MAN ARRESTED
WITH THREE
GUNS ON HIM
WddswOrth Officer Picked
Up"Murphy" Released Here
Saturday Night
DOING TIME IN RENO NOW
Weapons Believe to be Those
With Which Jack Weleh
Mas Killed

The man who was arrested in
Wadsworth yesterday, and whose de-
soription was Immediately wired to
the officers here, was found to be one
of the bunch sent up from Lovelock
some time ago to serve sentences Of
various length, ana who was released
from custody by Sheriff Lamb last
Saturday, his time having expired.
When arrested yesterday he gave the
name of Murphy. Three revolve
were found in his pockets, and it is
supposed these are the property OF
the four men suspected of the MUIR
der OF Jack Welch. 1t will be remem-
bered that when they were taken into
custody at Lovelock, shortly after
Welch was shot, no weapons of any
kind were found upon them. 1t is
the supposition that they hid the
guns, knowing that trouble was t.
store for them, and thinking Il wuu
be better to be taken in without TIE
additional discriminating tvide0ce of
the revolvers, and that they tippef
off the hiding place to the man re.eas-
ed Saturday in order that he might
get them. He ran against the real
thing at Wadsworth again, however,,
and was sentenced to forty days H.
the Reno Jail.
Detective Mahoney was on his way
To nuoIncl yacfardav IN IioNt
gine to look up an important bit OF
evidence against the accused mcn
When the news of the arrest # "Mur-
ply" came to Sheriff Lamb from
Wadsworth. The she. in at O. W.
Mr.. Mahoney at Lovelock, and e.
Iuested him to- proceed at once t.
Wadsworth and learn if the man un-
der arrest there was the man released
from the HUMBOLDT county Jail last
saturday. He complied with tie r.
luest, and easily ide ltifed the fei ow.
fhe local officers a convinced 1aat
the weapons recove. ed are tie Oncs
used by Roberts, vii ians, Go. man
and Sevner. and that they are the
identical ones with which the life f
ack Welch was ended.
1t was authentically given oIt Is
morning that the grand jury would
.neet next Friday morning at 10
clock to investigate the mu. ler of
young Welch, and it is said that
evidence in the case is all in shape
to be presented to the jury ev5
ow, if it wee desired. The e.t-
.ensus of opinion is that it will re-
quire but a very short time for tie
grand jury to conclude its delibera-
tions, while Offers of wagers on the
outcome are all too one-sided to find
any takers.
One of the four men (which one the
officers declined to say intimated this
morning that, while he knew nothing
of the diamond robbery on the nig.t
of August 18th, he was in posse 81 n
of other information the office. S wo l.
like to have, and that if it was 1e
sired he would give it. He was H.
formed, however. that the officers
were not ready to hear his story, but
that he would be given a chance to
talk later ON. 1t is believed or at
least suspected, that one of the for
will turn witness for the state before
the case comes to trial, and make a
complete confession. AS this one
least apt TO be one of the principals
in the actual commission of the crime,
such a confession would greatly
strengthen the case against tue others
