To Get Evidence

While all this was taking

aides worked desperately TO OBJ
tain evidence against the men,
bers of the gang for the murder
of Bob Hammers. To get the
necessary evidence there fol-
lowed months of tireless track
ing of clues in the underworld.
BY the end of the year, they
had almost given up hope Of
ever experimenting the murder
ers of Hammers.
There's one last chance"
Hoover said. "Ne'll work on the
weakest member of the gang
McAtee."
'Tn a couple OF weeks" the
sheriff suggested to Edwards.
"drop down TO Sapulpa and see
Mrs. McAtee." q
1t wasn't until Feb. 10, 1885,
that Edwards got to Sapulpa.
Even then he didn't know what

"John didn't have anything to

except TO drive the truck and
wait outside the town. He didn't
have anything to do with the
shooting of that marshal"
Edwards managed to hide his
feelings with some effort. Since
John was in on it," he told her,
that makes him equally guilty.
There isn't much 1 can do about
it,"
Grace Downey was located in
Coffeeville, Kan, and arrested
on a charge of being accessory
in the robbery of the State Bank
in Oxford, Kan. Confronted
with the charge that she had
disposed of one of the bonds
taken from that bank, she
quickly pleaded guilty to being
an accessory. But that was all

A short time later she APP
peared before Judge Wendall

tiary at Lansing.

nervously to three doors.

Hoover ordered in a cold voice.
"We'll get what we came for
