OFFICERS SCOUT
PRESTON RUMOR
Story Is That Prisoner Con-
feSSeS to Implication in
Clark Murder.

story which gained considera bic
publicity yesterday in both salt Lake
City and Ogden, to the effect that con-
ficials tended to prove that one James
Preston, now in custody at the salt
Lake county Jail, was implicated in the
murder of Deputy Sheriff Seymour L.
Clark near Uintah two months ago
now appears to have been without any
real foundation.
The story. as il went the rounds, was
TO the effect that Preston, who was ar
rested in Salt Lake FIVE days ago BIZ
Deputy Sheriff Carlson on a charge OF
passing a worthless check had con-
fessed to his wife that he had been
present at the shooting of Clark. and
that the wife had in turn repeated the
confession to Deputy Carlson.
Deputy Carlson last night made the
positive statement that Mrs. Preston
had never made a statement to him re-
ferring in any way to her husband
having been mixed up in the affair
which resulted in the death of Deputy
Clark.
As to whether Preston himself had
made any such confession, the deputy
was reticent. but permitted the infer
ence that some such statement had
Deeu mace Preston Is known TO be q
dope" fiend, and when Intercepted
regarding what Preston had said Dep
uty Carlson only remarked: You know
the dreams dope fiends have some
tinles?" This was followed by the re-
mark; 80 far as Mrs. Preston max
ing any statement to ne that he had
been connected with the murder of
Clark, why. some people have been hav-
ing Just as big pipe dream as Pres
ton"
Rumor has it that Preston said that
he and man named Burns planned to
rob a box car of a quantity OF shoes.
They had planned also to have a man
named Shine drive from Kaysville and
haul the shoes to salt Lake City, where
they were to be disposed Of Six boxes
of shoes were thrown from the car.
Burns, according to the story, carried a
Colts revolver, also a Browning 81
calibre. When Deputy Sheriffs Clark
and Murphy drove up he and Burns
thought II was Shine, but when the
officers announced themselves he ran
away and heard the shots as he
ran. He met Burns two days after the
murder and asked him why he killed
the officer. Burns replied, Il had TO
cop the officer in order to get away
The story is not taken seriously at
the sheriff7s office and the idea that
Preston was connected with the muir
der is secuted He is only held on the
forgery charge, and will be arraigned
on this within the next few days.
