Patiently the old gentleman had

the hall bedroom below practicing
will zeal which left no room for
criticism, but with a talent by no
means SO kindly described.

OLD FOE RECALLS
GUNMEN OF WEST
Says Some Outlaws Left Partic-
ular Marks on Victims.
TALKS OF BERT CASEY
Former U. 8. Attorney for Oklahoma
Tells How Marshal Fossett Inspired
Three Desperadoes, His Prisoners,
With Respect by Rare Rifle Shot.

Guthrie, Okla.-"It has been the case
frequently that 1t was possible to-
identify the slayer in outlaw days In.
Oklahoma and other sections of the
southwest either by marks on the.
body Of the slain person or the posi-
ton in which the dead body was
found" says Judge Horace Speed OF
Guthrie, who was United States at
torney for Oklahoma for sixteen years
and prosecuted many outlaws and gun.
men.
Speed was first appointed when Ok
lahoma was opened to settlement, in
1889, by President Harrison, and later
served under several other admins
trations. During his days as chief
prosecutor here for the government
he was active against members OF the
Dalton, Doolin and other outlaw gangs.
and studied their ways and methods
as q means OF helping himself In
prosecutions of criminals.
Nearly every outlaw who was a
killer had different method OF treat
ing the bodies Of his Victims" says
Judge Speed.
LAS a rule, the outlaw was very su-
perstitious, and it was for this rea-
son mainly that he would show the
greatest respect for a victims body,
in many instances performing the last
rites In a truly ministerial manner.
Other outlaws, and these were always
OF the most wicked brand, would NAL
treat and disfgure the bodies of their
victims. and it was easy for an officer
who understood these things to tell
at a glance who the killer had been.
"The most bloodthirsty man that
ever came under my observation was
Bert Casey, one Of the last outlaw
leaders in the southwest. He was al
ways with his boots on always ready
to kill, and invariably he marked the
victims bodies In manner that never
failed to reveal that Casey was the
killer.
victims face. He would turn a dead
body over after having killed in order
to kick the face, leaving heel i'm
print on his victim. This, in my opin-
ion, was because Casey was so thor
oughly wicked.
His victims, too, were many, and
the list included not only some of the
travest officers in the country, but al
so members of his own band. for
Casey was also treat5lerous II it hap

acknowledging that it is, he is told
to break it, and he does as directed.
He declares that he felt the match
break, and all those within a rea-
sonable distance have heard it snap.

of all, instead of broken match the
