ANOTHER ACCOUNT OF HIS ST. PAUL soJoURN
From Dubuque he went to Lacrosse. thence
to st. Paul. With reference to his arrest at the
latter place for burglary he said:
1T was an accident. l had gotten two seal
skin sacks, and a cap, and q pair of gloves worth
$2lO, and went to an old friend-a man knew
when was there two or three years ago-and
told him wanted to leave them in the saloon,
but If he wished to buy them he could do so
Tor S25. He looked at them, and happened to
see the name on the wrapper that came from the
store. 1t was his uncle's, and was arrested. If
the store hadn't been his uncles he would have
taken the goods, for he is a little crooked; and
there are hundred people there who would
have taken them at that price. When I got to
the station the chief of police, and detective.

from Chicago? No. SIR WELL said he.
we have your picture here;' and the detective
says, That is him; mole on his left cheek I
saw that they had me, and thought might
as well acknowledge who was. They brought
the photograph out, and I said That's me-
When Durphey and l were in Dubuque there
WAS gang there who were making it pretty
lively for the town, and the mayor offered a re-
ward of S25 for them. We wern't doing any
thing, and l wasn't afraid on that account,
but l thought they might run us in. and that
they had our pictures. That was why I left
there"
Have you heard from Durphey since YOU
left him?''
''Eo"
You don't know where he is?"
l haven't the slightest idea.'
"And you don't know anything about the
robbery or the murder?"
Only what the paper says
And you didn't see Lamb that night?"
III admit that saw Lamb and most of
the persons accused in Ott's saloon, at Kin
zie and Franklin streets, but l left them all
there"
What time?''
81 think it was between and O'clock in
the evening"
Did you see Lane and Linnett there?''
No; but everybody else the police were
looking for were there.'
What were you doing there!'
Taking drink or two lust went there
with friend; heard that Lamb had gotten out
of the Bridewell, and went to see him more
than any thing else.''
Freeman seemed to be nervous, walking ND
and down his cell as if he had something on
his mind. An ordinary charge of burglary
wonld not SO affect him, as he has the reputa-
ton OF being 'nervy," and has sustained that
reputation thus far in his career. While he is
bad man, it is not believed, outside of police
circles, that either he or Lamb did the shooting
WHAT HE SAYS ABOUT DURPHEY.
Sheeney' then went on to tell about leaving

and Durphey walked out on the Galena road;
the journey in the cars to Freeport, and
THENCE TO DUBUQUE,
where they visited places of amusement and

to be somebody there, hes said, ''that was work
ing the town, giving it a pretty lively racket
so much SO as to cause the mayor to issue O.
proclamation offering reward of $50 for them.
We knew they wouldn't get on to us, for we
hadn't done anything, but was afraid they
might pull us in and have our photographs. as
the papers said they had been distributed all
over the country. took the alarm and left.

Freeman had told detective Bauder that
while at Dubuque he and Durphey took boat
and Went out for a sail. Both were under the
influence Of liquor. A storm came up, the
craft became unmanageable, and Durphey was
lost overheard. This yarn was probably in
vented to cover Durphey, who is believed to
have been in st. Paul with 'Sheeney," since
there were the tracks of two men in the snow
on the roof of the store from which were taken
the articles found IN Freeman's possession at
the time of his capture. Perhaps he knows
Durphey was the one who shot Race. and his OBJ
]ect was to create the impression that Durphey
was dead.
