or the murder in company with Judge
was arrested yesterday morninf
through neat bit of strategy, and 1.
now safely locked up in the county iail
through Information given Mr.. Nickel
gonn oy a woman who Is confined in
jail IL was learned that Campbell had
peen working at the High ore mine
ana that he had some wages coming 70
hlm 1t was suspected that he would
attempt to get the money due him. and
the detective made arrangements with
the paying officer of the mine to detain
any one who might call for CampbeIls
time until an officer could arrive
] ~ was hardly supposed that Camp
pell would personally call for his money
ana he therefore created a little sur
prise when he put in an appearance at
CLOCK yesterday morning and asked
| LOT ms time. For the purpose of delay
ing him, he was given an order on Pat
Mullins, which he accepted without
suspicion. The police were then noti-
ned by telephone and Detective Nickel
| John and Officers Kohl and Anderson
| went 10 Mullins store and waited for
| campbell, who soon appeared and was
put under arrest. He offered no resist
ance, and Mr.. Meikeljohn took him to
| Jail. ~
Campbell refused to talk about the
| murder and all he would say was that
ne knew the officers were looking for
MN and that he was not to blame for
the murder. 1T is all a mistake" he
said several times on the way to Jail
There is no doubt whatever that Camp-
Deli is the man who was seen running
with Judge in his shirt sleeves, for the
coat and vest left behind were of the
same piece of goods and the same suit
as the pants worn by Campbell. He was
compelled to take off the pants and the
o1ncers are now in possession of the
Whole suit A hat and a bottle of whis-
Key which were dropped by one of the
neeing men who ran through a barbed
wfre fence have also been Identified as
the property of Campbell. The bottle /
OF whiskey was purchased by him the 4
day previous at Mullins place and was /
identified as the same bottle.
The police succeeded in unearthing a |
great deal concerning the past history
or both Judge and Campbell, and facts
nave been brought to light to prove
that the latter at least is a hard char
acter and that he Is credited with 9TH
er murders His right name is Edward
