Morris, occupation farm hand, hair recently clipped (reason for arrest not mentioned) ; Ed Keenan, well known in Chico, Sacramento, Gridley, Florin and northern part of California (reason for arrest not mentioned) ; Elmer C. Scott for murder, easily identified by the sag or lack of the bridge of his nose and his baritone voice; Kasmer Carl Koss for stealing currency from Wells Fargo & Company while acting as a messenger in Wisconsin.
