A MYSTERIOUS LETTER.
A Nan C~onfesses to Q Crime Tor
Which Another il How I'm
prisoned Awaiting his
Trial.

A short time since some fellow
broke into the California Wine
Room, pulled a revolver on q col
ored man and demanded his money.
The thief was scared away, and
ran out of the open window. A
young scamp by the name Of Chas.
Edwards was almost Immediately
afterward arrested by the police on
suspicion of being the burglar. He
was examined at the Police Court
and held to await his trial at the
District Court i'm default Of the sum
of 81, goo bail. He confessed that
he was, when arrested, laying q
plan to burglarize Hengen's shoe
shop, but he denied having entered
the California Wine Room.
Yesterday a letter Of COMES
sion from one Silwater alias hotwell
WAS received at this Office, stating
that he, and not Edwards, was the
one who did the business. OF
not much confidence can be placed
in any such confession, as it would
be too easy to put up job for the
release Of prisoners, if such letters
were believed. OF course it can
ii
only be taken for what it is worth.
The enveloped was postmarked al
st. Joe, June %, while the letter
