LEROY'S PISTOL.
officer Talbot Thinks He Has
Found the Weapon.

After Charles Walker, alias Leroy,
alias Tone" had been arrested for
shooting E. j. Croly, while in the act
of burglarizing his house, he talked too
much to man he thought he could
trust
A few hours prior to the arrest OF
Leroy on the night that he shot Mr..
Croly, Jim Darwin was arrested on sus-
picion of knowing something about the
case and it was through him that the
police succeeded in fixing the crime on
Leroy and Brick Searight. The form
er was not allowed to learn that Dar-
win had been ''pinched," and the lat
ter was used by the police as bait
to draw the circumstances of the af-
fair from him.
Darwin, as readers of the Record
Union" will recall. did his work well.
He had two conversations with Leroy,
at the first of which the latter said
he had thrown the revolver with which
he shot Croly into lumber yard pretty
we'll down on L street At Darwin S
second talk with Leroy the latter de-
MED having thrown the revolver in the
lumber yard. and said he threw it into
China Slough, whence it would never
be recovered
When Searight, Leroy's pal. weak
ened he led the officers to the bank
of China Slough on I street and with
stone demonstrated the place in the
pool where the weapon fell. A subse-
quent dredging of the water failed to
bring up the revolver.
Some of the members of the police
force have believed all along that the
story first told to Darwin by Leroy was
true, and that the revolver was really
hid away in the lumber yard at Fifth
and l. streets, and developments yes
terday add strength to that theory
Yesterday morning officer Talbot
made d search of the stacks of lum-
ber at the yard in question. and his
efforts were rewarded by finding stuck
away between two lumber piles an old
fashioned 32-caliber revolver
Chief Dwyer is inclined to believe
that the weapon was the one disposed
of by Leroy after shooting Mr.. Croly.
