BITTER ASSAULT “WADE ON ROACH FOR USING GUN Carlisle Could Beat Him for Elec- tion in Home County, Writer in Laramie Paper Declares ——7 (Special to The Tribune) CHE ‘RB, Wyo. Feb. haps the bitterest assault on a. public officer th cism of Alonzo S. Roach, former sher- iff of Platte county and now commissioner of prohibition, in a letter frm A. B. Gillespie of Rock River, Wyoming, hich appeared in amie Roomerang of. February under the capdon “OCurlisle Shaild be in Politics, Thinks a Reader.” Gille- ¥ k on Roach"fiot only Is bit- al, but proceeds to the x- after the statement that “The ndard of morals in Wyoming has heen warped more by the mental abber- ation or crintinal intent of officers than by the depredations of bandits and criminals”—not only of coupling him with Tom Horn and the murderers of Frank Jennings. but’ of ghoulishly detving into the past for the purpose (unless the words and intent of the writer are misinterpreted) of attaching to. his dead brother, Sheriff Roach of Laramie county, who was foully mur: dered while in performance of his duty, the same stigma which it is sought to attach to the ‘living objective of the correspondent’s verbal venom. Gillespie's letter,“ with the exception of that portion to which the preced- ing sentence refers, follow: “Rock River, W » Feb. 20, “Editor Boomerang: : Somebody continually keeps Bil Car- lisle in the limelight, It is a curious psychological fact that nobody is satis- fied with the shooting of Bill except Bin, Ed. Howe, philosopher and hum list, takes pride in’ the cousin, Charlie Ir- ‘win, shot, the famous bandit, and Char- lie is now doing the Pacific const as the shooter of Bill Carlisle. But it is freatly to the honor of C » Irwin that he didn’t want to shoot him. “As far as I can learn, the ‘facts while on the trail, Charlie was keen and fast. is posse brot the bandit to bay about daylight in a setiler’s cabin. The settler hearing the noise came out and informed the posse that Carlisle was in the bin. Charlie and the other VU. P. detective, both large men, nabbed the ranchman—n ‘very small man—and held him while Sheriff Roach rapidly advanced and shot him.” (The writer manifestly intends to say that Roach shot Carlisle, not that he shot the ranchman). “Carlisle was then tied to the back of a horse and taken some Aistance to an automobile. During this ordeal of the third degree Bill acknowl edgel to Roach that he needed ‘shoot- int and he considered it’ an fiondi"to be shot by so able a conscientious an officer as Roach. When time came to move Carlisle ba to Rawlins, Toach secured the job and again put him thru the ordeal of the third de- gree.
