IN JAIL FOR
MURDER

Charles Philpott was arrested
shortly after 4 o'clock yesterday
afternoon by Deputy Sheriffs But
Ter and Hamlin near Lind, where ne
was working as ranch hand for

ID be tie slayer Of Nels Cole, an
aged rancher, who lived 10 miles
from this city, last March. He was
brought. = the county Jail here

Not only was the murder of Cole
a brutal act, but his slayer tried
to cover up the crime by pinning a
note to the cabin door. supposedly
signed by Cole, announcing that he
had gone away for some time. A
moth later the body Of Cole was
taken from the Spokane river, II
miles below his ranch, his head
beaten into an unacceptable mass.
The first clew obtaied by the Of
ficers was the finding of Coles
team near Occur d'Alene in the
possession Of man who said that
he had bought 1t Of man giving
his name as Charles Williams.
From that time the sherlff's men
have followed the trail Of the hunt
ed man from Boners Ferry to the
valley of the Grand Ronde. They
have also watched the. house Of
1922 Shannon avenue, this city,
where they frequently saw a boy.
whom they now know to be PM
potts son, and who was found with
him yesterday.
Philpott was found stacking hay,
and he at first declined to heed the
call OF the officers. 1t was only
upon peremptory demand that he
came down from the stack and
submitted to arrest. He denies
connection with the murder or the
sale of the horses.
Philpott today made admissions
to the sheriff and the prosecuting
attorney which seem to bear out
the theory Of the sheriff's office
regarding the murder.
While he did not confess that he
had any connection with the crime.
