MORE ABOUT ST. CLAIR.
Did He Rob the Weiser Postoflice (the
Last Time, We Mean, or Was He
the Wounded Man, Who Could
Not Have Robbed It9

If the man who came to Weiser the
was the St. Clair condemned to death for
the murder of John Decker, it is not
probable that he was the robber. A man
who was nut as that man was would
hardly be in a mood or condition TO
commit Il robbery. The question of
whether or not that is the man who
murdered John Decker can be settled al
most to a certainty The murderer St
Clair, is tattooed all over the body and
arms. Dr. Numbers, who dressed the
wound of the man who arrived in Wciscr
the morning the postotice was robbed.
would know whether or not that man
was tattooed A knife is latooed over
the heart of Herman c. ST. Clair, and
the scar of wound shows above the
heart. The scar is very small, as if made
by small bullet. A report has been
circulated to the effect that Herman c.
st. Clair was the robber of the Weisei

him to death and "snaked' the car
