Denver, March 6. Mrs. Georglna Stanley, who was found' In an uncon scious condition In the same room In which lay the dead body of Major Mar shal F.

About a year ago Mr. Stanley died of paralysis and left, his widow prac tically penlless and helpless )n account of 111 health. Major Hurd, who was at that time an Inmate of the Old Sol diers home at Montevlsta, Col., came to Denver and undertook to care for Mrs. Stantey whose late husband was his friend.

Mackey traced the suspect from a farmhouse near Elma, where he had asked for food, Into town, and arrested him there Tuesday morning. He sent word to the Olympia officers at once and Deputy John Kegley. who had worked with Benson In his fathers mill at Black Lake, was sent to iden tify the man. He telephoned Tuesday afternoon that the man was not Benson and he was released. Mackey says It took Deputy Kegley fully 20 minutes to decide whether the suspect was or was not Benson. When shon a picture nf th latter today, Mackey was confirmed In his belief that the man he arrested at Elma was Benson, He says he answered the de scription In everything but the hat. He wore, a white hat Instead of a black one, but that might easily have been changed. "1 was sure he was Benson from the first," said Mackey, "but what could I dot Kegley was sent to Identify him and said he was not the man, so I could do nothing but let him go. The last I saw of him he was walking up Main street.' He left the town at once, going southwest towards a grading camp, where he said he had got work.

Sheriff Mills has called in all his dep uties from the Ntyqually district and has no further -plans at present for the chase. " There Is some dissatisfac tion with the support Pterce county authorities have given, some persons believing that they have let Benson slip through the guard lines and get out of Tacoma ou a vessel. So far as definite clews are concerned Benson is as mu'il lost from view as he was two days ago. LATER North Yakima, March 6.
