DiSinclined TO Talk.

When French first came to Salt Lake
he refused 10 even tell why he was here
lie would not talk with newspaper men
but ntimatcd to several local people that
he had Il scheme which was going TO put
Utah OH the map, or something to that
effect He claimed IL is said, TO have
enormous resources back of him.
\ few days later eighteen capitalists
went into session al their conference

While French never would discuss the
project himself. hc finally admitted that
Ii certain things could be arranged tina,
certain things would be done, presumably
iu connection with Utahs Iron deposits.
General Otis ISSUED "A statement In which
Inc admitted that the party WAS consider
ing the development Of Utah iron and
coal deposits. Former Governor Gillctt
and others in the company also talked
more or less on the projects under dls-
ctIssioD on account OF the known repu-
tation and financial character OF some
of the party, the reports and statements
we're considered as more or less authen-
tic But French remained as silent as
a sphinx regarding the things under con-
tcnpia lion and tic things that might he

Blood on Handkerchief.

Marks of blood noticed on hand

murder, further convince the police
that Williams bad part in the muir
dcrs. When Williams was searched
Sunday morning at the police station
tho marks of blood passed observation,
but in examining Williams S posses
sions again last night the blood marks
were noticed
Williams was arrested when he was
found walking by himself near First
West street and Tenth South shortly
after the murder had been committed.
He said he roomed at the Salvation
Army roomng house in Orpheum ave-
nue. aud he could give no reason for be-
ing in the southwest part of the city
at 1880 O'Clock 1t night. Inquiry made
at the Salvation Army rooming house
yesterday revealed the fact that Will
liams was not known there at all.
Williams is being held in the city
iail. He refused TO make any state
meuts to the officers yesterday. The
search by the police for Frank Il. VII
son still continues. Wilson was re-
Gently IN inmate of the state prison
and has been arrested frequently on
burglary charges. After an absence
from Salt Lake of several weeks he was
known to have returned n few days
ago. The police believe he may know
something of the murders.
The description of the men who held
Anderson up does not tally with the
description Of the men who murdered
Morrison and his son. The police are
still Of the belief that one of the men
who murdered Morrison is perhaps seri-
ously wounded and safely in hiding
within the city limits.
Bandits Are Masked.
Anderson, according to his story, was
held up on Eighth South street near
Sixth West He said two masked men
Of the same height approached him,
ordering him to put up his hands. When
he refused to Immediately obey their
command, he said, they fired at him
at close range. One bullet pierced
his left arm directly below the
elbow Anderson said $ll.60 was taken
from him, after which the men Hed.
They ran east TO Fifth West street, be
said, after which he was unable to trace
them.
Anderson walked 10 the emergency
hospital at the police station, arriving
there about forty-6vc minutes after he
had been shot. The wound was dressed
by Dr.. II. b. Sprague and from the size
OF the hole in Anderson S arm it was
thought the lead was from IL .3S-cah.
