Walter Belvins Alleged to Have
Committed Marty Crimes
KNOXVILLE, TENN., Nov. 6.
Rivaling the exploits of Jesse James
were the thrilling experiences and
adventures of Walter Blevins, alies
Walter Curtis, alias Walter Dean, who
has just been taken from tljia city to
Anaconda, Montana,, by Montana offi
cers armed with requisition papers
from Governor T. C. Rye, of Tenn
essee, issued at the request of the
Governor of Montana. Blevins will
be placed on trjal alAnaconda charg
ed with murder ind highway robbery,
and Montana officers here assert that
his sensational career as an outlaw
will end in the gallows at Anaconda.
Blevins belong to the famous Har
vey Logan clan, according to a letter
now in possession of Attorney W. T,
Kennerly, of Knoxville, said to have
been written by Blevins. He was as
clever as the burglar Raffles, as shown
by the fact that once, while officers
had an eye on him, he took a small
wire used to clean his pipe and opened
the lock on his handcuffs. Under
plasters on his back were small saws
and files, and he also had tools to
cut prison bars in his belt. Numer
ous times he has proven that prison
bars are no barrier to his liberty.
Investigation by secret service men
j post oflice inspectors and other Fed
eral officers at Knoxville has dis
closed deeds and crimes attributed to
Blevins which are unparalleled in the
most popular "Diamond Dick" and
"Nick Carter" stories. And yet.
they say, they have not learned half
his career as a desperado. He cov
ered up many of his crimes with ex
traordinary cunning.
Gold nuggests were stolen in Alaska
by Blevins, and on this charge and
jail-breaking at Juneau, Alaska, he
was sentenced to the Federal peni
tentiary at Fort Leavenworth by the
Territorial Court in Alaska.
He was released from Leavenworth
prison on October 15, 1916. He then
went to Chattanooga and worked for
two or three weeks as a structural
steel worker on the Volunteer State
Life Building. He quit that job
about the middle of November, 1916,
and visited his parents, who, it is
said, lived about ten miles above
Johnson City.
For two months he remained in
upper East Tennessee. During that
time the post office at Johnson City
was entered, the vault therein, as
well as the large safe inside the vault
were blown open with nitroglycerim.
and nearly $10,000 worth of postage
stamps and several hundred dollars
in money stolen. A short time there
after the post office at Piney Flats was
broken into. Suspicion attached to
Blevins, although the post office au
thorities had no direct proof of his
connection With this robbery.
In the latter part of February, 1917,
Blevins left East Tennessee and re
turned to Montana, where he had liv
ed for several years before going to
the penitentiary. While in Montana
he was arrested by the State author
ities upon a minor charge and was
given six months in jail. While in
jail at Malta, Montana, he made his
escape, in connection with two men,
who it is claimed were western high
waymen. Shortly after his escape from jail
in company with these two men and
another party, he went to Anaconda,
and while at Anaconda, this quartette
held up ten or fifteen automobiles on
a highway about three miles from
Anaconda. These machines were
loaded with people returning from a
dance ai a country club.
Because one of the parties, a prom
inent business man, failed to hold up
his hands as quickly as Blevins or
dered, it is claimed Blevins shot him
and also shot a woman who did not
respond immediately to his command
The man lived a few weeks and died
The woman recovered.
Officers pursued the robbers, who
had commandeered an automobile,
toward Butte and fired upon them a
number of times and wounded one of
them, who was afterwards captured
in Butte; he was identified as one of
the band, pleaded guilty and was sen
tenced to the penitentiary for life.
Blevins made his escape and was af
terwards recaptured at Miniot, North
Dakota, and returned to Malta, Mon
tana, on the old charge for which he ;
was serving', a sentence when he es- S
caped. It was claimed part of the 3
stolen goods .and jewelry was found S
upon him. EE
Blevins confessed to the robbery jss
of the Johnsdn City post office at! 55
Malta, Montr.:!."., and before the Mon-is
jtana State authorities suspected that, is
he was connected with the Anaconda 2
! robbery he was brought to Tennessee :S
1 for trial for the Johnson City rob- j S
1 bery of the 310,000 in postare stamps ' 3
and several hundred dollars in raon-
ey.
1 He was tried on the charge at the
session of the United States District
Coah in September, at Greeneville,
Tenn., when he repudiated his alleged
confession, claiming it was forced up
on him by the sheriff in Montana, and,
the Federal Government being unable
to rebut his claim, at that time, he
was acquitted by the jury, there be
ing no other evidence of his robbing
the Johnson City post office except his
reputed confession.
While in jail at Greeneville a small
boy in the cell showed Blevins a saw.
Blevins told the boy that the saw was
no good for cutting bars and showed
him some better ones which he had
in his belt. He tolclthe boy that if
when he got out, he would get some
nitroglycerine and smuggle it into
him he would pay the boy $5 and
would use the explosive to kill the
guard and also blow up part of the
prison, so that other prisoners could
escape. The boy was scared and
"squealed" to Federal officers.
Sheriff J. R. Crabb and Deputy
Sheriff Percy Ingalls, of Montana, are
taking Blevins back to Montana with
a twenty-pound boot on his foot,
which has a combination lock which
takes about thirty minutes to open,
and strong handcuffs.

MONEY IN LAND
14 years ago a man bought 18 acres of land for H
$700. He now refuses to sell it for $18,000. The would- jj
5 be purchaser wants the land for fanping purposes. The. S
9 buildings are plain and it is not a town lot affair.
Last week 69 acres of land sold at public auction EE
for more than $30,000 and one man bought it for a farm.
Both of said tracts are situated within 30 miles EE
Es of Fort Barnwell where on
J Thursday, Nov. 15, 1917
EE by order of court I will sell lands just as good as either of EE
EE the tracts mentioned; just as good soil, just as good loca- ss
tion, and the same kind of farmer can make it just as EE
valuable, acre for acre, as either of the two high-priced EE
s tracts. In fact a few years ago the lands I now offer,
B acre for acre, were held at much higher price than either EE
EE of the two tracts now valued so highly.
SMALL FARMS, BIG FARMS, GREAT PLAN- f j
TATIONS may be purchased on easy terms at bargain EE!
EE prices at this extraordinary sale which will be attended s
s by hundreds. You are invited to come. 1
