PROSECUTOR W00LWlNE
ASKS ARREST OF OWNER
IN BUCKETSH0P CRUSADE
Swears to Complaint Against c. Wes-
ley Roberts, Said to Be Owner and
Manager of Citizens National
Bank Building

Two complaints were issued from
the prosecuting attorneys office yes
terday against C. Wesley Roberts. said
to be one of the owners and managers
of the Citizens National bank build
ing. The complaints charge him with
being the owner and manager or
building and of knowingly renting a
portion of that building for the mainte-
nance of bucket shop.
The charge against Roberts is pun
ishable by a similar sentence as that
given the proprietor of a bucket shop.
1t is said the complaints were sworn
to before Justice Chambers. but the
Justice refused to issue warrants on
the ground that Roberts. who is a
business man of Los Angeles, should
be given an opportunity to state his
side of the case.
Tn to late hour yesterday Mr.. Rob-
erts had not appeared at the court.
Much secrecy was manifested about
c. Wesley Roberts offices in the Citi-
zens National bank building and at
the California club, where he lives,
concerning his probable whereabouts
late in the afternoon. Some inkling of
the trouble had reached the employees
and they became close-mouthed at
once.
Tenants of the Citizens bank build
ing are divided in their opinion on
whether Mr.. Roberts is an actual
stockholder of the building and also
whether he is actually manager. as
some of the building communications
are signed "Allis. manager"
The Roberts Construction company
took the contract for erecting the Citi-
zens' bank building off the hands of
the original contractor, it Is stated,
and the Roberts brothers later became
stockholders in the big reinforced con-
crete pile at Third and Main streets.

FIND BONES AND
HAIR IN CELLAR
SKIN MAY BE PORTION Of
HUMAN SCALP
DAYS DISCOVERIES INCLUDE
VERTEBRATE
Continued Digging Into Premises OF
the Guinness Chamber of Horrors
Brings to Light More Mur-
der Evidence

BY Associated Press.
LAPORTE, Ind, May 14.-Portions
of human Jaw bones and piece OF
skin on which traces of hair appear
and which may prove to be part OF
a human scalp were found late today
in the cellar of the Guinness farm
house.
With one accord the prosecuting or
ficers of the county declared today
that these relics are the most valuable
to their case that have yet been dis
covered.
Today's findings also included several
charred vertebrae, but their value is
doubtful.
Two more watches were found in the
debris of the ruined house. The BODIES
of nine male victims have been un-
earthed, yet the record of watches pe-
longing to men is now ten.
Sheriff Smulzer announced after the
findings of today that he will resume
digging operations with the hope of
uncovering additional skeletons. After
the watches were found today Prosecu-
tor Smith and the sheriff held hurried
consultation, but neither would reveal
the details of their talk.
The attorneys for the defense are
said to be looking for David Havens,
who. it is reported. aided in uncover
ing the bodies of the persons WHOM
Ray Lamphere is accused of murder
ing.
According to the information cur
rent they claim that Havens was de-
clared an undesirable citizen by Sher-
iff Smulzer and ordered away from
Laporte shortly after the fire. The
attorneys also claim that Havens has
declared that when the bodies were
found in the cellar of the Guinness home
on April 2S they were lying on the
floor and that there was no debris
under. them. They assert that testi-
mony to this effect at the trial viii do
much to clear their client of the
charges against him, arguing that the
circumstances show that the bodies
had been placed in the cellar previous
to the beginning of the fire which de-
stroyed the farm house.
The testimony of other men who
helped Sheriff Smulzer uncover the
corpses and of the sheriff himself is
against this supposition. In addition
the findings of physicians who exam"
ined the corpses established the fact
that the persons burned were clothed
in night robes and that remains of bed
ding and mattresses were also present

session are fleeing through the rugged
mountain passes north of French, a
little station eighty miles from East

clutches of the law.

and special guard, blew open the safe,
took the money and rode away, leaV-
ing their victims helpless.

half an hour later, released the almost
unconscious men and gave the alarm.

wired to every town in the nelgnDor-
hood of French. and a special train
bearing thirty deputies and fifty horses
left East Las Vegas in half an hour,
hot on the trail of the fleeing bandits
A special with four men left Dawson
also, and a message was sent to the
territorial penitentiary at Santa Fe for
bloodhounds, which were brought
through as fast as a special engine
and car could carry them.
The stolen money was sent from Al

the mines. A special transfer of the
money was necessary at French. A
special guard, heavily armed. accom-

safe and locked the doors to the depot.

while the other bandits entered the
