HORRIBLE CONFESSION OF MURDER,

oaN hhG>Slcto. Sdi. august 1O.-IUc de-
tails of the confessions of Dye and Anderson
are to the following effect: Dye had found the
once OF public administrator Improbable,
and had remarked occasionally in jest that he
would have to Kill some one to make il pay.
The idea obtained deep hold on his mind.
and he took Anderson, who he had for long
time employed In his butcher shop. and
another party yet unknown, into his coun-
ellis. Dye and Anderson charge each other
with being the original tempter. They finally
iiAed on Iuliis as the victim. Dye had been
ms Trend and neighbor for twelve years and
Knew the value of his property. and as Tuis
had never been communicative concerning
his family affairs, it was supposed he had no
relative to claim his estate. Over two months
ago Anderson and an unknown party went TO
Tuilis place 90 put the plan luto execution
but their courage failed them. Dye urged the
crlDle psrSlStently, and Anderson conceived
the idea of murder by poison. A bottle of
p0isaned cocktails was prepared in a saloon
kept by Dye g. Clark. i'm Sacramento, and An
derson went to TulllS Tanche ostensibly in
search OF work: He gave him the bottle after
good liquor, and left. For some reason this
plot miscarried. and it was then decided that
. bold work was required; A boat was
Anderson pulled it down the river,
and was joined by his confederate below the
city, and they proceeded to Tullis' rancho
down with sand bag and Shot him in several
places. This was on the evening of Thursday
the lst instant, at O'Clock. Dye, OF this eve
ming, ,staid at his house in Sacramento till s
O'Clock, entertaining a visitor. He excused
himself, took buggy, drove down the river
about Is miles, met the aSsaSsnS at the place
appointed, and drove them back to SacIa-
mentO. During the ride they related all the
circumstances OF the murder to Dye The
trio returned much under the influence Of
liquor. Dye says Anderson had revealed to
him crimes of his past life, Including the muir
der of two sheep -herders in the vicinity of
Sacramento. Dyes plan for realizing on the
estate OF Tuilis Was to compound with his
creditors. His legitimate commission would
have been about $500. Dye has always borne
good reputation, but parties now coming
forward affirm that he was a bushwhacker
during the war, and pillaged and murdered
indiscriminately. The confessions cover abou;
eight closely printed columns, developing
every stage of the progress to the commission
OF the crime. Neither party will be allowed to
turn states evidence. The district attorney is
confident of the conviction of both

After our report Of the Potter committees

Times, was further proceeded with

had promised i'm everything. Anderson was
delighted and said his fortune was made, and
that he was glad he made his protest, He said

GEN. BUTLER TAKES THE WITNESS IN HAND.
Here General Butler took the witness in
rand Tor cross examination. Witness, in re
ply TO questions, stated that Anderson never
showed him a copy Of the protest in East Fe-
iiciana, but simply told him that he had made
it. Mr.. Sherman was the only one of the
statesmen witness remembered; the others he
did not think amounted to anything. Witness
had seen Sherman before he had seen his name
to the letter. Witness refused to be intro
duced to the visiting statesmen becauie he
feared their seductive influence. After An
deiSon got the Sherman letter he began to
withdraw his confidence from me- said wit

derSon called on me and said he had some yer
bal promises from Sherman, and that in a
couple of days afterward he called again in
great Joy and showed me the letter.

not allowed to make full statement of his
record to the committee. Mr. Potter said they
only wanted his testimony.

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE.
The Residence of Christian Schnare
Burned.

The residence of Mr.. Christian Schnare,
north of the railroad, caught FIRE yesterday
about ten O'Clock, and despite the efforts TO
save it, was completely destroyed.
The FIRE originated from defective 6ue.
The members of the family, with the excep-
ton of Mr.. Schnare, were all in the house
at the time, and succeeded in saving most Of
the household goods.
The house was story and half frame,
and was worth about $500. 1t had been in
sured, but the policy expired few days
ago. The loss OF his home will fall rather
heavily on Mr.. Schnare, who is a poor,
hard-working man. and is at present en-
ployed IN the Pacific shops.
The things that were saved from the
burning building were taken to the house 81
q neighbor, where Mr.. Schnare and his fam.
lily will remain until they can secure anoth-
er house.
