Detective MeilSlejohn returned last

who were arrested in Butte February
for having counterfeiting tools and
counterfeiting coins i'm their possession.
At the last minute the prisoners
changed their plea to guilty and asked
for a light sentence. They both ad-
dressed the judge and stated that they
arrived in Butte in the winter and
were unable to procure work and told
a story that was calculated to arouse
sympathy. They denied the ownership
of the counterfeiting tools and the boz
gus money although they were found
in the cabin occupied by them. Meikle-
john was called on for a statement of
the case and told of the finding Of the
tools and two counterfeit dollars In the
cabin occupied by Corryell and Cur
rington. After listening TO these state
ments Judge knowles sentenced the
prisoners to one each in the peniten-
tiary.
Coryell is one of the fellows who stole
several thousand dollars worth Of bull
lion from the Anaconda smelter a
couple of years ago. After being re-
leased for this, he and burlington
came to Butte and enticed Martin
Brown another ex-convict into their
cave. doped him and robbed him OF $50.
When their cabin was searched coun-
terfeiting tools were found concealed
in IL.

NUMBERS PLIOHT.
His Anaconda Friends Hope to See Him
Acquitted.

Acquitted.
The friends of Charlie Humber, or
Texas as he is known by most of
them. are. deeply exercised by his I'M
fortunate plight in the clutches of Ida
no officers on a charge of the murder
of the Pooatello police officer on
April 8.
There is not the slightest possibility
OF the mans guilt, for he worked in
this city at the Tuttle Manufacturing
& supply company's boiler shops on
the very day the murder was commit
ted, and his time card signed by HIM
self is in the Office of the company.
II other testimony was needed the
books of r. A. Finley show that on
April 8 Humber purchased cigars in
Finley's store.
Humber was arrested by the sleuths
and was released, but the Idaho people
were not satisfied and wanted him
again. This time they found him work
ing in the Rock Creek country and be-
fore any news OF the arrest was known
in this city the prisoner was on his
way TO Pocatello.
Humber did not resist arrest but told
the officers he was innocent and felt
confident he could prove his innocence,
as he might have easily done in Ana
conda. He went without requisition
papers to Idaho and now that he is
there among strangers nnds his inno-
cence difficult to prove. A fellow
named Seals swears he saw Humber
strike Scanlon and another man; that
he recognizes his voice as one of the
men on the depot platform.
Numbers attorney. Ferguson, has
written asking his Anaconda friends
20 come TO Pocatello to his relief, but
this would be a most expensive under
taking which they cannot afford. If
subpoenas are sent, however. or IL de-
positions will receive attention a dozen
or 20 witnesses can be found to prove
that Humber was in Anaconda the
night Seals says he saw him kill Scan
lon in Pocatello.
These facts have been telegrap hed to
the officers in Idaho. but for reasons
best known to themselves they have
paid no attention TO the information by
reply in any way. The case has been
continued till Monday and IL is hoped
by that time that measures will be
reached which will be given attention
by the Hawkshaws and Nick Carriers OF
Pocatello.
The general opinion here is that the
Idaho taxpayers are being beautifully
worked by mileage fiends and fellows
who for the sake OF the few hundred
dollars reward would hang an innocent
man. A little honest investigation
would have proved very early in the
chase for Humber that they were on
the wrong scent; but lodging every
thing of that kind they have gone on
piling up expense which promises to go
higher before the proper authorities get
their ewes opened.
