 Wednesday evening, about S:30, Lee son and his wife, the former being
 manager of the McNeal Mercantile Company, returned from their ranch

 and stretched out in the machine lo
 enjoy the breeze. The night was dark and the next Leeson remember
 ed was being asked by a man, who
 had come up beside the machine, for a drink of water The man was told where water could be found
 The stranger then retired behind the machine and held consultation with another man in whispers and in a language from which Leeson could determine nothing. A moment later one man came from the rear Of the automobile and, placing a gun in the merchants face. demanded that he get out of the car and enter the house with them
 Lesson. knowing the front door of the store was locked, endeavored to steer the robbers that way Appar- ently they understood the premises however and directed him to enter the rear door which was open, and through which Mrs Leeson had en- tered but a few minutes before
 With the two men behind him Lee son entered his living room and then started into the office. He endeavor- ed to warn his wife in several ways, while she was checking up the cash register The robbers warned him several times, however but not with out allowing Mrs. Lees0n to discover what was afcot and hiding consid- erable amount of sold about her per son which was outside Of the drawer of the register a, the time

C0nsc- quently. the officers returned at once to Lowell and at a Finnish roomin house in Upper Lowell found his room in which he was asleep at the time, . and arrested him.
 Huneo trenuousiy denied having been at NcNeal during the night Of the evening before He denied all compHcity in the robbery A search . of the room in which he was found . revealed several things which would . lead the officers to become decidedly !. sus picious.
 In dark corner. far under the mans bed. was found an old stra" hat. In this hat was approximately S35. Twenty of this amount was a gold piece-a gold piece of the sama size had been stolen from Lecson. The balance. with the exception of few . dollars. was in change under the de- nomination of a dollar, even including some pennies.
 A further search resulted in the finding of a search light which might have been used for any purpose good ] or bad, and black cloth, cut from an old shirt. which, when pieced together formed excellent masks All Of thi5 was confiscated and is now being held by the officers as exhibits.
 The arrested man claims that Che money, found in his room, must nave been placed there by someone else. l He denies any knowledge of the mask cloth. He denies being in McNeal, which bil mother and relatives assert was a fact
