PEACHES ON HIS FELLOW THUGS
Tells of Murder and BurgIaries In
Montana Town.

Montana Town.
Lewistown, Mont, Dec. 1S.-James
Sherman, aged 10, manager of the Ar
gus Publishing eompanys stationery
department, who was recently arrested
on suspicion of brutally numbering
Sam Studzinski, an old pawnbroker,
August 20, for the purpose of robbery,
has confessed, impncating DR.. e. A.
Long, a dentist; Walter Gooch, former
night marshal of the town, and Russell
Hortop and David Atchison, young men
of the town, in the murder, as well as
in a postoffice burglary and many 9TH
er recent burglaries in the town. More
of the jewelry stolen from the Stud
zinski place was recovered today from
the place, where it had been cached by
Sherman.
County Attorney Escapes Death.
Roy e. Ayers, county attorney, who
has been active in solving the murder
mystery, has made public the fact
that an attempt was made, December
1, to poison himself and wife, it being
his theory that it was thought the at
tempt would put him out of the case
by killing or frightening him. Mr..
and Mrs. Ayers were away from home
until a. m. and when they returned
found the house had been entered.
When Mrs. Ayers took drink from a
bucket of water she noticed a peculiar
taste and an analysis by chemist re-
vealed the presence of a large guam
tity of strychnine in the water.
All whom Sherman has implicated in
the crimes to which he has confessed
are under arrest.
Every one of the suspects denies alb
solutely that there is any truth in the
story told by Sherman. DR.. Long
points out the fact that he was not in
town at the time of the postoffice rob
berry, and this statement is confirmed
by the officers. Sherman has told con.
the details connecting these persons
with the crimes, and some doubt is ex.
pressed by the officers.
Later Report
A final confession has been made by
James Sherman. He states the murder
was committed by himself alone. as were
the dozen or more mysterious burglaries
in Lewistown during the past year as
well, also attempted poisoning of the
coonty attorney and his family Deem
Der l.
All those accused with Sherman have
been released from custody.
In telling his story young Sherman
was cool and collected and does not

There is also little difficulty over the

II will be recalled that the sanatorium

drawn by the j. A. Latham Co. there
having been several bidders.
