The nnnio In the McAfee murilcr case was n surprise to nil , oven to those who had been convinced of the guilt ot Giles from the day of his arrest. The tramp had maintained Ills Innocence until Saturday , and many believed him , throwing the RUllt on a person from here , But a query from his sister , Mry. Hough , who had come from Ohio to attend his trial , brought forth a confession. This was re peated In court , after which Giles told his own story. , Ho claimed that a revelation from God had commanded him to found n new eict , and that after reading the nook of Mormcn he became convinced that this was the > doc trine he sought. It was while he still had thlo idea In his head tint ho came to this vicinity. On the fatal Sabbath day he passed the home ot the honest old farmer who fed him the morning before. He paid that an Irreslstable Impulse overcame him then and io jumped over the fence and Bhot Mr , Afee as he stood shaking the crumbs out ot the table cloth. The tracks ot Giles , who became better known as the "Tennessee King , " were closely followed to the city limits and his worn satchel found beside them , but no trace of the pistol could be found. In his con- feeslon Giles told how ho had hid It In the corn ( leld as he fled , and had carefully patted down the earth to conceal Its hiding place. Still claiming that he had fulfilled a mis sion from God , he asked the court to give him the death penalty In preference to 1m- pr sonment. Judge Herdman , however , could only give the sentence of the Jury , which sentenced Joseph L. Giles to the penitentiary for seventeen years.

Mrs. Lydla Spaldlng began suit In the superior court today against the Pullman Palace Car company and the Denver & Ulo- Grande Hallway company for $100,000 damages for alleged filso arrest and Imprisonment. Mrs. Spaldlng , who , accord ing to the bill , Is a hotel keeper In San Francisco.claims that last June she bought a ticket from , the latter city to Now York , whence she expected to rail for Europe. She also purchased at San Francisco a sleeping car ticket to Denver. The plaintiff alleges that when the train stopped at Lcadvllle she was taken from the Pullman car and conveyed to the Lcadvlllo Jill , not even being given time to put on all her clothing. She was put into a room twenty feet square , In which there were len male prisoners , some of them locked up for desperate crimes. The room , the plaintiff says , was filthy nnd filled with vermin and the walls covered with cbMeno pictures. Sm ! remained In jail forty-eight hours , when slio was released. Mrs. Spaldlng says that no charge- was preferred against her and at no tlmo was she taken In a court. At the tlmo of hen arrest she had several thousand dollars In money on her person , and n quantity of valu able Jewelry , all of which was taken from her and novcr recovered. It Is charge. ! that the arrest was brought about by etnplojes of the sleeping car with the object of rob bery , and that thsy were successful In that object. Neither of the defendant companies made any complaint or charged her with any offeiu'3 for which she was arrested , and she clalmo tlioy are liable for' damages. IN A Sllvs.lTIO.VAI , OASIS.
