II have no doubt but that Arm

County Attorney Shotwell. Il think
the evidence is sufficient. l believe
| shall be able to submit enough tes-
timony within an hour to convince
the police court judge that there is
nothing else to do but to order these
men to face trial for the killing Of
Eugene Scott.
Mr.. ShotweIl declared it was not
necessary for the state to prove any
thing at the preliminary hearing.
The fact that Armstrong was
heard by several witnesses to shout,
while he was in pursuit Of the ne
gro, Kill the -" is sufficient
grounds on which to bind that Of
ficer over for the district court, and
the fact that Brigham admits he
fired two shots, one of which is
said to have been aimed straight at
Scott, is ground enough to raise
question as to whether Brigham or
Holman is responsible for the fatal
shot. This will hold Brigham.
Beyond all doubt, l belive both
policemen will be held for trial in
the district court"

Detective George Armstrong, who
with Officer George Brigham is
charged with manslaughter in con-
nection with the murder of Eugene
Scott, negro bellboy at the Plaza
hotel, Saturday, rendered his resig-
nation to Chief of Police Eberstein,
and the police chief refused to &C
cept it.
This information was given out
yesterday by an official of the de-
partment, who asked the reporter
not to publish his name. He de-
clared if his name was used in con-
nection with the statement, it
would provoke the wrath of the
heads of the department, whose
plans are said to contemplate white
wash.
Will Defend Them
The fact that the police chief
would not accept Armstrong; res
ignation is taken as an indication
that Commissioner Ringer and
Eberstein are determined to defend
the two officers to the very limit,
regardless of their guilt or inno-
cence.
1t has been announced that Edgar
Holman, the Union Pacific watch
man, who also is implicated in the
shooting which resulted in SCOTS
death, would waive preliminary
hearing when the case is called
Wednesday morning in police court.
The Waterman, it was said, is act
ing on the advice of Eugene O'Sul-
livan. his attorney.
Discrepancy in Testimony.
Holman's purpose in waving a
preliminary hearing is to take ad-
vantage of discrepancy in the tes-
timony submitted at the inquest by
Officer Brigham, it was said. Brig
ham declared on the stand that he
was armed with a .38 special Smith
& Wesson revolver the night of the
murder. He also said he carried an
automatic revolver last June and
that this weapon was 81 caliber
gun.
Charles Pipkin. former city de-
tective, since Brigham's statement
at the inquest, declared he loaned
an automatic revolver to the officer
when he was appointed policeman
a short while ago. He said it was
a .38 caliber weapon and he was
positive Brigham carried this auto
matte a few nights before Brigham
was killed.
Union Pacific railroad officials, it
is said, will charge that some one at
the police station took Brigham's
revolver out of the safe, after it had
been locked up with Holman's, and
kept for several hours. Michael
Dempsey, special investigator for the
county attorney, was told Brig
hams revolver was locked up at the
police station. When he called to
see it the day following the murder,
it had disappeared.
Later the revolver was found, and

nual or semi-annual period specl-
fled. For promotion from one grade
to another, the recommendation OF
the secretary heading the depart
ment and the approval of the gov
ernor will be required. New en-
ployes will be appointed by the

recommendation.
