Several sessions o f questioning: by County Attorney Lew D. Brun- dage and Sheriff Claude Lay have produced no change in the man’s story that he had merely talked to two men who had the two typewriters and stolen goods and who he said had given him a hammer from the loot, the ham mer having been found in his pos session when he was arrested b y Butte officials. Rube Hill, conductor who re ported to Butte officers at Silver | Bow that he had seen a colored1 man in a box car with a type writer, has not appeared to testify as to the identity o f the man, though it is believed the box car was so dark he may not be ablo to identify him as the same negro.
