a life sentence for the murder of Col
Onel ProWse. On his first trial he was
given a death sentence. but secured a

Partner Murdered in Camp.
Charles King, who is believed to have
been Martelli, arrived in Edmonton,
Canada. about August. 1904 This was
about two months after Martelli left
Denver He made the acquaintance of
the prominent citizens of the town and
gave his residence as Salt Lake CITY.
He wanted to go into the far north He
heard of a young Englishman by the
name of Edward Hayward who was
prospecting in the north near Lesser
Slave lake. Hayward had come out TO
Canada to make fortune for himself
and for a faithful ghl in far-off Eng
land. who was awaiting his success.
Hayward was sadly in need of a part
ner and he took King into his conf
dence. He told him of the great bodies
of rich ore in the north and Of the Won
drous tales brought down b. the In
dians. King was anxious TO make the
journey and the preliminaries were ar
ranged They covered 300 miles to the
southern shores of Lesser Slave lake
by the middle of September AT this
point their provisions gave out and
they suffered hardships.
They camped in bunch of willows on
the edge of Sucker creek Indian reserve.
SikacheSe. a Sucker Creek Indian who
had been trapping. noticed the tracks of
two white men and wondered what they
could be doing so far from civilization.
Sikachese told Sergeant Anderson sc the
Royal Northwest mounted police. who
was patrOling that district. Kisaris an
other Indian, watched King cooking Hay
wards last supper. On the night OF Sept
Is he heard the crack of a rifle shortly
before midnight. and. believing that the
men must have been attacked by some
wild animal. Went early in the morning
TO investigate. He found the camp de-
serted, but noticed the tracks of only one I
man leaving it.
Finds Suspicious Signs.
The campfire had been enlarged since
he last saw it. the pile of still glowing
embers being fully twelve feet long and
half as wide. This struck Kisanis as be-
ing peculiar, for the weather was still
warm and he could not see the necessity
he also told to Sergeant Anderson and
then traced the footprints of the lone
man to trapper's shanty, several miles
off. on the way toward Edmonton, 20
which town King had already started "a
return. When aslted as to the where
abouts of the missing man. his answers
were far from satisfactory, SO Sergeant
Anderson arrested him

still glowing and on the surface appeared
to be the remains of some garment. He
found charred button which fell To
pieces in his hands. Telling his father and
other Indians. the investigation started
in earnest In the campfire the Indians
found pieces of bone and flesh, a gold
filled tooth. some shot and a piece OF. d
broken tent needle. In a slough. which
was drained, were found two pairs Of
boots and the sole of another.
Proving Kings Guilt.
\ On Kings person were found many arr
ticles which had belonged to Hayward.
This was the foundation on which the
police had TO work. They sent TO North
