f. J. Walker, for
merry OF Perkins & Walker, San Francisco,
identified the wheel found under the
bridge as having been rented by Brady on
March "a
y. Schever, hotel-keeper, told of Brady
stopping at his house in this city for two
days previous to the robbery. He left on
Friday, March %, and the hold-up took
place on the following morning. He saw
Brady and Mcguire in conversation to-
gether. B. Mehle proprietor OF the Golden
Eagle Hotel testified that the big robber
had stopped at his place for two days prior
to the robbery, and left on March %.
J. f. Barrie farmer of West Bear River,
testified that Brady and the robber after
ward killed had worked for him from Octo-
Der, 1888. to February, 1894. They were
known as the Mcguire boys, and he took
them 10 be brothers.
