-The trail of officers in their hunt
for the : ruthless killer of a Spo
kane druggist six weeks ago led
to the state penitentiary today,
and a Justice court murder war
rant was issued here against Tom
Eskeridge, prison Inmate.
Prosecutor Ralph Foley Bald
Eskeridge'a release from the pris
on at Walla Walla will be sought,
so he can stand trial here.
Eskeridge is serving a maxi
mum, term of, 20 years for grand
larceny. : He pleaded guilty' to the
theft of two typewriters from the
Spangle school near here. Foley
said. The theft was July 31, the
day after the slaying of Harry J.
Phillips in an attempted holdup
of anything outlying Fpokane
pharmacy.
It was Eskeridge's over-anxiety
to plead guilty to the larceny
charge and his evasiveness in an
swering questions, Foley said,
which first aroused suspicion. The
officers have worked quietly- on
the angle, for a month.
