Chieflavelle VIII Go After the Sus-
pected Murderer OF Mrs.
Creech Tomorrow.

The police are confident Edward Mar
shall. the man who vas arrested by the
Salt Lake authorities a few days ago.
is no other han Ed Allison, the sup
posed murderer of Mrs. Joseph Creech,
who was shot through the heart in her
husbands saloon, at the corner of Main
and Mercury streets. while attempting
to save her husbands life. About two
hours after the shooting Allison was
caught in the act of burglarizing a saloon
and taken to Jail, from which place, half
an hour later. he made a remarkable
escape. He was gone before he was sus-
pected of the Creech murder.
Marshall was arrested in Salt Lake
City on Thursday afternoon, for assault
and for having in his possession bur-
glars tools. The Salt Lake officers had
Allison's description. as sent out by the
Butte police, and wired Chief Lavell to
that effect. Friday Chief Lavell tele-
graphed to the Salt Lake chief, request
ing that a photograph of Marshall be
taken and sent to Butte. The photo-
graph arrived last night. 1t is a picture
of Allison. Kinsley. the song and dance
man, who was with Allison when the wo-
man was shot, and who was the first
man to fix the responsibility Of the
shooting on Allison, was very much agi-
tated when he was shown the picture at
the county Jail today. He admitted that
it was a picture of Allison.
Jailer Tom Boyle. who suspected ALI
sons guilt because some cartridges
found on his person when he was
searched at the city Jail fitted the cham
Der of the revolver with which Mrs.
Creech was killed, says the picture is an
excellent LIKENESS Of the man who es-
capped jail.
Chief Lavell and the other officers who
have been working on the case, are con-
fident that Marshall is Allison. and the
chief will leave for Helena tonight to get
papers of requisition from Governor
Smith. and will leave for Salt Lake on
Tuesday to get his man.
The Salt Lake Tribune of yesterday
contained the following:
"The police believe that in Edward
Marshall, the youth who occasioned such
an exciting chase before his arrest on
Thursday afternoon, they have the fell
low who murdered Mrs. Fay Creech in a
Butte saloon ten days ago. Deputy
Sheriff McCann of Lewis and Clarke
county, Mont, who is in the city. looked
the prisoner over yesterday and noted
that he Tailed with the description of the
man who shot Mrs. Creech. The author
tiles at Butte We're notified of MarshalIs
arrest. and they at once telegraphed a
description of Mrs. Creech's murderer
to Chief Hilton. The description tailed
exactly with young Marshall. and. fur
thermore, his actions and talk strengthen
the officers in their belief that he is the
right man. The fact that he made such
a desperate attempt to elude arrest
counts for something, the police say. The
prisoner denies strenuously that he was
ever in Butte. He told the officers yes
terday that he had come here direct from
Denver, where he had lived for over
IA years. However. the officers upon ques-
tioning him found that he knew nothing
whatever about Denver.
The police are now inclined to believe
that Marshall and Melvine are not the
perpetrators of the many recent our
glaries, but petty thieves. Melvine was
taken before Judge Tinlmony yesterday
to answer to the charge of having our
glars tools. He pleaded not guilty, In
