When I mako these statements d.
not think that I am theorizing, for l
am not. 1 hsve absolute evidence 60
o owe every assertion that I make and
make no assertions until ! nave the
evidence.
Beginning with the murder OF ar

g. ss;nation OF Martin GLEASON Of tie
Wild hcrse in Cripple Creek, the kill
ing cf Smith and Barn S in Telluride,
the hearsiess destruction Of fourteen
men at the Independence depot in
Cripple Creek, the brutal assault OF
old man Stewart at Gol,'fsld, the
killing OF L3te Gregory in West Den.
yer two years ago, the 6eatn OF Wal
: ley and the murder OF other men in
this state and Idaho, who had iEcai-
red their enmity-all Of these crimes
can be, and will be, il necessary, laid
at doors of men we all know, but
they will never be punished for them
''Tleir last work, the assassination
OF the popular ex executive Of Idaho,
proved their undoing, and when they
have accounted for this deed it will
be impossible to p1n!sa them for what
they bava d)ne in Colorado and for
the reign OF terror that they have ere.
ated anoDg the honest and aa-abid
ing people nf this state.
When the full history Of these
Colorado c;imes WILL be given to tie
world I cannot state, but it will be
just az soon as we possibly can do 1t.
1 i will shock the people CT ants state.
but they must kuoR about it. FJr
the present, only the story OF the
SteureE berg assassination can be
made public and this will be dlVulged
as soon as the nan we ha7e already
arrested ard these that we are accu5
to arrest are plsc.d CT trial tcr tLeir

There are jlss as cnod me2 in the

OF men that Tad go5 rt-Ol ever
them. Every nenoerot lDe Western
Federation Of Mn rs who dared to
oppose the wishes Of these men stood
in fear OF his life, and ths1e will be
many signs OF relief wEea these men
are removed ana the sun fnally sets
on the day OF oynamiters in the West
and the strong arm O; Inc law metes
ouI justice.
Il say urquali6edly that the crimes
and OPERATORS OF these men are the
most horrible that I have ever head
Ct. As said before, tDe Molly Ma
guires were nothing compared With
these men.

my case to use some Of his statements
