for the interests of Ruth Deardolf
He has been indefatigable in his pur-
suit of information that would tend
to uncover the criminal history of j
NJ Sanders, who was killed in q
brothel Saturday night after he mac
shot and mortally wounded Constapie
Ed Gilbert.
Believing that the dead man had
had deeper motive than revenge foi
fancied grievance as had been sug-
gested, and that he feared arrest 1oi
| past crimes, Attorney Reeves, IN the
| interests of the woman, began his IN
vestigation.
Learning originally that Sanders
had lived for many years In the
southwest, a number OF habltues ol
the underworld were questioned as
to Sanders antecedents. From them
has been learned story of crime
and desperate bravado that is more
thrilling than are found in the penny
dreadfuls read by idle school boys.
Seal of Fear Removed.
The death of this man had re-
moved the seal of fear from the lips
of those who had known the man In
life. When it was known that ne
was dead and could not wreak upon
them summary vengeance, they spoke
willingly and volubly of the man and
his career.
Sanders participated in Santa Fe
train robbery in Indian Territory
near Ardmore about three years ago,
In which a big haul was made and
Sanders was the only man of the gang
who escaped. One of the members OF
the gang was killed by the iran, ,
messenger, the other was captured
and was afterward convicted.
