that I felt that l did not want the job of arresting him. l had a feeling something akin to that which prevents a person from eating rabbit or other animal after it has been a pet about the house. It was my conviction that Neill and Woods should be arrested and brought to justice. but l could not get over the feeling that wanted some one else to arrest Woods would have been perfectly willing to arrest Neill when the time came.
 Realizing that the duty of arrest ing Woods was such d disagreeable one that I was not going to do 1t if I could get some one else, I felt it my duty to tell the county officers of the murder, and also where they could find the body. This I did. but as have already said, the officers refused to take my story seriously. It seemed utterly impossible to them that Neill and Woods would be guilty of such a crime I know of Pulliam and Francis having said that they believed l was going crazy. or else carrying a josh to an extreme"
 The reporter called MT. Olds' atten- ton to the fact that while he implicat ed Neill in the murder, that he talked only of Woods. To this MT Olds said:
 A Woman's Warning.
 "Neill is as deep in the crime as the the other fellow. Woods told me so, and everything goes to prove that he was. The letter now in possession of the officers which was received by Schwartz in which he was advised to get out of the country at once, is in the handwriting of a woman, with whom Neill was unduly intimate, My theory about the letter is that Neill had intimated to this woman that Schwartz would be made away with. and that she, fearing that Neill would get into trouble had wTitten Schwartz this letter
 "Nein and Woods together took Schwartzs partner, Stevens. to the dam and started to drown him. as can be easily proved. My personal opinion is that it was Nein who committed the deed, because that while Neill and Woods are both cowardly. Neill is more -blooded. Neill and Woods both hated the detectives, Schwartz and Stevens. Neill knew that he was being shadowed by them in connection with his clandestine relations with the woman and Woods had had trouble with schwartz over another matter.
 The Matter of Reward.
 q understand that publicity has been given to the fact that I tried to get a reward offered for the murder of Schwartz I freely admit that l sug- eested 70 Tom Pulliam that he ought to try to get a reward offered, because the sheriff's office is certainly entitled to it. considering the hard work con nected with working up a case of this kind Friends of Neill and Woods, l have been told. have tried to show that I had an ulterior or selfish motive in trying to get a reward offered. To disprove such islander, I need only say that when I mentioned this matter to the officers. I said that did not want anything out of it myself. and would not accept a single cent if it were of fered me.
 s'I am not sorry the case has been continued It is such a cold-blooded affair that the more people think about it the more sentiment will develop against the murderers, and the more apt they will be to get justice. When the case comes to trial do not think there will be any difficulty in proving that NeiIl and Woods have jointly committed one of the most cowardly and dastardly murders in the history of Arizona or any other country.
