Not n Confession, but n Denial.

IL was reported in some Of the papers that
the letter found in RYAN's cell, after his
death, not only admitted that he had com
mitted suicide but that it was a Confession
by Implication that he was guilty Of the
murder charged against him 1t turns out
10 be nothing Of the kind. On the contrary
II Is positive rcassertion Of his innocence.
II does not follow from this, by any means
that he was innocent; but then it is now
certain that he has gone to his grave with
out having made any confession, and that
in the face OF death and when about to go to
Judgment he persistcntly denied his guilt
1t Is true guilty men as we'll as innocent
have done the same thing before. We do
not speak of the case as disclosing anything
more than the bare possibility that these
two mon were not the real parties who com
mittcd the particular crime for which they
died.
II Is furthermore worthy ~ remark that
while the murdered man In the Newark case
was police officer and it was deemed cspc-
cially necessary to execute the two prison
crs who had been convicted Of the crime for
the purpose Of protecting other police OIL
GERS, yet In the ARRAY which occurred at
JOE CoBURN's saloon In this city only if-
teen hours after the Newark execution, II
was two policemen who were shot
