HE CAME IN FROM DENVER
LAST EVENING.
After Leaving Salt Lake He Was In

Says He Will Meet His Accusers-
Talks About the Chazel Trunk

Indifferent to possible consequences,
genial Charles B. Glenn. the erstwhile
politician and attorney, returned last
evening to try the curative properties
of our Warm Springs, to meet his
accusers and perchance to be greeted
by old friends. "Curley" Glen, as he
was best known among his intimates.
left Salt Lake rather unceremoniously
about four years ago while he was
serving the city as clerk of the police
court After his departure he was
charged with appropriating to himself
fines and forfeitures to the amount OF
about $500. and for this little indlScre-
ton the grand jury found an indict-
ment against him. Most of the time he
has been absent has been passed by
him in Kansas and Chicago, but the
last few months he has been in Denver
al the while keeping well posted on
current local events.
STATES HIS REASONS FOR RE-
TURNING.
Mr. Glenn was interviewed last even
ing by a Herald reporter after he had
broken off conversation with ex-Mayor
Baskin. In reply to inquiries Mr..
Glenn said:
About six months ago injured my
knee in Chicago and the doctor pre-
seribed hot baths for a cure. I was
much benefited by this treatment but
concluded that a speedier cure would
come only through taking natural hot
water baths rather than the artificial.
SO I came here to get hot water
baths
How about that indictment that
was found against you" asked the re-
porter.
a'Oh, that was dismissed by Judge
Judd just before statehood; Judge
Powers was my attorney. Why? Be
cause they could not convict me-did
not have enough eVidence-that's why.
see? 1 like Salt Lake and if things
open out auspiciously I may conclude
TO stay here. My family are not with
me but may be viii join me here
later"
Mr.. Glenn did not care to be ques-
tioned further about his stewardship of
the police court cash account but en-
tertained his inquisitor with some Of

TELLS ABOUT THE CHAzEL CASE.
He related how he had been. retained
by the friends and relatives of Prof
essor Chazel, the Frenchman who was
supposed to have been murdered here
and whose body was picked and
shipped to Chicago, to restrain the
relatives of one Albert Pike from dis
posing of the remains until proof
could be offered as to the identity of
the body as that OF the Frenehman-
The fact was that it was impossible to
identify the body as ChaZeFs or any
one else's. SO far had decomposition
gone, but the eoroner's jury having al
ready declared that it was Pixies body
and the injunction proceedings not be-
ing pressed to successful conclusion,

Pike relatives retain possession of the
corpse and inter it near their Ohio
home. The Pixies. Mr.. Glenn said, were
anxious by identification or judicial
determination to have the dead body
declared to be the remains Of Pike so
as to obtain insurance money and set
tie up his estate. The Chicago French
men We're equally DESTROYS OF obtaining
a like decree to fit their purposes SO
that ChaZePs money and jewels now in
the Deseret bank in this city would be-
come the property of his kinfol6s-
Attorney Glenn also stated that in
his opinion, from experience, no person
need be convicted of any crime in
Chicago. except murder, if he could
raise $500 for the purpose Of corrupting
officials
MCALLUM NOT IN DENVER.
Speaking of the old Salt Lakers he
met in Denver Mr.. Glenn said he was
sure Harry McCallum was not there,
as had been reported. At any rate if
McCaIlum had been there he would
surely have seen his old friend and
boon companion
Mr.. Glenn looks but little the worse
for his prolonged stay in other places.

that he no longer wears his handsome

springy step and one would hardly
