sheriff j. W. Green brought MRekey, his
wife and three children in from Gallup
last night and turned them over to Mar
shall McMillin, through whose efforts the
arrest was made. he intense agony
manifested by the wife and children
could not but touch the hardest heart
MAckey himself took things more cOOlly,
but he, too, was considerably non
plnased by the turn which things had
taken. Marshal McMillln did not desire
70 infliet any greater hardship on Mackey
than was absolutely necessary, 80 he
turned him over TO Fred FOfnOff, as spe.
cial guard, and permitted him TO remain
AZ the hotel
When Mackey was seen by represen.
tatiye OF THE CITIZEN he refused 10 dis
cuts the charges against him, farther
thin 20 say that he was going back 10
Topeka 20 face thCm and that he hoped
t1 0e acquitted. He did cay, however,
that ha was a partner In the tirm OF Ma
ieau n Co., aud that he had taken f17,-
100, which he considered HIS fair share Of
he profits VI the bdA ness aud the money
he had invested. He positively denied
that he had taken any money from the
pOstOfllce at Nadaau, which ne declared
TO be trumped up charge, pure and SIM
ole. He said his plans were 10 leave his
family In Los Angeles and 20 20 himself
10 South America.
When Maekey was searched upon his
arrival here, he had only 90 30 upon his
sers- and he said that his wife had
$500, which Is all that is left OF the
money which he IL charged with embez
cling In Kansas less than two years ago.
In his grip were found some papers
which indicate that Mackey IL no novice
n the swindling business. Among others
was letter written by Dan. W. Charles.
VI Hamilton. Ohio, In 1896, TO the New
York underwriters, suggesting that 70
ward be offered for the apprehension o.
b. II. Macke, which is one way OF spell
ng his'name. Maokey admitted that he
had been engaged In theinsurnnce busi
ness In Ohio, aud also that he had spent
q portion Of his money In Strengthening
np matters back there.
The facts about his operations In Kan
sa' will appear In the Associated Press
dispatch above which was received by

A telegram received from the Kansas
officials inquired whether Mackey would
return without reQuisition. He said at

that he would do voluntarily. This will
ielay matters about one day.
Marshal McMillin received telegram
from the chief OF police at Topeka late
last night saying that he would come
after Mackey on the tlrst train.
