Fuller was taken from this city
by officers from Garfield county on
Wednesday and removed to Garfield
county Jail at Glenwood Springs. He
stoutly maintained when questioned
| by Sheriff Schrader that he was in
nocent of the theft of the Griffith
horse and colt, that this mare and
colt were among a bunch of horses
being driven across the country by
man with whom he was travelling
and whose name de said that he did
not know
Yesterday afternoon in the Glen
wood jail Fuller who mad claimed
to be very religious while in Jail
in this city, but who admitted that
he was an eX-convict, broke down
and confessed.
The following dispatch from Glen
wood tells of the confession:
Glenwood Springs. Colo. Aug. 2S.
Crying like a heart-broken ch.-d
with tears streaming down his bronz-
ed cheeks. Harvey Fuller, aged 40,
yesterday morning confessed to
stealing a bunch of horses among
them being a mare belonging to l..
B. Griffith, living near New Castle
The latter had befriended Fuller
taken him into his home and given
him food and shelter on many oc-
casions.
IF | had known it was your horse
Griffith" he sobbed, Il would have
brought it back to you if they had
sent me to the penitentiary. You
were mighty good to me and |
wouldn't do a dirty trick like that. ;"
Griffith was deeply moved by the
prisoners demeanor.
Fuller tried to implicate Harry
Conner in the horse-stealing and of
ficers are now searching for him.
Conner is the son of E. Conner,
prominent rancher. who lives near
New Castle. and the news of Fuller's
confession created sensation in that
neighborhood.
The officers captured Fuller in a
patch of woods near Palisade last
Tuesday while he lay sleeping. Near
him were sheltered a dozen animals,
all stolen from Garfield county far
mers.
On the road near Palisade the dep
uties had met Conner. who asked
them If they were after horses. Re-
ceiving an affirmative reT ly. he told
them that they might find the ami
mails in the woods and directed them
where to go. -Gr
Griffith came to the jail yester-
day morning and had talked but,
few moments to the prisoner when
the latter broke town, and said Con-
ner was his partner.
