ago after 1g.000-mlle chase, today
resumed his journey to the Kentucky
metropolis in custody OF Chief Of De-

ran him down
Beyond short questioning a little

known. to extract a confession from
Vending, the main object of the de-
lay in Denver being TO enable Carney
to get little rest, The Louisville
officers declined to discuss their in-
tcrvfew with Wendling this morning.
The Frenchman's unfailing cheer
fulness was again in evidence when he
faced the curious crowd that had
gathered at the railway station TO
catch glimpse of him He laughed
and ioked with Captain Carney and,
as the train pulled out, waved fare
well to a group of newspaper report
ers and shouted, "Romember, ] an
an innocent man."
Local police officials who watched
vending closely during his stay IN
iail, we're much impressed with the
cheerful bearing OF the prisoner,
which they say appeared genuine, and
they express serious doubts as TO the
mans guilt.
