MURDER EVIDENCE ON WOLF’S ORDERS (contmued From Page One) According to the testimony of wit- nesses, all of which were practically the same, Sam arsen, known as “The Swede” started the trouble in the gambling joint, and that he pulled a knife on Friccero, and that after the victim was backed into a corner, with his hands in the air, Eagleston took a hand, pulling a gun and telling Friccero to “stick ’em up.” Friccero complied, protesting all the time that he had no gun, and begging for his life: After Eagleston had searched Friccero and found no gun on him, he stepped back a few feet and de- liberately shot his victim in the stom- ach and then cooly walked out of the joint The first was Dr. J. ¢ the autopsy on the man He testified that the bullet struck F pro about two inches be- low the left nipple and ranged down- ward, lodging in the body of the last the bullet had had bare- at the hearing who conducted body of the dead witness Kamp, dorsal vertebrae, t penetrated the stomach and ly seraped the seventh rib. Phe most damaging witness against the murderer was P. H. Deutsch- mann, known as “Dutch,”’ who testi- fied that he was at the crap table, run by a man named “Fat” Sheely, who also operates the Poodle Dog on Center street, when the argument which led up to the killing started. He testified that Eagleston, Larsen and Friecero and a man_ called “Babe” were sitting in a game of stud poker when the areument — be- came heated That “The Swede pulled a knife on Friccero, and after- ward Eagcleston whipped out a gun, backed the victim into a corner, searched him and then shot him down like a dog. Others testifying, practically all of whom told the same story, and all of whom are gamblers and who. were witnesses to the murder, were “Babe” Harrington, J. E. Christian- son, F. E. Cooley, Miller, Deutsch- mann, Zahner, Art Ames and one or two others During the testimony of Officer Gallington, the sensational fact was brought out that the gambling par- aphernalia and other evidence were removed on direct orders of Chief Wolf, who is said to have stated that “it might get the police in bad if it was known that a gambling joint was being run” in the rooms over the Iris Theater, under lea: to F D.

After bringing his prisoner back. which was a few minutes after the shooting, and after the dying man had been carried to the lobby of the Henning Hotel and a physician sum- moned, he found a truck, said to be an International Truck No. 148, backed up in front of the building: When Gallington was placed on the witness stand under a fire of onestions by Prosecuting Attorney Purcell, he cooly gave the following straightforward story: Q. “When vou came street with the prisoner, u see?” “I saw a truck backed up and it h dents © back down the what did A resi- the been stated that the Wyoming do not realizz value of publicity. They refuse to the reason for advertising this state’s natural beauties, or of build- ing roads that will attract the tourist. Commercial clubs and other organiza see tions in Wyoming have not the funds: to get this stuff out, owing to thhe fact that the members of many of them cannot see the advantages of getting it out. The demand for lit- erature is keen. The Frontier com- tee, of Cheyenne, does more ad Pertising for Wyoming than any other single organization, and gets the most results.. If commercial clubs and game, and have available literature as to what the tourists who actually make Cheyenne for the Frontier show could find in other parts of the state, millions of dollars would be spent here annually by these people. Wyoming is the natural gate of the west. It is located on the Lincoln Highway’s main line, not a scrub line. It is the gateway to Yellowston Park, the grez of all parks. But be- cause outside people do not know what there is in this state that is worth looking at, Wyom is not holding the place among the tourists that she should hold. Several remedies gested, among which ave been sug a state em- migration bureau, with funds to ad- vertise Wyoming.
