BE TAKEN BACK

Trial in Wyoming.
BELIEVED TO BE GUILTY
REWARD QUESTION HAS BEEN
ADJUSTED.
Especial TO The 4erald3

Y of Big Horn county. Wyoming,
Sheriff Horton OF Carbon county,
Deputy United States Marshal Joseph
Levers. and Attorney w. l.. Walls. of
/ Cody. WyO,. Will ieaVe here tomorrow
morning. having in custody Albert L
Caldwell and David Fraughton who
! have been charged with the murder of
cashier MiddaUgh of the Cody bank,
last November. d. d. HOutz last night
wired Sheriff Preece instructinE him To
turn the men over to the Wyoming Of
hc1alS- Judge Booth having consented
/ TO release them from his jurisdiction
Believe Them the Right Men
The opinion of Sheriff Fenton and De
tective Joseph Levers has undergone
eight hours They were at first very
/ doubtful about the identity of the two
/ men as the Cody hOldupS, but many Of
| the doubts have been removed ny sub
| sequent Developments. Attorney Wills
! who was an eve witness 10 the Cody
/ tragedy. and who first identified the
men, has made il point to study the
/ two men closer. and is more positive
I than ever in his declaration that they
! are the men wanted. He is so Ger
/ tain that he has said that he would
/ stake his life on the identity of Cald-
well as the man who fired the shot
that killed the bank cashier
Stories Picked to Pieces.
Added to the emphatic declaration Of
/ Walls is the fact that the story told
/ by the two men of there wherea bouts
/ at the date of the Cody affair Is being
! gradually picked TO pieces 1t has also
! been found that the men made other
/ damaging admissions besides the story
/ told TO Joseph Labrum. The doubts at
I first entertained by Sheriff Fenton are
! giving away TO a feeling of conviction
/ that Walls was right IN his ldentlhcd-
! ton Walls singled out Caldwell with
/ out knowing that he was in the town
/ Another strange circumstance is the
fact that Walls before leaving Cody
! drew "A profile of the head of the man
| who did the shooting. and it conforms
exactly to that of Caldwell
That Wyoming Telegram
Sheriff Fenton received a telegram
today from Governor Brooks of Wyo-
ming stating that d. H. FOunt had
wired that Caldwell and FrauGhton
worked for the Dexter Cattle company
at the time of the Cody bank robbery
This does not tally with the story told
bv the men to Sheriff FentOn them
selves. who stated that they were chop
ping wood at Atlantic City at the
time.
Sheriff Fenton has allowed it to e
out that he will not leave with the meT
for several days, but his real nten-
/ ton is TO start early i'm the morning
! This secrecy Is Tor the purpose 81
| throwing any one who might possibly
attempt a release off the track
Would Make Fight.
Should any such thing be attempted
there viii be bloody fight for the
, wyoming officers viii be prepared fOl
| any emergency Sheriff Fenton is
man of cool nerve and determined cOur-
/ age. Levers has a reputation of be
| ing one Of the coolest and most dar-
ing men in the west. He has gone
| through several wild encounters witt
the western outlaws. and has pursued
them from Canada to Mexico Sheriff
| Horton of Carbon county is also a MAJ
] Of nerve as ~ also the case with AT
| torney Walls. Should they be inter
fered with in any way, there will b'
/ a desperate encounter It is hardly
! likely that any such thing viii occur
/ however. as the relatives OF both mel
7 i'm this section are generally law abld
ing citizens who would be inclined u
allow the law to take its course
Accused Are Uneasy.
Caldwell and Fraughton are begin
! ming to show signs Of uneasiness anC
| evidently dislike the idea of being TAX
on back TO Wyoming. They have nc
been Informed of the start to be mad'
1 in the morning. and will not be unit
they are called upon 10 don thei1
clothes and are hustled into the con
! veyance and irOned ready for the start
The question Of reward has been set
tied upon the basis of One-third eacl

third TO Deputy Sheriff Tolliver. shoul,
