Is The MURDERER
Otto Erickson Confesses to
Killing Of James Garrett
Three Weeks Ago.
WAS A BRUTAL CRIME
With But Slight P~rovocation Erickson
Met the Rsnchman and Shot Vic
tim Then Cut His Throat
With a Big Knife.

Belle Fourche, S. d, Nov. a2.-An
doubt as to how James Garrett. the
rancher, met death three weeks ago
was removed when Otto Erickson, a
young Finlander, 10 years old, con-
fessed to the killing. at the same time
duplicating his two brothers., Willie
and Yailner.
The story as told by Otto Erickson
indicates a crime which has no prece-
dent in the Black Hills, not even in
the early days when border warfare
was at its zenith. While riding along
across the ang rounding up stray
cattle the Erickson brothers came upon
Garrett, who was driving i COW and a
calf. They warned him to turn the
stock over to them as it was their
property. Garrett is said to have re-
turned an answer not to the liking OF
Otto Erickson. who, without another
word. raised his automatic rifle and
fred three shots, any one of which
would have caused death. With a
groan Garrett fell from his horse, not
dead, but dying. He begged his slayer
to kill him, and Erickson pulled from
his pocket u long bladed knife and
slashed CARROTS throat from ear to
ear. Satisfied that their victim was
dead, the brothers then dragged the
body to some underbrush close by II
went IN home.
Three days afterward they returned
to the spot where the rancher had been
left. Fearing that q search for the
murdered man would be made, they
then wrapped the badly decomposed
form in a gunny sack n dragged it
to a distance of two miles to the head
of Bull creek. Here they dug "a hole
and in it placed heir victim, covering
the body with about six inches of earth.
h lone they left the spot feeling
satisfied that their atrocious crime had
been covered UP. And it no doubt
would have been had not Thronton
Ames and Mrs. Garrett accidentally
stumbled onto the body just as they
were about to give up the search.
The three brothers are now under
arrest and closely guarded by Sheriff
Moses and deputies in the Butte county
jail. 1t is not thought mob violence will
be resorted to. although feeling runs
pretty high. Louis Matson, who was
arrested shortly after Garrett disap-
peared, has been released from GUS
tody.
