H. N. STEELE TALKS.
Henry NJ Steele who was chief of DO
lice at the time ofJOhn Collins arrest
is incensed over a report that he at
tempted to arrest John Collins at the
grave Of his father and was prevented
BY Sheriff Cook.
II have kept silent all this time,'' said
Mr.. Steele. but I am tired of it. The
fact is that Sheriff Cook and myself
talked over the matter with County
Attorney Jetmore and then went to
Justice of the Peace McClintock where
a warrant was sworn out and Sheriff
Cook and signed the complaint Cook
rode to the graveyard with me and we
talked over the matter going out and
decided what we would do. / did not
have the warrant but in accordance
with the arrangement I called John
after the coffin had been lowered and
told him in a whisper that we had q
warrant for his arrest and told him to
go home. He said All right [ will
wait for you at the house l am sure
that even Mrs Collins did not know
about it then and that no one else at
the cemetery knew. When I looked for
Cook ne was gone and did not come to
ride home with me. That is the truth
about the arrest at the grave. I got
none of the reward but I won't Keep
still about the arrest any longer"
