of the killing of 'Scotty Sher-
siU and to lay before the jury the
l,,idence upon which he based the
arrest of Carey .
The testimony of Sheriff Loomis
tbe first link in the chain OF evil
dence which the state set out to weave
obout the defendant, Carey.
He stated that he was informed OF
.,a coming of Carey to Cody about
Iuns Doth: then again on the 23rd. On
the evening of the 23rd, which was
Saturday. he got out a search war
~s. for the car. He went to the
Ian'a hotel and found that Carey oc-
.upied room 81. In the ne
tonnd two travelling bags, n with
The name of George Sherrin upon it
and the other containing a letter ad-
dressed to Carey. There was a .38
Colts in Sherrin's bag and an empty
holster and a box of shells in the n
he believed belonged to Carey. The
n,n in Sherrin's suitcase did not fit
the holster in Carey's, he stated.
He then located the red Nash sport
model touring car which he had been
informed Carey was driving, in the
Park garage. This was on Monday
morning. He searched it and found
a niece of rubber tube and pieces of
glass on the floor in the back seat.
There was moonshine whiskey in the
tubing and the car smelled of it, he
testified.
In the afternoon he and Goppert
went out to the Hargreaves spring on
the Clarks Fork road to look for the
cache, making the trip in the prose-
cutting attorneys Ford. There he saw
where a car had turned out to the
side of the road. He saw footprints
going down on southeast side of the
spring. He followed and found the
cache consisting of a copper container
and a keg concealed in a clump of
bushes
He left Goppert guarding the cache
while he jumped in the Ford and came
t5 Cody. Upon his arrival he ap-
pointed two deputies, J. T. McGon-
agile and Harry Upton. to go out
and guard the cache and apprehend
the persons who came to it. He pin
ned a star on the bib of ~McGonagle's
o~veralls, and another on Upton. He
them where the spring was located,
assuring them he would be out him
self about IL o'clock that night. The
deputies went out in Goppert's car
and he went to his office.
Between 7 and 8 O'Clock he saw the
Nash car at the Irma and spoke to
Carey who was standing on the steps.
He merely mentioned the weather or
some casual observation as at that
time he did not know Carey so failed
to recognize him as the person who
owned the car he was keeping under
surveillance.
1t was an hour and a half after this
that the deputies returned to town
saying the men had escaped.
He got a car and collided with an
other. This accident necessitated the
getting of another car which he did
and started in pursuit toward Grey
bull accompanied by Upton. He fol-
lowed it by watching the tire tracks
on the highway east of Cody Beyond
the Dry Creek bridge he saw broken
glass in the road but did not stop to
pick it up When the road forked, he
followed the car to Burlington and
through Otto. In Greybull he found
the Nash at Mr.. Ritchie's place stand
ing in a lane beside the house.
He arrested the defendant whom he
found to be wounded. Then he went
out to the car and found "Scotty"
Sherrin dead in it. He took possess
ION of the car and drove the body of
Sherrin to the morgue.
lie then came back to Cody and has
since kept the car in a garage. There
was the smell of moonshine whiskey
about the car and when he opened
inc trunk on the back of the car in
ureybull he found sacks saturated
with m%oonshine. The next day when
ne searched the pockets he found
more rubber tubing in one of them.

nad seen the glass in the road beyond
