 All this and much more was told him. His protestations of innocence became less frequent and less em- phatic. Finally, as argument and per suasion were poured in; as his duty to his parents and his wife, in easing the suspense for them; as his duty to the murdered mans family and to the state were laid before him, and as the futility of his trying to get away from the mass of damning evidence that was sure to convict him, was empha- sized, he weakened. At first he said:
 "Well, there's another day coming. 1 can think it over."
 Then, a few minutes later, he yield ed, and told the story, choking with emotion and pale.
 After confessing, Harry seemed to feel lot better. He apparently was glad to get the story, which, he said, he never had told anyone else, off his mind.
 He is only boy, a big, good-looking boy. Twenty-two now, he was only Fl when the murder occurred. He ap- pears sociable, good-natured, like able chap; somewhat reckless, per haps, but not one who would get into serious trouble except through that prevailing trait of recklessness. It is hard to believe that his act was pre- meditated. It is easy, when talking with him, to believe the killing hap t,a,aI Ct a- ha hap tnII ,t ,v,h h;c, fession. He is about 5 feet 10; weighs about 165 pounds, has hazel eyes and nearly black hair.
 Nash, whose sensational capture by six Los Angeles policemen, a week ago last Monday, was told in The Sun last week, was brought here in irons Sunday afternoon by Sheriff Wm. A. Campbell and Under-Sheriff Billy O'Brien, and at once locked in the county jail. Accompanying them was Wm. (Buffalo) Brady, noted in the north as fancy roper and broncho buster, who came as a witness, will ingly.
 Anna Nash ("Peggy", as she is known at the rodeos), Harry's wife, is sick with measles at her boarding house in Los Angeles. Roy Nash, Harry's brother, is ill with typhoid at Santa Barbara. His mother is with him. J. C. Nash, of Hillsdale, Wyom- ing, the rich banker, father of the two Nash boys, will be here soon.
 There have been so many frag- mentary stories published, that per. haps the best way is to tell the story with it's latest developments chronolo- gically.
 Harry Nash and his wife arrived here, she says, in March. It Is prob able, however, that they got here on April 8. Both are p. Harry was born in Hillsdale, Wyo. He has all ways been pretty wild, his father says. The latter set him up in the cattle business couple of times, but had to take the cattle away from him. He has not seen much of him in recent years. He enlisted in the navy dur ing the war. He married Peggy in Cheyenne two years ago the 18th of last July. She was born in Wiscon- sin.
 Harry and Peggy went to Gallup from Santa Fe and were in Gallup for six weeks before coming here. She worked in the Manhattan cafe. They came here on the train. Hugh Best and Peggy's sister-in-law, Marjorie Gilmore, and the latter's two children also came with them. The Gilmores went right on to Santa Barbara.
 They stayed here three or four weeks. She worked at the Com mercial cafe, as waitress. They stay ed here about a week after he killed Schwab.
 They stopped first at the Ideal hotel, then went to the Smith (Gleason) rooming house.
 From here, she said, she and Harry drove the car to Magdalena, N. M., then to Albuquerque, Denver and Spalding City, Neb., remaining in the later place two months. Then they left for Cheyenne. Harry's brother, Roy working in Cheyenne for Newton & Phillips during the frontier days there, joined them. They went from there to Elko, New, to the rodeo, where Coyote Olivas joined them. Then the four drove to Burley, Idaho, then to Boise City, Idaho, meeting Buffalo Brady in the latter place. He joined them, making the party up to five. Then they drove to Weiser, Idaho, about 75 miles from Boise City, where Harry Nash sold the Chandler car for $500 on October 10, to J. E. Freeman, who ran an auto bus line.
 Harry Nash then paid Buffalo Brady some money the latter had loaned him a few days before.
 Brady then went back to his home at Butte, Mont, Harry Nash went to Cheyenne, to appear as witness in a suit in which his father was inter- ested; Coyote Olivas went to Port land, Ore, and Roy Nash and Harry's wife went to Los Angeles.
 A few weeks ago, Freeman, the man who bought the car from Harry Nash, and who had sold his bus business, put the Chandler car up for sale at Boise City. Frank S. Faust, deputy sher- fir at Weiser, was in Boise City, saw the car, and from the fact that some of the numbers had been mutilated, and remembering the Schwab murder and that the latter's car was still be-
