Oliver O. Mosier and "Ed" Grady, the self- confessed murderers of Robert T. Hannah, are now securely confined in the county jail of this city. They were brought down from Red Lodge yesterday and were behind the bars before more than a very few persons knew of their arrival. The removal was decided upon three or four days ago, as it was considered that whatever danger from a mob may have existed at one time had passed and that the men would be equally as safe here as in the jail of another county. Acting upon this conclusion, Under Sheriff Sayles left for Red Lodge yesterday morning, as it was understood that Sheriff Potter of Carbon county would assist in guarding the prisoners. With two guards and the fellows adorned with the customary jewelry, it was deemed unnecessary to take any extra men along, as they would not attempt to escape and no fear of violence from an excited people was apprehended. In order, however, to create no excitement by their appearance down town, the train was stopped west of the city some distance, in the yards of the Northern Pacific, where a carriage was awaiting and into this they were placed and driven to jail through the back streets. Whatever their thoughts may have been on the ride to the place which they could have no hope of leaving alive, by no outward indication did they manifest any but the same indifferent, hardened bearing they maintained while confined at Red Lodge. It is possible that an occasional serious look may have been detected on their countenances, but if so it speedily vanished and was replaced by one indication the utmost indifference and apparent happiness. Mrs. Davidson, mother of Grady, his two sisters and another woman were at Red Lodge when Mr. Sayles arrived, they having gone up the day before to visit "Ed." They accompanied the men back to Billings. According t Mr. Sayles the men talked almost incessantly about their case, seemingly being unable to converse on any other subject. The admissions made by them voluntarily on the train of themselves would be ample testimony to warrant their conviction, not to say anything about the confessions made by them at the time of their arrest and shortly afterward. While seemingly perfectly resigned as far as any fate the law may have in store for them, they expressed the utmost fear at the possibility of vengeance from a mob and as the train neared the city seemed badly frightened at times. When finally behind the iron doors of the county jail, they regained their wonted composure and apparently were glad to be there. CHARGED WITH OTHER OFFENSES Many Rumors Concerning "Ed" Grady Have Gained Currency. Since his arrest, rumor has connected "Ed" Grady with various other offenses, some allegedly of recent commission, some said to have been committed in former years. One report persistently circulated for several days has it that evidence has been secured connection him in an unmistakable manner with the murder of the Chinese woman who was found dead in her shanty several months ago. The officers supposedly familiar with the facts that gave rise to the story deny it absolutely. As related the tale has it that when search was made of Grad's trunk, the day of the morning of Sergeant Hannah's murder, evidence was found clearly establishing his guilt of the other murder. What this testimony was no one seems to be able to say. When asked concerning it Chief Morse pronounced the story clear fiction, but gave a plausible explanation of its origin. He said that some persons had remarked that if the truth were known it would undoubtedly show that Grady has killed the woman for the money she was supposed to have. "Some one heard this," said the chief, "and when told by the next person the remark was distorted, as such remarks usually are, and Grady was accused of the murder with the additional statement of the alleged evidence The Billings Gazette Billings, Yellowstone County, Montana, Tuesday, July 15, 1904
