place before follow,me; We walked to the
end Of the lot; he climbed fence and tried
the picket next to mo, but IL would not
come loose; he tod me to get over and try
it ON the other side Of tho privy, by the
Carney used tho chisel and unfastened .
picket easily; / pulled of the picket and
through little gate into the main yard; /
opened the little gate; Carney then had his
shoes of; l went INTO the privy; when
came out both dogs were barking and pro-
posed to leave; he said no, that We had
gone that far and he asked me which way the
bed stood; told him; the door was open;
he asked me about the other door, and told
me to follow him in: we went into the room,
behind. sd
The little dog was barking; he whispered
saying light match; it seemed there was q
stir in the bed; there was little bit Of
noise, but could not see, as no light was
struck; heard kind Of choking noise in
the bed; Garvey was by the bed then, and
lighted candle; the candle was bought
by Carney ON Tohoupitoulas street about
two weeks ago; opened the armOir while
he stood by the bed! pulled q chest from
under the bed: but found nothing in it; he
then left the bed, saying that the old
woman had tainted or something; that she
was quiet.
Wethen noticed the box which contained
the money; it was locked; Garvey looked
into the armoir drawer, and found the chest
key; he unlocked the chest; | put my hand
into the chest, but did not find the money;
Garvey found it in little till at one end;
he handed me the book containing the
money, and some greenbacks dropped out;
we gathered the money into roll, and l
put it into my coat pocket; he said that is
not all, there is hard stuff somewhere; he
returned to the chest again, put his hand
under the till, and pulled out q small sack;
emptied the sack, but it had no money in
it; he reached again and pulled out another
sack with p0cket-book in it, which he
handed to me; he said, "Thats all; there is
at least two thousand dollars, and we had
better CO." Fr-
We left; we went out the rear way,
emerging on Sixth street through the
| church gate; we went down Laurel street
to Felicity; between Felicity and St. Mary
streets we met q policeman, and Garvey
spoke to him; we turned down Constance
street again to Calliope, thence to st. Mary
| market, where we drank ceffee; thence
down TchOupitoulas street, and Garvey
threw the chisel away; then we went to the
French Market and took drinks and played
cards in q coReehouse; Garvey asked the
barkeeper if he had any other room; the
| answer was yes.
We took candle, and the barkeepe1
| showed us into water closet; Garvey
divided the money; threw the sack and
| pocketboOk into the river; we took another
| drink in the same coffeehOuse, when he said
he would 60 up; said would remain
there until near daylight, when took q
cab and started for home; got out at George
Gier's coffeehouse with the cabby; then
walked up on the levee and, when between
Seventh and Eighth streets, hid my money
| in q pile of stayes; cannot say exactly how
much money had, gold and currency; about
forty dollars in gold and over three hun
dred dollars in bills.
Garvey had the chisel and revolver in
Zollinger's house; did not know: that Mrs.
Zollinger was dead until / was arrested;
did not 90 to the bed, but saw Garvey lean
ing over the bed; Garvey did not know
that she was dead, think; he did not
| speak of it.
Monday morning, while l was home
changing my clothing, Garvey came to me
and asked if was going to work; told
him yes, l was as soon as put on my
working clothes; We then went out, took q
drink at the corner of Washington and An
nunciatiOn streets, thence to the levee;
Garvey did not tell me where he had
placed his money, but said it was all right;
Garvey said the old woman might have
croaked. CHARLES EARLE.
