The night was very dark because Of
the thick clouds which since sunset
had begun TO obscure the heavens. but
it was far cooler than the daytime had
been, and the men marched gayly
along. singing cheerily as they went.
Captain Kellie, tramping at the head
Of the column, carried a light by which
to see possible obstructions, and the
men came swinging steadily after him,
followed by the transport horses and
the Maxim gun.

CLEARLY PROVES
HIS INNOCENCE
AND IS RELEASED
Harry McVeay Was
Not the Robber.
LAUNDERING POLICE METHODS
AN INNOCENT MAN THROWN IN
THE TANKS.

Harry McVeay, the cook who was un-
Justly suspected by Detective Crockett
and Sergeant Ellis Of being the man who
stole a sack containing $4,000 from the
buggy of Captain Barneson. and who
since last Sunday has been locked up in
the tanks in the City Prison, was given
his freedom yesterday, as it was conclu-
sively shown that he had nothing to dc
with the robbery.
The friends Of the much abused man
are now seriously thinking of preferring
charges OF incompetency against the
blundering sleuths who dragged McVeay
from his place of employment and threw
him in prison without first having OBJ
tanned the least evidence against him.
Yesterday Attorneys Harris and Hess,
who had been employed by friends Of the
unfortunate man to defend him, visited
police headquarters, intending to consult
with him about his arrest. Becoming
alarmed, Crockett and Ellis Immediately
informed Chief Lees of the presence OF
the attorneys and suggested that McVeay
be given his freedom. They both ad-
ulitted that they had made serious
blunder in arresting him.
Learning that the attorneys had applied
TO Superior Judge Lawler for writ of
habeas corpus, intending to secure the re-
lease of their client, Lees, in order to cir
cumVent them, sent word to the prison
Keeper to discharge McVeay from Gus
tody. McNeay was then ushered out of
the prison and told that he was at liberty
to go where he pleased. The attorneys
were much chagrined over the action of
Lees, as they were anxious to show UP
the Siberian methods" of the local Police
Department in trying to railroad an inno-
cent man to the penitentiary.
The statement of the arreSting officers
that McVeay had been seen by Mrs.
Willis entering the Nevada House, where
he roomed, with a sack of coin under his
coat shortly after the commission of the
robbery. is untrue. Mrs. Willis unhesitat-
ingly declares that the man she saw with
was Nils Toft who is employed at the
Chutes. On the day of the robbery he
was sent to the Mint by his employers
TO change some gold and silver into nick
els and dimes. The sack in which he
carried the money was stamped with the
letters L. S. A, and was similar to the
one stolen with the valuable contents
from the buggy Of Captain Barneson.
loft rooms at the Nevada House, and
after getting the supply OF small ehange
he went to his apartments and placed the
sack and its contents in bureau drawer.
knowing that McNeay roomed in the
house the wise sleuths concluded that
he was the man who had the sack under
his coat Yesterday they learned their
mistake. much to their discontinue.
McVeay tells an amusing story Of the
particular methods employed by Ellis and
Crockett TO force him to make a con
fession." They first tried to bulldoze him,
but as he steadfastly proclaimed his in
nocence they resorted to cajolery TO in
duce him to "squeal." McVeay mas been
advised by his friends to institute suit
against Lees, Ellis and Crockett for false
Imprisonment.
