must have been thrown in the stream
about the time the water commenced 10
go down, and by the time the body had
traversed the distance from the place
where it was thrown in to where IL was
found the water had become too low TO
carry 1t further. Jacques said the wat
er began receding at about 10 o'clock
n went down so rapidly that within
a space of a very few minutes il was at
Its normal stage. 1t is learned that in
stead OF its being 6 o'clock when Regain
left the house of his brother i'm mpa
with Sullivan, as stated yesterday, IL
was $50, and if this is correct and
Jacques is right about the water. the
idea that the men walked from Butte
is disposed of.
On Friday afternoon shortly after the
copper City Limited left Butte two
men approached the ticket window at
the b., A. q =. station and asked Agent
j. w. Naugle If the Missoula train had
gone. The description Mr.. Naugle gives
OF one of them fits Sullivan in some par
tlculars. Detective Murphy. on learn
ing this, went to the Montana Union
depot yesterday and learned that a man
purchased two tickets for Missoula at
8 O'Clock Saturday morning for the
westbound Northern Pacific train which
leaves at 3:f5. Ii was Detective Muir
phys theory that the men left on that
train and that Sullivan inveigled Regain
TO get on at Silver Bow to get a drink
or under some other pretext. and pur-
posely let the train pull out without
them, then suggesting that they walk
on 10 stuart or some other point. This
theory, however, does not provide for
the third man supposed to have been
in the party, and besides collides vio-
lently with jacques story that the wat
er was too low to have hoated a body
AErN long after IN nfalAaHr -
theory is that the men caught an ore
tram on the b., a. q =. or a freight
on the Montana Union and went as far
as Silver Bow and walked from there.
put THIS conflicts with Regan's well
known disposition to pay his way and
likewise with Jacques story concerning
the water, as inquiry at both the b.. A
d +. and Montana Union offices deyel-
the fact that no train left for the
west over either road between 9 o'clock
IN the evening and IL o'clock at night.
The most satisfactory accounting of
the manner in which the men reached
the scene of the murder is found in the
theory that they left Butte on the 9:O5
O'Clock train for Anaconda over the r..
a. & p; that Sullivan and his accom-.
pIce, II he had one, as he undoubtedly
uld' by some means induced Regain to
get OFF at Silver Bow, and OBTAINING
MN TIL the train a gone proposed
that they walk on to Gregson Springs
or Anaconda. This would have enabled
them TO nave reached the scene of the
murder in time to allow the theory TO
coincide with Jacques story. and il is
besides substantiated by a fact learned
from ReSan's sister-in-laW. Mrs
Michael Regain. Mrs. Regan said Sui
and her brother-in-law talked
while at her house in the evening of
GONG TO Anaconda before starting for
occur dAlene, and were in a hurry to
eaten a train. She said they left her
house at 500 avowing this intention
Ihey may have been joined at the sta
Llon or en- route there by the third mar
y, or he may have been sent on ahead
in the day to pick out a favor
able spot, and reaching him where he
In waiting was the signal for the
assault rms, in fact, would appear a
reasonable view of the case. as II is
pretty clear the murder was remedi
.ated and planned before the deDarrure
rom Butte, while Regain was assoc
with Sullivan for some days
,r1or to Friday; in fact, it is believed
ne whole scheme to go to Occur
Alene was a part of the plot. 1t would
,Iso appear reasonable from the fact
OF all Of Silver Bow canyon. the
oneliest spot was selected, and this
night account for the fact that abso-
utely nothing has been learned regard
ng the supposed third party.
with reference to the amount of mon /
y Regan had in his possession, noth-
ng can be learned till Justice Lauran- !
the acting coroner, arrives to-day /
rom ana opens his trunk. He {
known to have had a deposit check I
$500, but it is not known whether I
cashed 1t or not before leaving, and }
is supposed by his relatives TO be in 6
trunk. If ne cashed the check he c
upwards of $500. If not, the amount T
not nave been a great deal more I
han 500. l
