DR.. Watson Injured
on TObOggdn Party.

Last week the Miner stated that DR.
c. Gordon Watson Of Soudan was un-
able to attend the Rotary meeting by
reason of an accident that happened
to him while on a toboggan party.
The Tower News of Friday gave an
account of the accident and stated that
the toboggan was towed behind car
driven by Mrs. Watson. The right
wheels of the car struck a soft spot
and on coming to sudden stop in a
snow drift, the toboggan with DR.
Watson aboard crashed into the bum
per of the car.
The impact fractured five of DR.
Watsons ribs, one of which pene-
trated his lung. The accident hap
pened quite a distance from town and
the story of the courage displayed by
the doctor on the road and later al
the hospital supervising the X-ray
picture of his injuries, reads like page
from thriller.
Late accounts are that he is i'm
proving as rapidly as expected, fact
his many Ely friends will be pleased
to learn.

Actually, the advances this year by
the papers on the whole, and espe-
cially by those Of from 10000 to
$4,000 circulation, appear to have
been greater than in any previous
year.
Il believe one reason why the
papers are able to continue i'm
proving, even under the pressure
of unusual news demands, is that
they paved the way in less active
periods when there was time to
study and adjust standards and
facilities. They are good example
of the beneficial results any busi-
ness can expect when it takes ad-
of its opportunities to build

SparTing for some opening
point, Taylor led the man
through q series OF questions
about his friendship with the
Drain household.
His story was disconnected in
parts. but on the whole very
credible.
Along routine lines. the quiz
zing went rapidly, and then
when did you first know
about the murdor?" Taylor
asked.
II read about 1t In the paper
that morning."
The next question was framed
on Taylor's lips when he paused
This didn't sound right!
What's wrong here?
The answer came almost in
stantly-the murder story was
not in the regular edition Of the
Sunday morning paperi

per, Frank, ehf" Taylor asked.
Eyes, mister"

Aguilar half jumped from the
chair-his voice quavered as he
replied:

His face broke into q smile.
That's Frank -. Hello, Frank"
The greeting was never an

less and crestfallen. all the fight

appearance Of his partner In

Prank, he was with me- Ar
ridy stated he hit the big girl

Aguilar began babbling. They

which he sat.

peated, this time soberly. MY

UnnerUed Prisoner
Launches Into Story

The unnerved prisoner
launched into an incoherent &C
count In which ne stated he had
driven by the Drain home Sun
day morning
''Was there anybody around ?"
Taylor interrupted.
"No master, there was not"
Again he was caught point
blank.
"You lie, Frank! / was there
mysoif-And there were hun
drods Of people thcrev'
Aguilar did not deny the Sec
ond accusation, and everybody
in the room was electrified.
This fellow was lying for some
reason all right: but did il have
any bearing on the murder? Why
did he lie! Was he harmless
and just frightened!
The officers soon realized that
further questioning that night
g was useless. so they showed the
prisoner into a cell.
Though IL was now past mid
night, Taylor, Grady and
Worker drove to a three-room
shack in which Aguilar lived
with his family and aged
mother.
A thorough search Of the
cramped quarters yielded han
dle-less Ratchet, with a deep
nick in one corner Of the ham,
mer end and several smaller
hicks were in the blade.
This could very likely be
the murder weapon" said
Worker.
He decided to run out to the
Cor-win Hospital to photograph
the wounds on Barbara's head,
and then meet the other officers
at headquarters.
A few hours later a print Of
the exact size, to a fraction of
an inch, of the girls head wound
was placed on Grady's desk.
Comparing this with the
Ratchet, ii was noted that the
deep nick in the hammer end
fitted perfectly.
They had him! They knew

ARuilar was their man! And
they decided to mould a chain of

youth - and the answer came
correctly.
ASK him N there II . flower

Drain directed.
NO bench under the win
dow" Arridy replied. II bumped
into it once"
Drain said this too was cor
rect.
Further questions were asked.
and to each came the hating
replies Of the youth sometimes
vague, but many times correct,
as Taylor knew from his own
knowledge of events that night.
Then they asked him II he
knew Aguilar-
why. Frank" Arridy spoke
distinctly and smiled knowingly.

crime - not one, as they had
been 50 positive before!'
Taylor and Worker took
charge Of the prisoner. who
agreed to waive extradition, and
returned him to Pueblo.
The following morning an air
of expectancy filled Chief
Crady's office as all the detec-
lives who had labored so tire
lessly on the case sensed the
approaching climax to their
efforts.
In the small room Joe Arridy
was seated facing the door. and

evidence that could not be
broken.
No announcement OF these
events was made for fear Of mob
action by the aroused populace;
and for the next i've days the
manhunters worked In silence,
gathering all the evidence to-
gether.
Dirt and other matter under
Aguilar's fingernails was re-
moved and carefully saved.
A bloody shirt was discovered;
and later 1t was found the
overalls he had worn the day Of
his arrest had been recently
washed - examination showed
faint stains Of red.
Infinitely small particles Of
cloth were very carefully
scraped from the crimson
spotted bed sheets and from the
rayon nightgown Dorothy had
worn.

Passing Cdsket
For Last Glimpse

A file OF persons was passing
the casket for a last glimpse Of
the innocent victim when a dark,
swarthy man, wearing overalls
and a dirty blue shirt was seen
walking slowly about in the curl
Gus crowd outside.
Frequently he would ask a
question about the dead girl.
Butler and Mikitich, surveying
the crowd from a vantage point
some distance away, sighted the
man and instantly took notice Of
his unusual behavior.
He saw them at the same mo-
ment and, apparently propelled
by a queer inward impulse he
could not control, walked d.
rectly up to the two officers

the forces at their command for
the investigation.
Every inch of the house and
yard was searched, while a
fingerprint expert carefully went
over the girls bedroom.
Not one clue, not one shred Of
evidence that might hint at the
killers identity was found.
The alley behind the house
was the next object of attention.
There in the dirt the officers
flashlight detected three spots
of blood that seemed compare
lively fresh.
This was tho first Indication
Of where the inhuman killer had
entered the house in the dark
ness of a few hours before and
it gave impetus to the investi-
cation.
Though many people had since
trampled the yard, the man.
hunters nevertheless decided to
use bloodhounds and wired their
request to the state prison at
Canon City, 40 miles away.
Before noon, Warden Roy
Best had his two best crackers
on the case, Bess and 30.
But il was no use; they were
unable to pick up the killers
scent.
On the day OF Dorothy's
funeral, the Thursday following
the murder, a solution Of the
case seemed hopeless.
Barbara lowered between life
and death-to question her was
obviously impossible.
With only a few hours sleep
a night, every manhunter on the
case was working steadily
against an apparent impene-
trable veil Of mystery.
Don't they say" suggested
District Attorney Taylor, that
. killer Of this type viii always
make m effort to see the body
Of his victirn?"
Yes, that often happens, the
police agreed.
While the body lay in state at
the Mccarthy Funeral Home.
Chief Grady had three of his
men mingle with the throng,
closely watching every person.
During the funeral later that
afternoon. they were joined by
police officers r. Earl Butler
and n. ]. Milkitich.

Sent Mother
Screaming

A great cash behind her left
ear. her nightgown torn to
shreds, Dorothy lay face down
on the outside Of the bed.
Barbara. who sroaned weakly
AZ her father stood motionless,
stunned by the sight. was curled
up on the bed next TO the wall.
An ugly wound creased her
scalp, revealing she had been
struck In the same manner as
her older sister.
One glimpse at the pitifully
crumpled bodies sent the mother
screaming from the house to the
home next door where the chill
dren's grandfather, former
State Senator Perry c. Dunlap,
resided.
Dunlap, whose bedroom was
on the side Of the house next TO
the Drain home. later revealed
he had heard one of the girls
say about IL o'clock Saturday
night, Don't DO that"--but he
paid no further attention,
thinking his two granddaughter
were playing.
Barbara had meanwhile been
rushed to Corwin Hospital. only
q few blocks away from her
home.
Dorothy Drain-attractive to
boys, but a. yet more interested
In her studies at Central High
School-lay still In death on the
scarlet bed.
Or. A. M. Triple, called In
place OF Coroner c. N. Caldwell
who was out Of the city, walked
into the room and edged to the
side Of the bed.
After q brief examination he
looked up gravely and made the
expected announcement:
This giFi has been criminaiiy
assaulted BY . flond."
When Chief of Police J. Ar

Detailed to Go
To Cheyenne

All this evidence was taken
to a criminologist for analysis
and the report came back that
the particles from under Agui-
lars fingers corresponded to the
material Of Dorothys night
gown.
Then, the following morning.
q phone call hurled an unex-
pected bornbshell into the case.
II came from Cheyenne, Wyo-,
where the police announced they
had picked up q fellow In the
railroad yards who confessed
numbering the Drain girl!
Taylor and Worker were i'm
mediately detailed to 20 TO
Cheyenne, $50 miles north. to
interview this new personality
who had injected himself into
the case.
When they reached the Wy
orning city that night. Sheriff
George Carroll greeted them
with:
II believe I've rot your mAn."
The Pueblo officers then told
Carroll that they thought they
had the real murderer safely
locked in a Pueblo cell and
were puzzled by this new de-
velopment.
When the confessed killer was
brought into the sheriff's office,
the manhunters became even
more bewildered as he frankly
answered all their questions.
He gave his name as Joe
Arridy. n, and said he lived In
Pueblo.
Strangely composed he sat
calmly in a chair and gave an
amazing recital Of the murder.
Though full Of contradictions,
his story in many respects
checked in detail with what the
officers knew had happened on
the fatal night.
1t was quite apparent that
Arridy had little more intelli-
gence than a 5-year-old child;
and later developments revealed
that he had escaped from the
State Home for Mental Defec.

Taylor called Chief Grady on
the phone, and the father Of
the girls was then In. the chiefs

Taylor wanted Drain to test

really was in the house.

DraUn By Hin,

Later, when the parents had
gone, they came out Of the
bushes and quietly tried the
back screen door. It was hooked.
They stole around to the front
door. II was unlocked and open.
The two maniacs then entered
the home and left thu

work.
Climaxing his confession,
Aguilar signed his name, an X,
to an even Rhastlier story.
Early In August, Mr.. Sally
Crumpley, 70. Of Osawatomie.
Kan, visiting her niece, Mrs.
Lily McMurtree Of Pueblo, had
been bludgeoned to death In her
sleep and Mrs. McMurtree
beaten unconscious.
Mrs. McMurtree's two daugh-

the intended victims and only
their absence from home On
that night saved their lives.
The cruel fate that these two
young women escaped was Ns-
tied upon two other far less

womanhood, was sent to q hor-
