The evening times., 1896-11-21

buckle, the wealthy Dcnverite, has been
receiving the utmost attention by the
detectives of this city ever since his body
was found on Thursday morning. They
have been spurred oil by the prominence OF
the dead man more than anything else.
The detectives have been devoting es-
pecial attention to tracing Arbu ckle's
movements from Fourteenth street to the
place where he was found. They have
been rather successful in their inquiry,
and Capt. O'Brien was able to announce
this morning that the movements of Mr..
ArbIckle had been traced up to O'Clock
on Thursday morning, which was only one
OF two hours before he was found uncon-
scious and dying.
ARBUCKLE USED THE IL"
Capt. O'Brien said he was preparing n
statement to give out regarding the re-
suits OF the detectives efforts He was
asked IL Mr.. Arbuckle had not gone up town
on the elevated road. He said he had.
This being true, ii adds credence to the the
ory that was started this morning around
police headquarters
This is that the unfortunate man was
robbed, if at all, at or near the terminus
of the elevated road at Eighth avenue and
West One Hundred and Fifty-fifth street
The new theory concerning the case is that
Mr.. Arbuckle got on the elevated train
alone and fen asleep. 1t is thought that
he rode 10 the terminus OF the road and
there was aroused by the guards
II is rather wild place at the terminus.
and spot where wcll-dresSed stranger
would readily attract attention from any
roughs lettering near. Being aroused from
sleep,Mr- Arbuckle would have been rather
dazed. and could have been easily robbed
without his knowledge and without caus-
ing him TO traise an alarm He may have
walked along in a stupefied way until he
fell where he was found.
The excitement of his nights travelling
around and the quantity of stimulants con-
sumed by him would certainly have had
bad effect upon his heart if 1t was not in
perfect condition, as has been claimed.
DRUGGING THEORY SECUTED.
The detectives are inclined to discredit
any drugsing theory. They explain their
discredence by sa ying that the manner in
which Arhuckie handled his money rendered
drugging unnecessary. He is said TO have
displa we'd his roll" in every saloon he
visited.
Now that the police have his movements
established up to an hour before the time
he was found dead the solution OF the case
should be simple and not much longer tie
layed. No further arrests were made this
morning.
The latest information in the hands of the
police regarding the case is that Mr.. Ar
buckle was seen on Thursday morning on
the north side platform Of the Forty-second
street elevated station He was very much
Intoxicated. and W as holding on to post,
swaying backward and for ward.
Ten minutes before that he was seen en-
tering Jimmy Wakeley's saloon on the
northeast corner OF Fort Use cond street and
Sixth avenue. He>w'as accompanied by a
cabman.
The police thinkit probable that 4 rbuckle
was driven by the cabman TO Wakeley's sa-
loon and that he was robbed on the ele-
waited station or on one of the L" trains.
The detectives are making a tour of the
elevated stations on the sixth and Ninth
avenue lines, north OF Fort y-second street.
and expect to get Information confirming
what they already have.
NOT MURDERED.
Acting Inspector Thompson sHfd this
morning: we have done wnat We Started
out to do, and that is to showt that Arbuckle
was Not murdered, and believe everyone
is now of that opinion. What we want to
do now is to find out where he was robbed
and by whom, and believe that we viii
do it, --,Fs
