POLICE ARREST
TWO SUSPECTS
Supposed Slayers Of Otto
Ekberg Are in the
City Prison.

BY the arrest Of two men named Riley
and Mcdonald last night the police bc-
lieve they have the murderers of Otto Elk
berg. the non-union teamster who was
foully murdered at Third and Townsend
streets Saturday evening. Riley answers
the description given of the murderer By
Mrs Miller, who was the only eyewitness
to the bloody crime. Mcdonald, the po-
lice claim, was with Riley when he struck
the fatal blow.
Since the commission of the brutal muir
der Captain Seymour has had Detectives
Tom Gibson and Hammill working on the
case. Yesterday afternoon they found
the owner of the piece of gaspipe which
was used by the assassin, and through the
information given by him they arrested
Riley Shortly afterward the detectives
arrested Mcdonald at his home near the
vicinity of the murder and locked him UP
in the tanks"
When questioned about the murder the
prisoners emphat tically denied any connec-
ton with the crime. Riley declared that
he was at his home when the unfortunate te
teamster was struck down, but his state
ment is not corroborated by his mother.
She admitted to the detectives that her
son did not arrive home until unusually y
late on the night of the murder.
From the evidence which they have in
their possession both Gibson and Ham
mill are satisfied that they have the men
who Stayed Ekberg.
