SH0CkLEY TRIED
ONCE IN MONTANA
Utah Murderer Was CHARGED
With Robbery at Dillon.
NAME THEN JACK KANE
ADMITS BEING JAILED AND
SAYS HE WAS ACQUITTED.
NAME THEN JACK KANE

The Anaconda Standard tells the fol-
lowing story about ShOckley, the street
car murderer:
j. w. Shockley. the man held in
salt Lake for the murder of Amasa L.
Gleason and Thomas Brighton, two
street car men who resisted when
Shockley tried TO hold up and rob their
car one night last January, turns out
10 be Jack Kane. a former inmate Of
the Silver Bow county jail and cell
mate Of James Martin. the executed
murderer.
That discovery was made by Sheriff
Quinn at Salt Lake while being shown
through the county jail there by the
sheriff Of Salt Lake. Sheriff Quinn was
casually looking at some of the pris-
oners, when one man greeted him:
Hello, Quinn he said.
Why. hello responded the sheriff,
but unable to recall ting name of the
prisoner
Z guess you don't remember me-
said the prisoner.
Yes. / do replied the sheriff. You
were up at Virginia City, at Dillon and
Butte last fall
Yes, I was. said ShOckley. I am
up against it good here.
Nearly a year ago ShOckley was ar
rested at Dillon for highway robbery.
and as Beaverhead county at that time
had no Jail. he with six other Beaver
head prisoners was taken to Virginia
City for safe keeping. When court was
held at Dillon in the early part of the
past winter Sheriff Quinn went to Viz
ginia City to assist the Beaverhead
sheriff TO bring the prisoners to Butte.
from which place they were taken TO
Dillon as they were wanted for trial
ShOckley then gave his name as Jack
Kane and during the three or four days
he spent in the Silver Bow jail he was
"A celimate OF and slept with James
Martin, the murderer who was executed
a short time ago.
Kane. or ShOckley. was the only one
of Me eight prisoners taken to Dillon
Tor trial who was acquitted and he
evidently went direct TO Utah, where
he resumed his business of robbery.
His right name is James Mcpherson
Shockley and his parents and other rel
atives live at Belle, Mo. He is a young
and fine looking fellow. and Sheriff
Quinn declares that the man looks like
anything but a criminal and would not
De suspected by one i'm a thousand
looking FOR a criminal"
When Shockley was shown the above
article at the state prison last night he
admitted that so far as il related to his
identity il was correct He denied.
however, that he was arrested in Mon
tana for robbery. His explanation of
the occurrence was that he was in a
Butte gambling house and participated
IN a stud poker game, in which he was
winner Of a considerable sum. He was
afterwards placed under arrest on the
charge OF running a brace game ana
was acquitted
