EATON MAY HANG.
He Was Captured in Butte and Taken
Back to Oakland.

Chief of Police LavelI received tele-
gram yesterday from Chief of Police
Bolton OF Oakland. Cal, 10 the effect
that William Eaton, who was captured
in Butte by Detective Murphy. has been
found guilty of murder ana would either
be hanged or else go to prison for life.
Eaton was going under the name Of
McShea when he was caught in Butte.
He and two other young men committed
a criminal assault upon an 1S-year-old
girl named Maude McGraW. and the
girl died from the effects of the treat
ment. Eaton fled from the city and
reward was offered for his capture. De-
tective Murphy became aware of the
fact that he was here under the name
of McShea, and to decoy him to the post
office had his true name inserted in the
advertised letter list.
Eaton took the bait, but the delivery
clerk, who had been posted on the mat
ter came very near defeating the we'll
laid plans of the detective. AS soon as
Eaton asked for the letter that Was adj
vertised, the clerk commenced calling
for the police. 1t only took Eaton a
minute to clear the door and run like a
frightened hare up the street. Detec-
tive Murphy was a close second, and
realizing that he had a sprinter TO deal
with. fired two shots in the air. The
shots brought Eaton to a standstill and
he was taken to the jail, where he was
kept until the arrival OF the Oakland
officer with the eXtradition papers.
just what reward was offered for the
capture of the scoundrel is not known,
but Detective Murphy has not got very
much faith in rewards, for the people
or the counties offering them generally
manage to evade payment. Mr.. Murphy
and other officers of the Butte police
force have made many captures where
rewards We're offered, but as far as
known none of them ever received any
of the money that was offered. If the
city of Oakland or the county of Ala>
media keep their credit good in the pres
ent case the record will be broken.
While the particulars of the assault
upon Miss McGraW are not fully known
in Butte, it is understood that the as
Sault was wholly unprovoked. and that
the young lady was very highly respect
ed in Oakland. The three men attacked
the girl and then two of them, becom-
ing frightened at the course they had
taken, begged Eaton not to carry the
outrage too far. They threatened TO in
form the officers and to appear against
him at the trial, but Eaton paid no at
tention to them. The chances are tina.
he will hang for the crime.
