Mr.. Lampley Visits Hollohan.

YER.
1t will be remembered that Hollohan the
condemned murderer of Mrs. Lampley, stated
in his recent confession that he had hid some
three hundred dollars of the money taken on
the night of the robbery and that the silver
taken at the same time ''was never divided, -
as he aud Nicholson considered that it was
dangerous property to handle at that time;
also that Hollohan in his professions of con-
triton has expressed wish that it was in his
power to 'return the money stolen from the old
man" Prompted by desire to test the sim
certify OF the professions of Hollohan, and in
the hope that he might be able to obtain from
him such information as would lead to the
discovery OF the hidden money stolen from
him, Mr.. Lampley determined to seek an in
tervew With the prisoner. The sheriff prompt
lv complied with the desire of the unfortunate
man, and it was soon arranged that he should
visit the condemned cell on yesterday.
THE INTERVIEW
between the wreched criminal and the strck-
en- victim Of this horrible crime took place
yesterday afternoon in the presence of deputy
sheriff and an officer of the Jail The inter
view was strange one-one which, Tor per-
sons OF certain temperaments and sensbilities,
would no doubt have proved very exciting
one. Bnt in this instance there was no excite
ment on either side. On Mr. Lampley enter
ing the cell and confronting Holohan, the
latter showed very little if any, emharrass-
ment hut took the hand of the old man,
which was extended toward him. To II look
er-on who knew nothing Of the circumstances
the condemned might have been supposed to
be receiving the visit Of IA sympathizhg friend.
Mr.. Lampley proceeded to ask in IA plain,
blunt way a number of questions relative to
the transactions Of the night on which his
wife was murdered and his house robbed,
which Hollohan very freely answered, but
hot ba fp 70 ll,a
which tie dark deed was accomplished differed
in no important particular from the statements
heretofore published. He, however, dwelt
particularly on what he claims to have been
the fact ''that Josh Nicholson as he ia
military calls his companion in crime, twas
the originator of the JOB, - and, further, Chat
Josh insisted that the old woman must be
crooked" ana that her death was essential to
their safety. While Hollohan related the par
ticulars of the horrible murder of his victim
Mr. Lampley was much distressed and wept
freely. The account which he gave of the
blows struck by Nicholson seemed to add
greatly TO the distress Of Mr. Lampley.
WHAT WAS DONE WITH THE MONEY.
Hollohan expressed his qualification at see
ing Mr.. Iampley in order, as be stated, that
he might give all the information he possessed
as to where he had secreted the $500 in green
backs which he refers TO in his confession here
