With perfectly composed countenance and never as much show of emotion as the twitching of an eyelash, Preston Reeves, 23 years of age, the alleged murderer, stood for half an hour near the body of Andrew Harrison today in the Shaffer-Gay chapel. Sheriff Alexander McPherson and other officers had brought him there as a test, it being supposed that if he actually committed the crime to which he confessed in North Platte, Neb., he would dis- play some telltale sign when con- fronted by the remains of his sup- posed victim. Officials have admit- ted that Reeves baffles them and they say he is elther telling the truth in the matter of complete re- pudiation of his confession or else he {s one of the “smoothest” crim- inals in local annals.

Now and then, as the horrible story was re-enacted, a look of interest such as would be natural in a boy read- ing a dime novel, was seen to cross his face. The s all details sion and ff grilled him again of his alibi, his confer: story of his life, but Reeves hung doggedly to his repudia tion.
