Not Real Murderer But Knows Who is
A wholesale confession is expected
as the result of the arrest of Doe
Reinhardt and Emma Robinson charg-
ed with the murder of Dennis Maher,
the sheepherder
1t is not belieed that Reinhardt
struck the blow or administered the
poison that killed Maher, but that he
only assisted the real murderer in
making way with the body.
The officers have gone fer the old
white woman who informed on the 1e-
PENDANTS and who will be the star
witness in the case.
An old white woman formerly OF
the under world and who once lived il
the tenderloin district Of Reno,
smarting under the stings OF her con
science, was the cause of the arrest
of the people charged with the murder
of Dennis Maher.
At first the officers refused to il
vulge the name of the star witness
in the case of the State OF Nevada vs.

son but yesterday afternoon they sad
that the woman's name was Lola
Lewis and that she had been located
at Forest Hill, California. She pos
itiyely stated to a deputy Sheriff in
California that she saw the accused
murderers throw the body into the
ditch, as was stated in yesterday
mornings Jour nal, and further de5-
cribed the crime as it has been stat
ed. She told the story Of the crime
to the deputy while relating some OF
her experiences in Reno and even
told him the names Of the accused
persons calling them Doc and Emma

ness Lewis, and bring her to this city
where she will appear against Rein
hardt and Robinson in the preliminary

In one Of her letters to Sheriff
Hayes Lola Lewis states that she
saw a man who she knew as Nah r.,
enter the house Of Emma Robinson IN
an intoxicated condition On the night
of the 18th of April. 4 few moments
later she saw Dec" Reinhardt enter
and shortly afterwards she heard mvs-
teriCus sounds as of man trying to
yell, but was being checked. She was
curious and remained on her porch
to see if anything should happen. She
had been there only a few minutes
when she saw Emma Robinson and
Reinhardt come from the house car
rying the body Of a man, which they
dropped into the waters Of the Suili
van C. Nelly NltCH. ~ VIC pu'S D4iNi
if of California tells a straight stSry
and that she is positive in her des
cription of the man she calls Doc
which description corresponds with
the description Ct Doc" ReinharG1
one of the accused murderers.
The witness is an old white woman
who resided in the tenderOin districts
Of this city for several months. She
lived in a house near Emma Robinson
and could plainly see everything from
her porch as she claims she did. The
officers say that she is a very peace
able person and that while in thI
city she never had any trouble wit,
the police.
The District Attorney and the Sher

old white woman, is telling the trucl
and that they have at last secured tw
of the criminals who have been CON
hitting the crimes in this vicinity
They will make every effort to decid
the guilt or innocence Ct the pa tie
who have been arrested.
