tried the man Kochevar a change of from San
Miguel county. Kochevar charged in company with
two other with the murders of which we are now
hearing much Two of the convicted in
Telluride. Hired detectives built web of evidence

get before unprejudiced and community he
could prove himself innocent. He made good in this
county and the jurors with whom have conversed
if the evidence that convicted the other men bet
