j. w. Murray Believed to Be
Colorado Springs Robber.

An important arrest was made last
night by Might Merchant Policeman

In the person of man giving his name
as J. W. Murray. Hopkins saw the man
near the entrance of the Crawford OPP

Robert Lambert on Rock Island train
about August l.
The Lamberts refused to stay in town
and prosecute the man, who gave his
name as John Moore, and he was chased
out of town the following Monday by
Detective Pavey,with instructions never
to return.
Hopkins followed the man into the
territory of Officer Mcintosh and they
arrested him. When Moore or Murray
was here before he lad a small tin
watch and thirty cents in money. This
time he was found to have $15633,
good gold watch and also a gold nugget

ed up for a fugitive from justice.
1t Is now almost certain that he is one
of the parties who robbed the Colorado
Springs store. Chief Donovan took the
list issued by Chief King, of Colorado
Springs, and the watch taken from MUIR

lily picked out the watch on the list by
the description and number. The robber

is of the opinion that the man was shot
through the thigh from the rear and the
bullet extracted from the front by a
surgeon. The wound is clearly a bullet
hole in the rear. but the other wound
seems to be a cut, probably made by a
surgeon in extracting the bullet. He
tells different stories about the length of
time since he was wounded, and DR..
Judd says the wound would indicate
that. it was made several days ago.
probably not longer ago than the 18th
A reward of SIS is out for the arrest
of the robber, which, II he is convicted,
will be divided between Officer McIn-
tosh and Merchant Policeman Hopkins
Chief Donovan wired Chief King of
Colorado Springs today that the man
had been captured. He is tough look
ing specimen, and "nervy," making no
lively refusing to tell how he got it.
In reply to a telegram sent last nigh-
Chief King of Colorado Springs wires
to know if J. M. Murray, the man held
here on suspicion of being a fugitive
from justice, will return to that state
without requisition. No answer to a
second message sent by Chief Donovan
has been received. 1t is supposed that
Murray VIII try to stay away from
Colorado Springs.
He has employed an attorney and
will attempt to secure his release by
habeas corpus proceedings, which
would be brought before Judge Pagan
of the probate court, in the absence OF
Judge Hazen. Chief Donovan refuses
to honor the prisoners order for the
money taken from him last night, and
the proceedings will be delayed on ac-
count of his inability to pay his attor-
ney. TIE police say that should Muir
ray escape by habeas corpus method he
will be promptly rearrested on another
char-e.
