JIM TOLD HIM so.

Sheets had 30 hand in this with Don
GldsOn.
JIM TOLD HIM so.
IN explaining this extraordinary state
ment Mr.. King said he was sure OF
II because Donaldson told him go.
Continuing his fairy story. Mr.. King
went on to state that the McWhlrters
lost their money IN a fair and straight
game Of cards and what is more to the
point the winning hand was dealt by
the McWhlrters, or words to that ef-
feet
Jim Donaldson left town because he
thought he was about to be arrested
on the charge Of gambling continued
Baron Machausen King with gusto,
and after he left salt Lake he had
nothing more 10 do with the gang
How about Donaldson and the
o'Briens being seen together In Den
yer?' was asked.
Attorney King did some rapid think
ing and then said with n smile "Oh,
that was an accident pure accident
ENTERTAINED DENVER POLICE.
The story Of the movements of Dom
aldson and the two O'Brlens IN Den
Yer makes very interesting reading.
incidentally It may be stated that Il
was not related by Attorney King.
When Donaldson arrived in Denver
he did not hide his light under a bushel
by any means. on the contrary he
called at police department and took
the chief detective and two other off
GERS out for q time which included a
dinner at Jim's expense. 1t is passing
strange that the officers did not recog-
nize in their host the versatile doctor"
who was worth $500 to any man who
would return him this sldc,uD with care
TO sheriff Emery. II is still stranger
when It Is recorded that the Denver po-
lice had a picture and a full descrip-
ton Of both Jim Donaldson and the
O'Briens in their possession which had
been forwarded TO them by Sheriff
Emery. But because Sheriff Emery
had butted IN on this proposition. or
for some other reason, the officers de-
clined TO make some easy money.
Had the Denver police done their
duty the entire gang would have now
been behind the bars in Salt Lake.
incidentally II IL pleasing TO note
that the most friendly relations nave
existed between the police depart
ments Of Salt Lake and Denver.
UNCLE JIM WAS TIRED.
Doctor jim Donaldson looks hag-
gard and worn. At $3.50 this morning
he sent out to restaurant for a
breakfast OF ham, eggs and coffee He
did not eat much, however, and re-
turned the tray and contents prac-
tically untouched. Jim needed the
stimulant OF drug more than he did
solid food. II Is the first time he has
ever occupied a prison cell. say the
officers. and he Is taking the expert
ence hard. His great and all abiding
request Is that no be released on bonds
just as soon as possible.
With this object In view Atty. King
started out bright and early 70 see
whether he could make arrangements
for rapid arraignment and tho pros
rective bonds.
The burning desire seems 20 be 10
get the Donaldson case over with as
soon as possible. before the O'Brlen
brothers are caught.
Sheriff c. Frank Emery, accom-
panied by County Atty Christensen
and Asst. County Atty, Hanson went
down TO Provo at o'clock last night,
where they laid over until No. came
along four hours late. The Salt LAX
ers met the train NJ 2:20 a. m. and
came on TO salt Lake with the two
prisoners
