thought.
The murderers remained about Park
City for two days and three nights
after committing the crime, mingling
freely with the lower classes Of peo-
pie and having as before a gay time.
They had laid the body of their dead
companion in the wagon with the barley
sacks and, cold blooded and merciless as
they had been, had been afraid to stay
at their camp during the night. and had
gone to town each night to and
to sleep, when they could sleep. They
appeared to be nonchalant but they
found, as all murderers do, of how
ever hardened character, that the
crime bore down upon them. 1t was a
heavy weight. They tried to drown it
In drink and in the gayeties Of dance
house merriment. But he .ailed
signally.
The murderers concluded that they
must get rid of the body and that then
they would find peace of conscience.
They determined to move on, taking
the body as well as the property of the
murdered boy with them, and to find
some place to hide it from view, think
ing that in this case, as in some others,
the object being out of sight would be
out of mind. They journeyed on, how
ever, selling some of the barley by the
way, until they came to a lonely and
secluded spot in Echo canon, where
they camped tor the night. and where
they lifted the body of their former
companion from its resting place in
the wagon from among the barley
sacks, and as the darkness came on
in the deep cannon, laid it to rest, leav-
ing the owls and night hawks to sing
the funeral dirge, and the moaning
pines to offer up prayers for safe pas
sage to the Great Beyond.
So the murderers were freed from
their burden and they passed on over
the country. But were they happy?
And did they find that contentmen. oil
mind which they mao hopeu would
come after getting rid of the corpse OF
their late friend? At Green River Wei

He seemed lost for a moment, and
soon took his departure with a trou,

From the time the body was dispos-
ed OF in the lonely spot in Echo canon,
the men pushed rapidly eastward. max.
ing an effort at every opportunity to
dispose of their barley and their teams
and wagons. They disposed of the
grain at Evanston, and OF the first team
at Piedmont. Journeying on, they
stopped for a few days at Green River,

were sold. The articles were all of.
fered at prices below their real values,
and some suspicion was created. The
murderers declared that they had own
ed the animals for four years; but they
at last found a man who had known
the team as belonging to Turner, and
who had telegraphed him of the effort
of a stranger to sell them.
Tais was the first clue which the
father had Of the sons murder. Wine
he was coming to Green River, accom-,
panied by his friend, Sheriff Allison,
the two men, having at last disposed
of the property, took their departure
quietly, and no one seemed to know
which way they had gone. The pur
surers only reached the place to find
that their game had flown, and to find
themselves arrived at the place with
nothing to do, and with the prospect d
starting back home without finding the
object of their search. The old fathers
heart was almost broken. AS a last re
sort they telegarphed to Detective Carr
superintendent Cooks assistant a
Cheyenne, on the 23d OF July, and sue
ceeded in getting him interested in the
case. He had no idea that the muir
derer was near him at the time of re
ceiving the telegram, but he immedi
ately set to work with mis- usual yigo,
and shrewdness to bring down his
game. He did lot have to wait long.
Mr.. Carr oon learned that there

but the detective determined toS"make
haste slowly" n as he knew that the
fellow could not dodge him, he decided
to watch him awhile before taking him
in, merely for the sake Of entirely sat
isfying himself as to the eorrestnese
of his conclusions. He found that the
young man had been a part at q leading
hotel for a week past, and
that he had been making himself
generally agreeable, spending money
freely and seeming to be in very easy
circumstances. He was especially fond
of buggy riding, and was a liberal pat
