STARR MADE BANDIT
 HISTORY IN EARLY | DAYS IN COLORADO
[RepubIIcan A. p. Leased u1,-.1


 TT DEN FIR, Feb. 19-In June 1Se2 ,eiry starr the bandit, who was shot f1arrlson, Ark. in an attennted ssouup' was arrested in Colorado springs for the robbery of the Ben eMJu.srne M.s bank With him was John ,niu) Lewis, Starr's lieutenant and partner in many robberies.
 A. w. Brown. now superintendent or private detective agency in Den yer, was a deputy United States mar shal in this district and was detailed 10 lake Starr and Lewis to Arkansas ana deliver them to the federal au- thorities there.
 Starr was just 21 years old then. , M Brown said today. Lewis was only IS, but a more cold blooded pair never have seen. Not that they were suf1y at all; they were as well be- naNed during the trip as any boys on pleasure trip. laughing and joking all the way.
 rDown in Kansas we stopped at a little town for dinner Across frors .hf railway station was a nice white bank. Lewis looked out at the bank lorgingly, and then Starr and he gripned at each other.
 ffCome on, Brown said Lewis se- riously, come on and lend us a gun. We can go over to the little bank and draw some spending money and get back before the train starts
 In Monett. Mo, big man carrying rifle entered our car and introduced himself as the United States marshal Tor the district of BentonVille Behind him were eight deputies-alI of them armed with rifles. It looked queer to me at the time, but the marshal of fered no explanation save that it was precautionary measure. He also ad- vlsed me to change trains at Rogers Junction, Ark, as I had expected to do. His excuse was that the other railroad did not offer so good accom- modations.
 Tt was on the night of July 1. 1898 that we pulled into Rogers Junction Before the train stopped a line of men crowded along both sides of the track It seemed funny to me that we were getting such big reception, and ] walked to the front of the car.
 TAs l entered the vestibule a big raw -boned man swung up on the step
 Say. you got Starr and Lewis on this train?' he asked.
 -fYes, I answered.
 well, bring 'em out or show us where they are the man said. We're goin' to lynch them.'
 Then l noticed that the man car ried long rope. One Of the Arkansas deputies was guarding the prisoners and had taken off my gun, but I had big revolver that Lewis had given me
 
 fl jerked this gun out and stuck il against the mans forehead. You get off that step, or I'll blow the whole top of your head off I told him.
 iThe man backed up. but a gang of the mob came rNnning to help him There was clicking sound behind me and l turned to see the eight deputy marshals with their rifles cooked and pointing out both sides of the car. The crowd backed away at the sight of sc many guns and the train began to move out of Rogers
 That marshal knew that the people of Rogers Junction were planning to capture th1 bandits and lynch them That was why he and his deputies met me at Monett."
 Brown still has the revolver given him by Kid" Lewis. Lewis was sen tenced to IS years in the Arkansas state penitentiary for the Bentonville robbery.

 The witness testified that after the shooting he saw Sid Hatfield, Matewan police chief, who is a defendant. in a crowd of men and said that Hatfield remarked that he, Hatfield, killed Felts.
