HOLDUP SUSPECTS CAUGHT
Six Men Arrested on Suspicion of
Auburn Murder.
TAKEN TO THE NEMAHA TOWN
Traced to Omaha by an Auburn Off
Ger and Landed I'm Jail Here
by Local Detectives in
Two CIiques.

Six men have been arrested In Omaha
as suspects in connection with the murder
Of p. d. Ailor of Auburn in that city Sat
urday night. They will be taken back to
Auburn by Detective Murphy of Omaha
and Deputy w. II. Jones OF Auburn, sent
here by sheriff Rohrs of Nemaha county.
These men were all in Auburn the day
before the murder, operating some sort of
a chance or gambling wheel at a fair, and
they were missed from the town imme-
diately after the murder. That is one Of
the strongest circumstances in the case
involving them.
These suspects were arrested at 2:5O Mon.
day morning by Detectives Maloney,
Patullo and Van Dusen; w. NJ. Drinkwatcr,
a half-breed Indian, who gives his resi-
dence as st. Joseph; John Grensiel, who
says he lives at Mart, Tex. and Raymond
Palmer. Lincoln. All say they are horse
men by occupation. These three were ar
rested by Detective Donahue: w. ]. NC
lntyre, who said he lived at the Lyons
hotel on Thirteenth, between Dodge street
and Capitol avenue; James Gaynor and
Herman Weber, who gave the Drexel as
their place of abode. The first two said
they were railroad men, and Weber said
he was a waiter.
Incidentally the hotels at which these
men said they resided disclaim the honor,
The Drexel admits the name James Gaynor
adorned its register Sunday night.
These fellows were traced to Omaha
from Auburn by Deputy Jones. He found
where their baggage went and they were
arrested by the Omaha officers at the
places where they stopped without any
trouble.
The police have the description of a sew
enth man who may be the actual perpetra-
tor of the deed and who is thought to be
in Auburn still.
Ailor was a real estate man and was
held up by thugs on his way to his home
Saturday night about II o'clock. He re-
sisted the footpads and was shot five times
for his courage.
The night before a store was robbed al
Paul, Neb., and a razor taken in the booty
was found near the scene of the Alloi
holdup. This leads to the suspicion tina
the same men who killed Ailor robbed thi.
