county jail, and formally turned over to
United States Marshal Warner. His leg
irons and handouts were removed in the
jailer's office and he was then given into
the custody of Sheriff Bradley. Marvin
was very reticent and declined to sub
nit to any sort OF an interview. Shortly
after arriving at the county jail, his attor-
ney, Harry B. Fleharty, had short con-
ference with him.
"Bill Matthews is not much given to
talking" said Marshal Beemer. 'He had
very little to say all the trip down from
Boise. We had no trouble with him what
ever. We left Boise at noon Monday, and
got away without any of his friends know
ing about it, as the impression had gone
out that we had started with him Satur-
day, and we didn't care to remove the
impression"
