give away their pals besides II not the nrst TN
they got their ''whack from the same and other men
REPoRTER-Can you tell who these men areY
FoRREsTER-That is difficult question, but can ted
you this:-l mean to be revenged for what has Deea
done To me; Jourdan, who WAS Superintendent of Pc
lice when the murder committed, fell into speed,
grave consequence OF it, and that scoundrel Jacl
McCord is following rapidly after him; NV time is com
ing; If have to serve out every day Of my
JUSTICE
am Scotchman and have all the pertinacity of my
race, and never forget an injury.
REroRrER-What do you think of the Conkn- Ryan
stOryg
FORREsTER-I do not place much faith it, There
never was first class thief of my acquaintance named
Ryan, and Conkn is TO be believed at all 1t is because
he he was ordered to desst his search by his
riors II he was searching all have no doubt he wa
ordered 10 stop it. II is not likely however that an or
binary patrolman could get to such Job rs the Ma
than murder and robbery, where hrstclass were
engaged
REpoRTER-You are then or the opinion that certain
policemen in New York are cognzant OF the whole affair
their called searches nerey blinds 70 covci
up tracks nearer home
FoRREsTER-rhat Is my belief, and might almost say
my knowledge, and viii yet
LOSE MY
IN the attempt help God III do 1t, for those fell
lows and their accompces sent my father and mother
TO an insane asylum, and 1t makes Inc cry whenever
think lit Why did Jourdan allow young Nathan'a
shirt TO be washed the discovery of the murder
Because he knew that chemical analysis would tell
whether the blood got there when II warm
when was cold and he wanted to save the reputation
OF the family.
kEroRTER-Then you do not believe that any OF the
Nahans were implicated in their fathers assassination
noRREsrER-rhey are as innocent of it you
., hErokrER-Have you anything further to say about
FoRREsTER-I have told you all know and It Is the
hrst clear and full statement have yet made There Is
no man III ths country who dcspises more for the
life have hitherto led than do myself: but To-
DAY am as square" man any of those who have
trlduced me; at least have quit stealing and the in
tent to DO so, and when leave this place my purpose
is TO
EXPOSE THE RAscALrY
Of which have given you only outline and Of
which have been ut times the victim Indeed am
innocent of the charge for which my second sentence
pronounced have laid the evidence ia the mat
ter before Governor Beverage and expect his favorable
consideration of it, well that OF the legal adviser
OF the State upon its merits rs submitted Should the
Governor look favoraby upon my petition will leave
will hear from me ! would say in addition that the
''dog' which used in the commission of the
murder
WAS A BURGLARS TOOL
for the time being II used a back brace' for
the upright, by means of which the safe being
drilled but not in position when the old man came
the scene
Forester explained this my entire satisfaction by
n rough model of safe breaking instrument which
he hewed out with u knife. The uninitiated reader
would scarcely understand its shape application II
described
1t remains to be seen what action will be taken by the
authorities of Illinois and New York in view of this
markable statement. IL is certainly entitled to grave
consideration, and If there is truth in It ut all 1t
proves conclusvely that there great crmi als
the police force of the metropolitan city and ing its
socaled prominent men as are hedged by any panten-
matter will especially the people of the whole
country.
