funny sta tement.
But the fact is that when the attor-
neys learned that the money had been
shipped to Butte, they were not nearly
so anxious to defend the man as before.
Mrs. Paisley wife of the suspected
man, declares her firm belief In the in.

Paisley is printer by trade, but has
led rather wild career. He was sem
fenced TO two terms In the Cannon city
prison for robbery. The first sentence
was for from TO 10 years. and the
second for Ia years. In view OF the
fact that he is not yet 80 years old, It
Is quite certain that he secured a par
don from the prison.
According TO the Butte papers. the
officials of that city are firm I'm the
belief that McGarvey has captured the
right man. They do not say that the
case against him is complete, but that
they are confident OF making a strong
case and Of securing his conviction.
IL he is convicted, a reward OF 1000
