The Sheriff announced that he had
sent out a general alarm for these in
dispensable witnesses of the fusilade at
the reservoir, in which many shots were
exchanged, according 10 Ward, and
which ended In the elimination of Sea-
man Peters and the flight in the mystic
rious red Stutz of the equally mystic
rious Charley Ross and Pasty Faced
Jack.
The Sheriff shook his head dubiously
over the inadequacy (from his profess
sionai point Of view) of these pen pic
lures. He had had the descriptions In
his possession for several days. he cen
fided, but they had seemed so general
and so vague that he had hesitated about
sending them out
II could pick up twenty-five men to-
Gay on those descriptions" said the
Sheriff doubtfhiiy.
After his arrest Ward received un-
tisucl trea atment for prisoner. A sup
per was brought into him and from the
RAIN soaked courtyard Ward could be
seen laughing and joking with officials
IN the Sheriff's private office.
Trying for Picture OF ward.
Newspaper and syndicate photog-
raphers expended much time and
trouble in trying to get pictures OF Ward
while he was in the Sheriffs office and
elsewhere in the Court House, and they
finally obtained flashlights of him as
he sped through a corridor with the
Sheriff ahead of him and a deputy i'm
mediately behind him. One camera man
got picture by climbing on a steel
girder that stretches across sort Of
moat or ditch behind the sheriffs office
From this he could get view of the
windows. He tapped on the glass, and
when Ward raised his head the photog-
rapher let off his flashlight and snapped
his picture.
Besides refusing to tell where he had
to say what Ward had talked about
while his lawyers were out trying 20 get
a writ of habeas corpus. A boy who
had been carrying sandwiches to the re-
porters, however, came along and said
that the Sheriff and Ward had their
heads close together In the back room
of the Sheriffs offices and were discuss
ing something earnestly. He said he
might be able, being small. to creep
along the window ledges until he reached
the back room window, or close enough
to hear what was going on. Arrange
ments were made and the boy left. He
came back soon and made this report:
%Ward is telling the Sheriff how to
make bread"
Placed In jail for Night.
1t was 10:45 o'clock when Ward was
placed in the county jail for the night.
There are four doors in the Sheriff's
offices. The second door is rear one,
leading into the courtyard. Just before
it was opened Sheriff Werner came out
and the reporters gathered around him.
While he was talking to the reporters
the door nearest the courtyard was
flung open and Ward with head down.
hat in hand, made a dash for the Jail.
He had gone but three feet when a
photographer flashed him. Then the
other photographers let go their flashes,
Ward had some difficulty In yanking
open the outside door and this gave the
camera men their opportunity.
After he got into the courtyard, Ward
ran through the rain, slipping once
in pool of water He was closely fol-
lowed by Frank Cherfco. deputy sheriff.
The Jail door Is about 120 feet from

vestib0le all right, but the jail door was
locked.
What's the matter, Mr.. Ward, won't
they let you in?" asked one reporter
Ward turned around and smiled at the
newspapermen.
1t was four minutes before the door
was finally opened and Warden John
Hill received Mr.. Ward.
Sheriff Werner said that he had re-
ceived the order for Wards arrest at
2 o'clock in the afternoon and went in
his automobile with his chauffeur. He
said that when he met Ward he got
out OF his own car and went into Wards
machine. The chauffeur drove the
sSheriffs car back to White Plains.
The Sheriff refused to tell where he
arrested Ward, and said he would fife
the information with the order of arrest
this morning.
