Detectives Have Good, Eyes. j Detectives Chase and Burt made thlaS arrest, and they got the mcn on the (. bnre description which had been given out Half an hour after the two plain 1 clothes? men made the capture they learned that they had the right men beyond a shadow of a doubt. Ed and Walter Burrlll are two Philippine Philip-pine veterans. They were discharged from the United States volunteers In San Francisco. They claim they camo from that city lately. They look more like a pair of Eastern pick-pocketsf or hotel room-workers than highwaymen. 1 White linen and creased trousers, well shlned shoes and up-to-date ties give the prisoners an appearance which would gain them credit In any first-class first-class hotel. But their actions and demeanor de-meanor when questioned and faced by supposed victims for Identification were those of men who have been on the rack before. Detective Raleigh had shadowed the samo pair Sunday, but he, like the other oflicera, was going on the Ogden description, for the department men were sure tliat this city was visited by the bandits who had held a brief reign of terror further north. According to the data which came from Ogden the complexions of the highwaymen were just the opposite of this pair. The tall man was light and the short dark in thla description. Had Shockley's Lodgings. When Chase saw the men yesterday afternoon, he and Burt were on Commercial Com-mercial street. He remarked that they looked like the wanted bandits, but commented on the fault of the descriptions descrip-tions which Raleigh had noted twenty-four twenty-four hours before. However. Burt and he followed the pair Into the Council saloon. There the suspects talked a short time, and as they chatted they were arrested. A visit to their room gave the officers possession of two 35-callbre 35-callbre revolvers. This room, by the way, was over tho Council saloon, In the same house Bandit Shockley, now awaiting execution for murder, occupied when he was holding up stores and street cars. "Were Quickly Recognized. Soon after the prisoners were taken td. police station they were faced by Kirk, whose store at the corner of Third Southy and Fourth West they held up Saturday Satur-day night. "Those are the mcn," said he. and later. "I would swear to them In any court." He reiterated his Identification again and again. Police Sergt. Eddlngton had seen these men enter a pawn shop on First South, and from this place plunder obtained In Ogden was recovered. Both Burrllls deny that they even committed any robberies. "Hold up a man! Why I'm too big a coward to do that," said one of them to Detective Raleigh. "I wouldn't dare to shoot," he went on. "You weren't afraid to shoot In the Philippines." said Raleigh. "It was different there." said Burrlll, 'I was fighting for my country."
