SURE PUEBLO BANDIT IS
man Who KILLED BAKER

After short trial in the district
court at Pueblo, c. C. Collins, who ten
days ago held up street car in that
city, robbing the conductor and pass
engers of about $1O0, was found guilty
of highway robbery and his sentence
deferred until August Z
Late developments show that Collins
is in all probability the same man
who held up a traction car here on
July 21, shooting Conductor George
Schmidt through the hand when he
refused to obey the highwayman's
command to throw up his hands. And
if is more than likely that Collins
is the same highwayman who about
o'clock the morning following the
hold-up of the street car near the
sanitarium, shot and killed James Ba-
ker, night manager at the Meridian
restaurant on Railroad avenue.
Evidence Almost Conclusive

carefully guarded himself for fear he
would say something that would con
meet him with the two Las Vegas
crimes, and although he vigorously de
Inies any connection with the hold-uT
and murder in this city, the evidence
duplicating him in both crimes, is al

White Plains, N. Y, Aug. 4.-Thaw's

Morschauser amused those in the

putation of the witness by producing

abled DR.. Flint to explain that he did
not authorize the endorsement and
threatened legal action If 1t was used.

illustrations the danger of releasing a

notes in a small note book found in
the pockets of Collins at the time of

the correctness of the theory that Col
