Held at Spokane and Bozeman.
NEW FACTS DISCOVERED
Sullivan's Right Name Il Said to Be Dan
Lucey-A Deserter From the Army.
Mr.. Keogh Remembers the
Couple-s3oo Reward.

PioNe VI mucH importance. men sup
posed to be the suspected murderer
was arrested at two different points,
Spokane and Bo=eman. and one OF the
men may turn out TO be the man want
ed. What is said TO be the true iden-
tity of the murderer came to light, a
reward was offered for the capture Of
the murderer and some light was
thrown on a point of the case which
has hitherto been a mystery, how did
Regain and his murderer get to Silver
Bow canyon, where the hideous crime
was committed? This query is answer
ed by NJ. j.. Keogh, a saloon-keeper. at
Rocker. at least in part.
The most important of the develop
ments of the day were the arrests OF
two suspects. During yesterday after
noon two messages came to the sheriTs
office. One was from Chief of Police
Joel Warren of Spokane. II stated that
a man who answered the description
| of the murderer as sent out from here.
and who gave the name of John Sulli-
van, had been arrested there and the
request was made that an officer be
sent on to identify the man. The tele-
gram indicated that the suspect came
TO Spokane from the East. the descrip-
ton of his clothes and general appear
ance were correct, and he had the tell
tale scratches on his face, which the
murderer is supposed to have received
in the encounter which resulted in Re-
gan's death.
The telegram which came from Boze-
man was from the sheriff of Gallatin
county. 1t said a man who answered
in a general way the description of Sui
Ivan had been arrested and was being
held pending the arrival of an officer
from Butte. The description given does
not tally so we'll with that OF Sullivan
as the one coming from Spokane, but
the suspect had scratches on his face.
and as a precautionary measure. the
man would be held. The sheriff's Off
GERS propose to leave no stone unturn-
ed 10 capture the murderer and a depu-
~ sheriff left on last evenings train for
Bozeman and another goes to Spokane
by the Northern Pacific train this
morning.
1t is hardly possible the suspect ar
rested at Bozeman can be the right
man since 1t, seems pretty certain the
murderer did not turn east and get
past Butte with the officers all on the
aiert, nut 1t is considered highly prob
able the man arrested at Spokane is
the man wanted. since il appears equal
~ as certain the murderer went west
as II does that he did not go east. and
especially as the Spokane suspect gives |
the name of John Sullivan. the name
Whlch is now believed to be the one
Butte. III
city Detective Jerry Murphy Is an
thoFIty Tor the statement that the
true name OF the suspected murderer
Is not sullivan at all, but Dan Lucev.
ana that sullivan is but an assumed
name. Detective Murphy states that
ne mas authentic information that
Lucey is the suspected murderer's cor.
rect name, that he is a deserter from
the United states army and that he
was at one time a sailor. The name
OF sullivan is said to have been as
sumed TO avoid detection and return
10 the army. As Lucey, the man is l.
known as an all-round hard charac-
ter capable of any crime. Detective
left yesterday to Join I'm the
search for the murderer, having re-
ceived information that led him to be-
iheVe ne could locate the man between
Anaconda n Granite.
Information was received last even
ing which, for the first time, threw
llght on the mystery as to how
Regan and the murderer or murderers
went to Silver Bow canyon, where Re,
lie was taken. NJ. j.. Keogh. a
saloon keeper at Rocker, furnishes the
Information which may clear up the
on this point. and which an
does. II Keogh is correct in
statements, however, his story does
away with the theory that the murder
committed about 10 O'Clock AT
light. Keogh was in the CITY last
and stated to a Standard re-
porter that on the night of the Cd. a
nan he concluded was Regain after
the account of the murder in
he newspapers, came into his place
bout 10 O'Clock. The man bought a
slass Of beer and a pint Of whiskev.
fe inquired what time the next train
TO Anaconda, and Keogh replied
[ vas pretty nearly due. The man =
aid he was on his way 10 the Occur
fAlenes. The man went out. but re-
urned about 11:30 O'clock. after the
had gone. This time Regain. as
uming that ii was he, was accom- I

himself, and whom, Keogh says, an !
