son declared to man he couldn t have

was probable he couldn't have kept out
Of the assault But evidence Of Il serious
character was piled up against him
when he made the suspicious attempt to

the idea that Healy knew something
about the train robbery. No one could
surely identity any Of the seven Ian
gushing in Butte's stronghold, and the
sheriff was at his wits end. The officer
of the guard had gone over to get his

and an ovcrconiidunt sergeant, detailing
a sentry to stand close by, permitted

and he questioned. At first the young
lrishman was stubborn and would tell
nothing, but gradually he made adnis-
s!ons and kept CHANGING fearfully over

him around behind the pOrtico of the
