Cripple Creek.-James L. Bacon,
mining man and former Colorado
legislator, returning from Denver,
where he attended the funerals of his
wife, Ida, and his stepdaughter, Jo-
Sc phine Davidson, killed in an explo-
sion which wrecked the Bacon home
here April 2Sth, was arrested by Sher-
placed the dynamite in the kitchen
stove which resulted in the deaths of
two and the injury to himself.
Bacon had nothing to say when
taken into custody, and accompanied
the sheriff to prison, where he is be-
ing held without bail. He refused to
talk with the sheriff until given an
opportunity to consult with an attor-
ney. The warrant for Bacon's arrest
was sworn out secretly by the sher-
III ten days ago, but it was not served
says that official, until damaging evi-
oence was cleaned through investiga-
tlons and shadowing of Bacon. When
Bacon went to Denver for the funer-
ais of his wife and stepdaughter he
vas accompanied by two deputy sher-
ifs.
The sheriff says that he bases the
charge against Bacon on conflicting
stories told by Bacon after his recov-
cry, and on the statement of County
Physician ]. H. Hereford, who is re-
rorted to have said that Bacon was
feigning unconsciousness at the hos
pital. One story Bacon told the sher-
iff was that he was in the house at
the time of the explosion and the 9th
er was that he was just outside the
door.
Bacon is accused by the authorities
of having caused the explosion which
killed his wife and stepdaughter and
injured him SO that he spent several
weeks in a hospital The explosion
was at first thought to have been ac-
c;dental, resulting from an attempt to
thaw dynamite in a kitchen stove
even. Later, Bacon recovered and
gave his version of the affair, in
which he declared his belief that enc
E,ies had blown up the house. To
substantiate this, he told of having re-
ceived threatening letters. The coro-
ner's inquest failed to clear the mys-
terry, a verdict of death as the result
OF an explosion, with cause unknown,
being rendered.
