Redmond's Body Probably Traveling East.

By Western Associated Press.

DENVER, August 18.—On last Wednesday, it will be remembered, General D. J. Cook, of the Rocky Mountain detectives, received a letter dated Dog Creek, Utah, which stated that the dead body of William Redmond, one of the Grand Lake murderers, had been found lying on the Thornburg road. Today the theory is gaining credence that the letter above referred to was written by some friend of Redmond for the purpose of throwing the detectives off the scent, thus allowing Redmond an opportunity to flee the country. Mrs. Redmond arrived in town today in company with C. Book, of Grand county, who reports that on arriving at Georgetown on their way thither, he procured a paper in which was found an account of the finding of her husband's body, which amused her exceedingly. She was in the best of spirits and while she, of course, did not intimate that it might be a mistake, yet her manner clearly indicated that she regarded the whole story as an excellent joke. She took the Kansas Pacific train east this afternoon, possibly to meet her husband.
