Chief Of Police Says Woods Could
Not Have Made it TO
Ogden Officers.
IN SALT LAKE JAIL AT TIME.
Records at station Show ColOred Man
Was in Prison Charged With
Stabblng a Negroes.

The alleged statement reported TO
have been made BY Frank Woods, a
negro..ts. -Chief or gsetssstVes james
r Fender OF ogden. 10 the effect that
Woods saw L. Il. Driskell shoot Spe-
cial onicer c. c. Riley. opposite the
Orpheum theater in Salt Lake city,
on the night Of oct 5. and that Woods
saw r. r. Kennedy run TO the as
sistance Of Drisken with two
revolvers." is branded as an absolute
falsehood by Chief Of Police Samuel
Barlow
The records at the police station
show that Woods had been in the city
prison for several days on suspicion
Of having stabbed a negress in the
American house on Commercial street,
prior TO the killing Of Riley: that
Woods was in a cell in the city prison
on the night Riley was killed: and that
Woods was not released until two days
afterwards
The Salt Lake police knew that
Woods went 10 ogden when he was re-
leased; that he went from Ogden TO
Poeatello But the local police were
positive that ne did not see Drisken
shoot Riley, although Chief Barlow
says that he believes that Woods knew
Driskell and Kennedy, and that he
was acquainted with their connec-
ton with Rileys murder.
ALLEGED STATEMENT.
Woods IS reported TO have made the
following statement to the Ogden au-
thorities, after he had been brought
back from roCatello on a charge OF
forging the name Of John Ritter TO a
check made out by II. J.. Griffin. a
produce dealer OF ogden:
Il was standing across the street
when / saw Policeman Riley going to-
ward the Salt Lake police station with
IL T. Driskel and r. T. Kennedy un,
der arrest. Suddenly DrlEkel jerhod
away from the policeman and fired his
revolver Riley fell TO the ground az
Kennedy ran 20 Driskell's assistance
with two rcvolyeTs. one In each hand.
when the men saw the policeman was
down. they broke and ran IN opposite
directions The next day I came 10 Og-
den and saw Driskell. lie asked me n
knew anything about the shooting.
and told him what I had seen lie
told me 20 keep my mouth shut"
WAS IN JAIL AT TIME
Inasmuch as the city prison records
here show that Frank Woods was In
jail on the night Of Rileys murder and
FOR at least two days afterwards, his
whole story il proved 10 be a De, ac-
