X The sheriff on his guard, so he says,
"a that the reason lac did not 20 with
esm was because he Is not guilty OF
N charge placed against him. They
hi considered pretty hard men, and
vuald do most anything TO gain their
p1L but what seems so strange TO
NJ officers. Is that Williams was in
i.ced 10 20 along, as he II very
hne in his left leg, and cannot move
q lively as the others. Roach says
lians and Crawford had to DO con-
s5eiable coaxing In order to get Will
ANS to 30 with them. The men are
al waiting trial on the charges men
Toned above. They are described as
follows:
Adams about 40 years Of age, dark
Alr fuu beard cut pointed, sallow COM
ItIi0n. about 8 feet inches In height,
Weighs about l55 pounds, wears dark
clothes.
Crawford. about IS years Of age. light

let inches IN height, weighs about
w pounds, dark clothes,
Williams: tall, slim man, light COM
pected. shayes clean, left leg shorter
han light and walks very lame on II,
Dark suit Of clothes.
The sheriff is Of the opinion that
Adams and Crawford will leave Will
lams 70 skin alone and that they VIII
hslp one another There Is no clue as TO
VIA, direction they went, but II Is
n1ught they will try to get out Of
l1En as soon as possible, but the sher-
us force and the police force are both
