MGARVEY, THE MURDERER,
BEING PANIED BY HUNGER
HE WENT TO A RANCH


the tunnel At Tunnel he was put
on the train by the conductor. Sat
urday night he spent in the hills be,
tween the Cameo coal mines and the
Mcdowell ranch, stating that he
struck the Mcdowell ranch about s
6clock Sunday morning, as Mr.. Nc
Dowell states.
The only question regarding Jailer
Innes that was asked McGarvey was
when Under Sheriff Hardy asked
George. what time was it when you
hit Ed?" "Just after supper replied
the murderer.
McGarvey probably had no food
from Wednesday night until some
time late in the day Thursday. He
ate fruit several times an stopped,
1t is thought at two or three lonely
and isolated farm houses.
Under Sheriff Hardy states that
McGarvey had on the old hat and
blue undershirt he wore when he
left the jail. McGarvey seemed to
be in great fear and evidently he was
of the opinion that a mob might deal
out violence TO him. McGarvey was
handcuffed on the train and had no
thing to say only when asked ques-
tions.
'I've Seen My Ghost"
At the county Jail in Glenwood was
only one prisoner, DR.. Bradley, the
man who was caught here charged
with horse stealing and taken to
0lenwood. McGarvey and Bradley
had met each other in the Mesa
county jail. In the course of n con
versation MeGarvey asked Bradley
If the Garfield county fair did not
take place next week. Yes" said
Bradley, "but don't think it will
do you much good" McGarvey re-
piled. mo. reckon I have seen my
last fair
Sheriff Struthers and Under Sher-
in Hardy returned home last night.
McGarvey will be brought to this city
trial on the charge of murder.
The officers are inclined to believe
that McGarvey's story fthe route he
took is true in the main at least. He
seemed to think there was no use
lying and he told the truth when cap
tured last April as to the route he
took when he escaped from town af-
ter attacking the little girl. Other
lead the officers to be-
lieve that his story is true. The dog
that was supposed to have tracked
McGarvey was on another trail and
the several people who thought they
saw McGarvey along certain route
to the southern part of town We're
mistaken.
A search along the bank of the
ditch for the jail keys and the over
alls failed to locate these articles but
1t is not impossible that the overalls
were picked up by some one and the
keys were overlooked by the search
ers.
The announcement that McGarvey
had been captured was received with
pleasure by people of Grand juno
tion who had begun to fear as the
days passed, that the murderer of Ed
Innes had made good his escape.
The hope is generally expressed
that he may have an early and fair
trial and receive the punishment he
so richly deserves. Although there
was very little talk of violence and
the general desire was to allow the
law to take its course the officers,
wanting to be on the safe side,
thought It best to take McGarvey to
Glenwood Springs until the day of
the trial.
The rumor that was circulated to
the effect that McGarvey was brought
to this city on No. 3 taken off the
train at ninth street, placed in a cab
and hurried to the Mesa county jail
and confined there. is absolutely false

captured McGarvey is entitled to the
reward of $500 and he richly deserv-
