DAVID WOODS
BROUGHT
BACK
SAID TO HAVE WITNESSED A
SALT LAKE TRAGEDY.
Charged With Forgery, but is Held
for a More Serious Crime
Woods Is "Oopc Fsend."

Police Officer o. II. Mohlman re-
turned from Boise. Idaho. this morn
ing. having in custody David Woods.
a negro. charged with forgery The
complaint against Woods Is that he
forged the name of John 7. Ritter TO
a check drawn by II. l. Griffin In
favor of Ritter. The forgery was
committed by endorsing the check on
the back In Mr.. Ritter's name.
While the officers are glad TO land
Woods in jail, with the hope OF ulti-
mately bringing him to justice for the
alleged forgery, they also feel they
have captured an important witness
TO the murder of officer Riley In Salt
Lake a few weeks ago Woods is
suspected of being the negro who was
associated with Driscoll and Kennedy
In certain robberIes and thefts COM
mitted in Ogden a short time ago,
and that he Is the negro who stood
across the street as lookout in Salt
Lake when O11cer Riley was shot
down.
Driscoll is charged with the muir
der Of Riley. and. 1t is said by the
Salt Lake officers, he has confessed
his guilt,
Detective Pender is certain that
Woods knows all about the murder,
and that his testimony may directly
implicate Kennedy, Driscolls partner.
Officer Mohlman states that Woods
is an inveterate dope iiend," and
that, while under its influence, talks
so incoherently and tells so many
different stories. that it is difficult to
determine just what he does know.
The negro will be given sweat
ing" this afternoon regarding the
Riley murder. The officers think
they have a clear case OF forgery
against Woods
