Show CONSPIRACY TO MURDER Frank Treseder, the Ex-Jail Bird, Ar- rested on Three Complaints This Morning', Which Charge Hiin With an "Attempt to Murder" Deputy Franks, At-: At-: ' , e torney Dickson and Marshal i M l " ; '- ' Ireland.; . The Evidence in the Case Said to be Indisputable, But It Is Not Yet Brought Out. Marshal Ireland was seen walking in the direction of his office this afternoon with Frank Treseder, and from the appearance ap-pearance of things it was taken for granted that the latter was under arrest. Considerable excitement immediately resulted from the incident, as it was suspected sus-pected by many that Boine new and important im-portant development in the Jones bribery case had come to light. A reporter followed fol-lowed them into the Marshal's office and was permitted to glance at . : THREE COMPLAINTS Which the Marshal had just deposited on his desk. The reporter was almost dumb-I dumb-I founded when he read in the documents : "Frank Treseder Charged with an attempt at-tempt to murder W. H. Dickson ;" Frank Treseder Charged with an attempt to murder E. A. Ireland ;" and "Frank Tre seder Charged with an attempt to murder E. A. Franks" (deputy). There was nothing in . the . nature of details expressed in either paper, and it was afterwards ascertained that the utmost ut-most secrecy would necessarily have to be maintained until the affair had been fully developed. There was enough learned, however, to establish the fact that Treseder Tre-seder had arranged with another person for THE KILLING OF THESE THREE OFFICERS, And that the part' thus importuned had been secured before the deed was committed. com-mitted. Marshal Ireland.gave the assurance assur-ance that there were sufficient facts to justify the charge of "attempt to murder," mur-der," but insisted that, for reasons of an important nature, the details and circumstances circum-stances would have to be kept from the public for the present ; and Mr. Dickson was equally emphatic in his demand for secrecv. Treseder was white with fear, and so terribly excited that he could neither sit nor stand still for a moment at a time. He paced up and down the Marshal's office in a perfect hysteria, and appealed to Marshal Ireland "As there is a God in heaven, Marshal Ireland, I have never had such a thought in mv head as that." He continued to swear by everything sacred and profane that he had not taken the first step, nor entertained enter-tained the least thought, toward such an act, and appealed to the reporter not to charge him with it in the newspaper. Marshal Ireland firmly assured Tresoder that there were FACTS OF AX INDISPUTABLE CHARACTER Known, which establishes his guilt. It appears that Treseder some davs ago negotiated with some man (whose'name is kept from the public at the request of Marshal Ireland and Mr. Dickson) for tne prompt annihilation of the three officers of-ficers named above, and that there was a big inducement offered, but whether through fear or through accident the party was apprephended is not known. It is safe to surmise, however, how-ever, that the party has given the whole business away, as while the party was well-known to the officers and was easily accessible, no arrest had been made. THE LATEST. The case was taken before E. T. Spraguc, and the prisoner was discharged just as the Democrat was going to press. Mr. Sprague held that a solicitation could not be taken as an act, and the result created a very general feeling of dissatisfaction. No evidence was taken ' and it is believed that Treseder will be arrested on ansther charge at once. Th a evidence in the case is said to be overwhelming. |
