sive mouth: the chin is prominent
and rounded he has a small sandy
moustache and beard of about two
weeks growth. But the most remark
able feature, after the chin and mouth,
is the heavy projecting capacious brow,
such as phrenologists would give TO
men of wonderful mathematical abili-
ty. This man has two wounds, one an
old one, or rather of some days stand
ing. and supposed to be the result of
Wheeler's carbine practice in North
field. 1t is the Decentralization of the
right elbow Joint. His other wound is
from a bali entering the right side,
just below the point of the scapula,
tracing the sixth rib and coming out
near the nipple. This is a mere flesh
wound and not at all dangerous.
The reporter interviewed this man,
and although he hardly liked to probe
the sore wound of mental suf-
fering, still he overcame all compunc-
tions in his zeal to satisfy the public
craving. The first thing which struck
the reporter was the
sINGULARLY FINE TONED VOICE
and fairly fascinating manner of modu-
lating it the man possessed. At first
he seemed reluctant to talk much, and
when the reporter asked him his name
he said it was George Huddleston, to
which the reporter replied, "0h,
know who you are, Ives, most peo-
pie know me in st. Paul. l stayed at
the Merchants

two men in the other room 4!

others will tell you anything YOU wish
to know.
But by chatting familiarly with him
the reporter elected many facts of in
terest. He spoke of the Northfield es-
capade and said it was the first of the
kind he ever was in. When the re-
porter spoke of his wound in the right
arm and asked if it was not from the
carbine of Wheeler, he stated that it
was and his arm dropped on his leg as
described then, which led to the belief
that he was wounded in the leg.
In speaking OF the dead men at
Northlield, the re porter said there was
some uncertainty whether the big
man was Miller or Pits. The prisoner
promptly said, with a smile; at was
not Miller"

A TALK WITH COLE YOUNGER.
Later in the day Cole Younger

saying he was born Jan. 18th, 1914.
lie said the man lying by his side was
his brother James, and that the other
wounded man is his brother Robert.
