city and later identified Edward a
the man who stuck the gun under his
nose and forced him against the wall
where. with his hands above his heal
he watched his gold, silver aud bills
shoveled into sacks and carried fro,n
the building.
The presence of Edwards in Denv"r
was but the very thing the officers ez
pected to follow the taking of Jane

county Jail. True, il is believed ~
wards was there before Wilson arrived.
hut hardly had he landed in the town
when Abrams saw him and he was later

laving claim to the reward for the AZ
rest.
Not only did Mayor Draeh identify
Edwards but G. II. Davis. bank clerk
and the only other official of the bank
present at the robbery. identified thu
man. Harry French of the local forest
office claims the suspect is the man Nc
saw riding down Grand avenue on thu
horses that few minutes later wer"
carrying the robbers away to tn" hills.
Another man is said to have identified
Edwards as the man who rode up to the
place two days after the robbery,
while another man was seen lurking
through the bushes near the ranch
house, but failed to come up with his
pal.
Peter Schebert. the young man. who
on September 20, 1909 was working
FOR o'Neil Richardson in the bot
ting works, was taken to the county
Jail on Thursday evening by Sheriff

with the two horses and after he and
the darker man t1eu theul, Wdiheu o'
through the alley toward Grand avenue
He also said he was one of the two
men. who few minutes later came run
ming down the alley and after unite
ing the horses, mounted them and rode
away.
This was the only link needed to
connect the suspect between the time
the robbers left the sight of Mayor
Drach and Clerk Davis after the rob
berry and the time when they were
seen by the officers making their get
away on the two horses. Aside from
Mayor Drach and Clerk Davis, Peter
is one Of the strongest witnesses the
state has against Edwards.
Simon Hymes, who in August sold a
suit Of cloths to Edwards, identified
the suit worn by the arrested suspect
and as tho cloth and buttons were
easily identified, there could be no
doubt as to Mr.. Hymes having his
story right. Just what bearing this
