Che¢ter, alias ‘‘Curly the Bum,” for attempting to rob the stage near San Juan on Saturday last came off Wednesday afternoon in District Atterney Gaylord’s office before Justice Robinson. HKobert Huckins tes tified that his attention had been called to the presence of quite a namber of suspicious characters in San Jaan. He saw ‘buckskin Bob” (R. J. White) Geo. Chester, Charlie Ross and others there. His suspic~ ions Jed him toinguire re_arding a large correspondence carried on by “Buckskin” and upon learning that the answers were beingsent by postal cards-he turned his attention to the other parties, but in the meanwhile got acquainted with Buckskin Bob: for the purpose of using him as a confederate, as he understood he pretended to be acting aa a detective Bob told him that Chester had made: a proposition to rob the Nevada He “Subsequently got acture the would-be robber. Ross was given a shot-gun, and instruct~ ed to go along with Chester. Bob and I were,to be on the stage. If no ladies were aboard he. was tu give the signal forthe two to go ahead. ‘When we got to the placeagreed upon'two men ran out, one to head off the leaders, and the other around on the heads of the horses said ‘halt,’ and Ross with the shot-gum ordered us to getout. I got out and proceeded to quiet the horses. After doing this I went around @and took hold of Chester, who had his head and shoulders in the stage, and said that ‘this has gone about farenough.’ Chester only. said ‘Oh.’ Looked about and saw Ross with the gun elevated, and shortly after heard a shot. Thought nothing of this as he was instructed to fire, drop the. gun and go back to San Juan. Saw . Ross in San Juan when I went back. Robert J. White (‘‘Bnekskin Bob’’) teatified that he first saw Chester in Mrs. Smith’s Hotel on the ‘night of Tuesday, October 26th. ‘Looked at him and said to myself that ‘I’ve seen that man before,’ and I recognized him as being a hard case, and thought that he must be there on ‘crooked business.’ “I saw him once at Winuemucca a little ovor a year ago, at Firebaugh’s Ferry, Fresno county, en the San Joaquin river, about hine months ago, and in Tacson, Arizona, in 1877. A& soon as he caught my eye he,dropped his own. I spoke to him and we shook hands. He said ‘I want to have a talk with you after a little.’ We walked up the street above the Thea‘tre and sat down in asecluded spot. He says to me, ‘I think you are. one of the boys by the way you spoke to me, and before I commence talking toyou I want you to tell me whether you are or net.’ I bid him go of as there was no necessity of his asking me anything else. He said, ‘From the looks of you [ll trust-you. I am here en a little racket of my own, and if I can get a gun I’m all right.’ I inquired as to the nature of the racket. He threatened to kill me if I gave him away. He said, ‘I came here to rob this stage to make a stake.to go to Arizona on,’ He said if he could get a shot-gun he would do it alone, and if I got him agun he would ‘whack up’ even. ‘If you want to go in with me I'll whack up even,’ said’he. I told him I would see about it. He told me about stealing some silverware at Marysville, und burying it in a manure pile. He told me of a man he had robbed at Firebaugh’s Ferry, also a man he hail tried to garrote, and that he hithim inthe head with a sand-bag and killed him. He said the last circumstance occurred in the lower country, but would te!! mothing more. He said he was the man who tried to stop Finchley near Camptonville afew days ago. We went down town again, he cautioning me to keep quiet. I told my friend, Charlie Ress, about the affair, and said we would catch the man, My partner (Ross) made hisacquaintauce subsequeatly. He (Chester) told Mrs. Davenport where he hid the $500 worth of silverware. Thursday met Huckins, and at hid request Tama Deputy Sheriff, and I arrest the off-side of the stage. Chester at ee ‘mask on Chester, but said he sewed went out walking with him and made arrangements to catch the man, as already told. Huckius got the gun, and Ross was totake it so there would be no danger of anyone being endangered, Saturday was the day set. Huckins and.I got on the stage.

Question—‘‘Did you ever see Chester at Winnemucca, and if. so, at whut time and for how long a aaa riod?” Answer—‘'I saw him there inside ofa year andahalf. I saw him once in the jail at Winnemucca. He was an inmate, and I was a visitor.” Mr, Searls moved that the prisoner be discharged om the grounds that he had not used force or inutimida— tion, but that his confederates had. The motion was overrmed, and the prisoner was bound over for trial, . his bail being fixed at $4,000. George Chester, the prisoner, isa young mar and rather, intelligent. He worked in San_ Francisco five years, and his employers there, being telegraphed to, give him a good character. He says he went to San Jwan to get work, and, ‘‘Buckskin” told him he was a fool to work for a living, as he coukd go in to the stagerobbing busimess and accumulate. wealth rapidly. He also says that ‘‘Buckskin” told him he had $7,000 buried near Carson that he (Buckskin) had captdred from a stage, and gave other incidents of his prowess in a boasting manner. Chester also claims that when’ he told ‘Buckskin” he would not help rob the San Juan stage and talked of leaving that section to look for work. else— where, ‘‘Buckskip” drew a large kuife and threatened to ki!l him # he did not help commit the deed, “for,” said ‘‘Buckskim,” ‘‘you know too uuch now to draw_out.”.

Che¢ter, alias ‘‘Curly the Bum,” for attempting to rob the stage near San Juan on Saturday last came off Wednesday afternoon in District Atterney Gaylord’s office before Justice Robinson. HKobert Huckins tes tified that his attention had been called to the presence of quite a namber of suspicious characters in San Jaan. He saw ‘buckskin Bob” (R. J. White) Geo. Chester, Charlie Ross and others there. His suspic~ ions Jed him toinguire re_arding a large correspondence carried on by “Buckskin” and upon learning that the answers were beingsent by postal cards-he turned his attention to the other parties, but in the meanwhile got acquainted with Buckskin Bob: for the purpose of using him as a confederate, as he understood he pretended to be acting aa a detective Bob told him that Chester had made: a proposition to rob the Nevada He “Subsequently got acture the would-be robber. Ross was given a shot-gun, and instruct~ ed to go along with Chester. Bob and I were,to be on the stage. If no ladies were aboard he. was tu give the signal forthe two to go ahead. ‘When we got to the placeagreed upon'two men ran out, one to head off the leaders, and the other around on the heads of the horses said ‘halt,’ and Ross with the shot-gum ordered us to getout. I got out and proceeded to quiet the horses. After doing this I went around @and took hold of Chester, who had his head and shoulders in the stage, and said that ‘this has gone about farenough.’ Chester only. said ‘Oh.’ Looked about and saw Ross with the gun elevated, and shortly after heard a shot. Thought nothing of this as he was instructed to fire, drop the. gun and go back to San Juan. Saw . Ross in San Juan when I went back. Robert J. White (‘‘Bnekskin Bob’’) teatified that he first saw Chester in Mrs. Smith’s Hotel on the ‘night of Tuesday, October 26th. ‘Looked at him and said to myself that ‘I’ve seen that man before,’ and I recognized him as being a hard case, and thought that he must be there on ‘crooked business.’ “I saw him once at Winuemucca a little ovor a year ago, at Firebaugh’s Ferry, Fresno county, en the San Joaquin river, about hine months ago, and in Tacson, Arizona, in 1877. A& soon as he caught my eye he,dropped his own. I spoke to him and we shook hands. He said ‘I want to have a talk with you after a little.’ We walked up the street above the Thea‘tre and sat down in asecluded spot. He says to me, ‘I think you are. one of the boys by the way you spoke to me, and before I commence talking toyou I want you to tell me whether you are or net.’ I bid him go of as there was no necessity of his asking me anything else. He said, ‘From the looks of you [ll trust-you. I am here en a little racket of my own, and if I can get a gun I’m all right.’ I inquired as to the nature of the racket. He threatened to kill me if I gave him away. He said, ‘I came here to rob this stage to make a stake.to go to Arizona on,’ He said if he could get a shot-gun he would do it alone, and if I got him agun he would ‘whack up’ even. ‘If you want to go in with me I'll whack up even,’ said’he. I told him I would see about it. He told me about stealing some silverware at Marysville, und burying it in a manure pile. He told me of a man he had robbed at Firebaugh’s Ferry, also a man he hail tried to garrote, and that he hithim inthe head with a sand-bag and killed him. He said the last circumstance occurred in the lower country, but would te!! mothing more. He said he was the man who tried to stop Finchley near Camptonville afew days ago. We went down town again, he cautioning me to keep quiet. I told my friend, Charlie Ress, about the affair, and said we would catch the man, My partner (Ross) made hisacquaintauce subsequeatly. He (Chester) told Mrs. Davenport where he hid the $500 worth of silverware. Thursday met Huckins, and at hid request Tama Deputy Sheriff, and I arrest the off-side of the stage. Chester at ee ‘mask on Chester, but said he sewed went out walking with him and made arrangements to catch the man, as already told. Huckius got the gun, and Ross was totake it so there would be no danger of anyone being endangered, Saturday was the day set. Huckins and.I got on the stage.

He was an inmate, and I was a visitor.” Mr, Searls moved that the prisoner be discharged om the grounds that he had not used force or inutimida— tion, but that his confederates had. The motion was overrmed, and the prisoner was bound over for trial, . his bail being fixed at $4,000. George Chester, the prisoner, isa young mar and rather, intelligent. He worked in San_ Francisco five years, and his employers there, being telegraphed to, give him a good character. He says he went to San Jwan to get work, and, ‘‘Buckskin” told him he was a fool to work for a living, as he coukd go in to the stagerobbing busimess and accumulate. wealth rapidly. He also says that ‘‘Buckskin” told him he had $7,000 buried near Carson that he (Buckskin) had captdred from a stage, and gave other incidents of his prowess in a boasting manner. Chester also claims that when’ he told ‘Buckskin” he would not help rob the San Juan stage and talked of leaving that section to look for work. else— where, ‘‘Buckskip” drew a large kuife and threatened to ki!l him # he did not help commit the deed, “for,” said ‘‘Buckskim,” ‘‘you know too uuch now to draw_out.”.
