w. J. WILSON RELEASED.
Man Who Vowed Vengeance Against
Two Salt Lake Citizens Again Free.

It is very probable that j. II. Me-
Chrystal and John Q. Packard will
migrate to other climes as soon as
they hear of the action OF the county
officials in regard to the release of w.
j. Wilson. who is claimed to have
come from Colorado for the special
purpose OF killing the two men mem
toned but who was arrested upon his
arrival in the city. A complaint was
issued against Wilson upon his arrest
to place him under bonds to keep the
peace. His bond was fixed at 81, 900 in
default OF which he has been in jail
for several weeks.
County Attorney Hanson yesterday
dismissed the complaint against him
as he had been unable TO secure
enough evidence to hold him longer
so Sheriff Emery was instructed TO
turn the man loose today. Wilson has
served time In Colorado for murder
and also killed two men In this state
but escaped punishment for both oil
account of his mental condition.
He has the delusion that McChrystal
and Packard have defrauded him In
some mining transaction at Tlntic
years ago and has avowed his inten-
ton OF killing them. 1t Is believed
that the man Is insane hut as yet no
one has offered TO swear 10 a COM
plant against him 10 have him ex-
amined as 10 his sanity so nothing
has been done along that line. II Is
very probable that either Mr.. Nc
Chrystal or Mr. Packard will take
such action and have the man COM
mitted to Provo.
