down and found Criu and accompanied

! places ana McGinnls excused himself
/ and went back TO the hotel. Grill and the
other man went the rounds and finally

while they were in there, about II O'Clock.

a wObblv state OF intOxication. treated
! several times ard insisted that his friend
Grill. take whiskey every time. BY this
time Grill himself had acquired the ap-
pearance Of having on board about all
| he could carry. The party left the Carey
and went down the street 10 thu Ex-
change, where Grill was piled with more
, liquor and gave evidence Of wanting 10
/ lie down somewhere and sleep. Then
/ Greiner insisted that he must take his
friend, Grill, 10 the hotel and put him u
bed, and they started to the hotel In
stead Of taking Grill 10 his own room,
however. Greiner took him % his room
in which there was two bees and put him
TO bed in one of them with his clothes on
L. H. Halt, a young man who works al
the hotel and who has occupied the same
room with GreineT. was asleep il the
other bed at the time. He heard the
men come in bnt did not awaken enough
TO pay any particular attention 20 them.
After getting Grill into bed Cireiner left
the room and went back down the street
and got two bottles OF whiskey. IL IS
I evident that the other secret service man
had come TO the city that night and was
waiting for Greiner 10 get Grill drunk
| and get him to bed for along about $50
! the young man Holt, who was asleep IN
the room was awakened by a loud snap
like piece of iron or steel breaking and
he raised up and saw Grill setting on the
edge Of the bed with q set of handouts
on and Greiner and g strange man THAI
he had never seen before standing in
front Of him. The stranger had on blue
clothes and seemed TO be an officer Of
some kind. He had a sun IN his hand
and had Grill covered with III. They
made Grill stand UP and Greiner searched
him and examined him. noting scar on
his forehead under the hair and one on
his neck and a large gold filing in one Of
his back teeth. Greiner said: This IS
your man. II that is not John Dunnam,
then ] don't know him" The man was
then taken down stairs BY the two ON
GERS and Jnat was the last that the young
man Holt saw of Mr.. c. T. Grill.
The three men left the hotel and
walked up Topeka. avenue to Sturgeon
& Lymans barn, where they went into
the ONCE and sat down. and one Of them
pounded on the door leading up stairs,
and woke the night man. Charles Hall,
who came down 10 see what was wanted.
The smallest one Of the two acted as
spokesman, and asked if they could set
a two-seated carriage and team with a
driver for a thirty mile trip. Mr.. Hall
told them that they could and he rustled
around and got Claude blanchard 10 take
the team and make the drive. The men
did not state at the time where they
wanted to go to but as they got away
from the barn they told Blanchard 20
head for Newton, which he did. The Of
dcerS did not seem inclined 10 talk and
the prisoner slept the most OF the way
up there. They got into Newton about
10 o'clock and it appeared that neither
one OF the two men were acquainted
with the town. They drove up Main
street for a couple Of blocks and stop
ped at the telegraph Office and Greiner
went in and sent message. he got back
into the carriage and they drove on
block or two and the little man told
Blanchard that he could stop and let
them out, and he did So And they
walked away. Blanchard rested his team
for a couple OF hours and returned 70
Wichita. During the trip TO Newton the
two men did not hold much conversation
and said absolutely nothing about the
case.
Greiner returned TO Wichita the next
day and left Saturday for Newton. He
cOnversed with several parties while here
and among them were Tom McGlnnis
and Mr.. Conner. who IS an employe Of
the Eagle. From what little he said 20
them, and II was little, II was cleaned
that the man Dunnam or Grill, is wanted
IN San Jose, California, tor wholesale
murder. That the crime happened a
couple OF years ago and that II was the
killing of four persons. Dunnams wife
and four children or his sister and four
children. Anyway, Il was three or four
persons that he murdered in cold blood
at least that was the impression left here
Greiner left an order with McGinuis for
the latter to deliver at the postoflice or
dering all mail addressed 70 Z. +. Grill, |
TO be forwarded 70 San Jose, California. /
and he also instructed the people at the /
hotel 20 forward his own mail TO the |
same point. This man Greiner IS con
sidered a pretty shrewd duck by the peo-
pie at the Topeka Avenue hotel and 81
