Confesses Crime At 2:30 this aftern-'-n Rich ardson made full and free ver- ' ba confession of his crime to Sheriff Taylor, District Attorney Stclwer and Deputy Sheriff Eotcs, Confronted with all of the facta that the officers had learned, and subjected to a grilling ques tioning, he finally broke down and told the full story. He told them that he shot Owings twice In the left sltfe of the neck as they were riding to gether m Owings' wagon Just the other side or the Earl Tulioch ranch. Death resulted Instant ly, he said, and be toppled htm over the seat into the hack or the wagon, drove to the old well and dumped the body In. He then drove to the Elder ranch and, securing; a shovel next mor- nlng, went back and threw dirt over the- body. The provocation of his act, he said, was dbiiwragina remark made by Owings about Mrs. Jackson, mother of Owings' wire and his own former wife.

Sheriff Taylor, Deputy J. if, Rgtea and Coroner Drown dug out the body last night after an investigation had convinced them that Richardson had killed Owliurs and had concealed the body. So rtrm wa9 their conviction that Richardson was arrested during ine anernoon before tlie bmly had been definitely located. "Die motive or tlie allesml miirde Is supposed to haie been robbery, as Riiiianlxm brought back to Pendle ton and sold four horses, a wagon and other posscss ons of the dead nan. Ow!ngs. however, was married to the divorced wife of RictianLson, it Is said, and this may have been one or the reasons behind the roul crime. Owings Was Mivcd. J. M. Stephenson, proprietor of the Alta House, and Fred Sims, proprie tor of the Alta Feed Yard, are re sponsible for the Investigation which led to the discovery of the crime. Both Owings and Richardson had been staying at the Alta House and became acquainted there. Owings. who was a horse trader and team ster, arrived from Twin Falls. Idaho, last spring and had been working for various farmers during the summer. At on time he worked for Pedro brothers and traded a span of mules for a team of horses with them. Richardson and Owings left thn Alta House on Monday, Augu-t 21 with the latter's outfit, owingi told friends that Richardson claimed to have a wheat hauling job about 1 1 miles northwest of town and sul h guessed he would go out and . what It amounted to. On the following Wednd far as the officers can km, Iti. h ardson returned to Pendleton with Owings' outfit. On Thursday morn ing Mr Sims, o.issinir the rrg',n Feed Yard, recognized a ii-m of horses which had belonged to owing and noticed Richardson talking a! to another man. The clrcumtn' struck him as strange and he report ed it to Mr. Stephenson. They tnado a quiet Investigation and found th.it he had sold one of Owings' teams to a government buer named l'etticord and that a few days later sold the ether team to the same man after th horses had been attached by one of his creditors. The prices for which he sold the animals, nun h less than their actual vulue, added further t-i the two men's suspicions.
