NOTED CRIMINAL Elliott, Who Hoodwinked Bis bee People. May Be Want
 ed for Murder.
GOT JOB TO OBTAIN i. rs,. a DYNAMITE QUIETLY
Marshall Snodgrass Hears Fur- ther Regarding Man, Who Was Arrested in Los Ange- les After Leaving This City.

Advising that a complaint he sworn to against Dean Elliott, charging him with obtaining money under false pretenses in Bisbee and Lowell, City Marshal Snodgrass yesterday recelv- ed letters from H. B. Bailey, chief of the Pinkerton's agency. and Paul Hammer, chief of police, both of Los Angeles.
 While in Bisbee Elliott claimed to be a San Francisco refugee, getting there two days before the earthquake. and having his sister killed by fall ing sign. He came there. so he said. from Korea, where he had just buried his wife.
 After hearing his pitiful taie, Mayor Caven gave him letter to the Calu- met & Arizona, where Assistant Fore man ". G. Fraser put him 70 work. On the strength of his story, Calumet & Arizona employees raised over s100, of which sS5 was sent him after he left here and went to Los Angeles.
 No sooner did Elliott land :n ] Ios Angeles than he was spotted by the detectives as a bad man. who was wanted in several parts of the coun- try. While in jail he received tele- gram from Bisbee, containing money. which led to the discovery that he had been here.
 Bailey writes in his letter that FL Hott's ease has been turned over to opinion that Elliott's object in get ting toh at the Calumet 1& Arizona was for the purpose of getting dyna- mite to be used in blowing open safes. ....-.
 It is suggested by Bailey that com plaint be sworn to here against the prisoner. charging him with getting money under false pretenses, this to be used in case he escapes conviction on another charge that is against him. II. apuears from Bailev's letter that
 Elliott has bad record, having seTy- ed several terms in prison, and that his picture is in many of the rogue's | galleries in many parts of the United | States.
 1 The letter from Hammer is written
 bv Police Captain W. H. Auble. He says that Elliott is being held in Los
 Angeles on a felony charge. He also sugeests that if the Los Angeles au' i thorities fail to convict. this famous
 crook be brought to Bisbee and prose cuted.
 l Chief Hammer says Elliott has a | long criminal record. He has served terms in the Folsnm. Kentucky and China prisons for serious ofenses That he has heen in jail in China in 1 dicates that Bisbee harbored a dan gerous criminal without being aware Of the fact. He was smooth enougf to deceive several who tried to hell him out. | About the worst charge on which | Elliott is believed to be wanted is tht
 murder of Lieutenant Heffler in Louis f, vile. This was a narticularlv bruta
 affair. Elliott stabbing his victim tt
 death without warning and over trivial affair.T
 Should it nroye that Elliott Is want ed in Louisville for the Heffler murde it is probable that prosecution of him | either in Los Angeles or Bisbee vii he dronDed and he will be taken ther' . at once to answar to the charge. Tn I>os Angeles and Louisville authori l ties are now in communication. , For some reason the Los Angeie officers think Elliott was the prim mover in the robbery of the Cope City brewery at Douglas. Elliott l believed to have planned the robbery : in which 8 safe was blown open wit dynamite and 5000 obtained. thougl he took no actual part in the affair.
