Held for Burglary and Thought
to Know Something of
Clark Murder.
Special TO The Tribune.

Special TO The Tribune.
OGDEN, May 5.-The last and what
was at one time thought to he the most
direct clue to the identity of the box car
robber, who killed Deputy Sheriff Sey-
mour Clark at uintah. the evening oil
November 2S last. was abandoned today
when Herbert Preston. who has been
held a. the county jail for several months,
was released from custody and the charge
Of box car robbery against him was dis
missed
Preston was arrested at Salt Lake city
and brought to Ogden after he had made
confession In the presence OF ofncers
from both cities, which Tailed in every
detail with clues upon which they had
been working. He declared that he was
with man named Burns the night the
deputy sheriff was killed. He also said
that the shooting was done by Burns and
that after hearing the shot he ran sev-
train TO Salt Lake and stayed under cover
In that city for several days. To add to
tho apparent authenticity OF his story
was a statement made by Preston's wile
TO local officers. in which she declared
that Preston returned to his home in salt
Lake the next morning after the shoot-
ing with a bullet wound in his leg. Whlcn
was distracted by quack doctor on
Commercial street.
The officers. after hearing the woman S
story, readily concluded that they had
one OF the men responsible for the death
OF Clark After his Incarceration at the
county jail Preston. who IS said to have ,
story and declared that he had nothing
10 do with the affair; was not present al
the time, and did not know the man who
had been referred to as Burns, who was
said TO have done the shooting.
Mrs. Preston also denied that she had
ever made statement OF an ihcrimlnat-
ing nature against her husband, every
effort since 10 obtain statement from
the Prestons corroborating their first
voluntary statements have proven fruit
less Fearing that the evidence would
not be sufficient TO hold Preston on the
charge OF murder or as an accessory, ne
was charged with burglary. and several
weeks ago was bound over 10 the district
court for trial. After endeavoring TO OBJ
tain sufficient evidence which would war
rant Prestons trial, the district sttor-
ney and the officers decided that he ought
TO be released
What prompted Preston and his wife
to make the first startling statements is
one OF the many mysterious things in
connection with the whole case which the
officers have not yet solved.
