Elko Horse Thieves Plead
Guilty -----The three men, Jesse Coates, Ollie Tenille
and Frank Walsh, who were on trial at Elko last week on
a charge of stealing horses in that county, Thursday
afternoon, to the surprise of the attorneys for the
State and all interested in the case, withdrew their
plea of not guilty and pleaded guilty. It is believed
that one of the defendants intended to confess to the
crime and testify against the other two, and that the
attorneys for the defense decided that all three had
better plead guilty. These met bare been shown to have
boon members of an organized gang of horse thieves and
will in all probability be given a heavy sentence. Judge
Brown has since sentenced Coates to seven, Frank Walsh
six and Tenille to three years in State prison. Eureka Sentinel Saturday May 8,
