MURDERED JAILOR AND FLED Captured In Raloou After an Attempt to Ilreak Away He Wanted to Be a ' Bad 3lan. Elma, Wash., March J. A man who answers the description of Christ Ben son, the man who murdered Deputy Sheriff Morrell, at Olympla, Sunday af ternoon, iras arrested here by Deputy Sheriff Mackey of Olympla and Const able Ben Martin this morning. The susjectwas first noticed by several men who reside here, and they called on the deputy sheriff and told him that they believed the man to be the mur derer. In the meantime the man ap peared to notice that he was being shadowed and he made an attempt to get away, bat was forced to come to a halt at the muxxles of a couple of rifle. He was at once locked up In jail and will be taken to Orympla on the train this afternoon for Identification. . ' CAUGHT IN A SALOON Seattle, Wash., March . Murderer Benson, who shot and killed Deputy Jailer Morrell last Sunday, at Olympla, has been captured. He was caught In a saloon at Elma. at S o'clock this morning. He wa seen and mispected by a posw of citizen who promptly ran him to earth. The posse had Benson's picture and a full description, and the color of his hair, complexion and even the growth of his whisker tallied in vertf wa. Deputy Sheriff Mackay of Olympla Is now on his way to Elma to complete the Identlf Uatlon and take the prisoner back. The captured man refuses to discuss the situation. He came out of the woods near Elma about 7:30 a. m. with hi clothing tattered and torn and, walk ed Into the saloon. He was without money, but ate the free lunch greedily. Wh"n the posse surrounded him he showed ight, but was overpowered In a rush. His revolver was found to be empty. ' The prisoner has not spoken a word since he was captured. Late last night he entered a ranch house near Elma and stole a ham. That gave the posse the tip that he was In the neighborhood. Thi captors will divide the 3600 re ward. A dispatch from Olynipia says that some ot Morrell s friends are threaten ing to lynch Benson when he Is brought to the capital city. Governor McBrlde say he will call out the national guard if the sherl.t think assistance Is nec essary to protect the prisoner. It now transpire that Benson had a shady career In Chicago before coming wst, and that he wanted to establish a reputation of being a bold, bad man. He was probably starved out of the woods and did not have the Harry Tracy nerve to bluff his way back. NURSES DESERT HOSPITAL Over Fifty Patients Suffer Through Ne giect of Attendants. . New "York.
